Because of its position on Birth Control, married Clergy, Women Priests, and overall attitudes on the role of women in everyday life.

Womanhood and Motherhood is so I portal to the Church led by men who have suppressed their sexuality to the point that they prey on children for release and abuse the power they have. Taking marriage and sexuality advice from celibate men is absurd.
