I agree with Joan. There is a huge difference and the Catholic glass
ceiling is feeble and unimportant to me.

Why is this a women in the Academy of International Business issue? If this
is become the academy of management gender and diversity list, I want off.
Tired of the Roman Catholic Church bashing, even under the guise of
academic freedom. It is getting old.

Subject: [WAIB-L] Impacts of Mimetic Violence in Patriarchal Religions
Current issue of Solidarity & Sustainability ~ June 2006
http://www.pelican-consulting.com/solisustv02n06.html
This is the third issue in the series, "Mimetic Violence in Patriarchal
Religions." René Girard's mimetic theory is applied to a relatively
recent episode in the Roman Catholic Church. Specifically, this case
example pertains to the male-only priesthood, and the manner in which
the discernment process on the ordination of women was "terminated" (at
least temporarily) by the Vatican. The analysis includes the five
Girardian phases: mimetic desire, mimetic rivalry, skandalon,
scapegoating, and sacred violence.
There is no implication of intentional wrongdoing by anyone at the
Vatican or elsewhere. However, a radical renunciation of all forms of
religious violence (no matter how subtle) is postulated as indispensable
to make progress toward human solidarity and ecological sustainability.
Religious institutions must show the way by renouncing the triple
patriarchal addiction to wealth accumulation, absolute power, and
worldly honors; thereby renouncing violence in their own internal
affairs. Else, how can they be "instruments of peace"?
Any feedback is gratefully received.
Sincerely,
Luis
