The Jesuits...
...at London's famous Farm Street church sponsor an event called "Theology on tap", in which young people meet at a pub and discuss some aspect of the Catholic faith. Yesterday I was invited to be their speaker: "Women and the Church", at a pub in Grays Inn Road. A lively discussion, not without its amusing moments...at one point, a (male!) Jesuit was putting the case for priestesses, and was roundly opposed by the young women in the room, who said they supported the Church's traditional teaching!

Sigh. You have everything in London. I think I will return when my PhD finishes sometime next year.
I caught this on Rich Leonardi's "Ten Reasons." Bravo.
We have "Theology on Tap" here in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. They're generally solid.
And so? Apart from making this all about you, what does it mean. You have provided no information here.
Actually, Mulier, it's about the Jesuits, and the fact that their stuck-in-the-70s dissent no longer flies with the younger set. Do you perhaps share the Jesuits' frustration?
