Pope Calls To End Gender Pay Gap
Pope Francis is speaking out for pay equality.
“As Christians, we must become more demanding… (by) supporting with decision the right to equal retribution for equal work; disparity is a pure scandal,” he said during a weekly address at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. Pope Francis was discussing the divorce rate when he made the comment, Vatican Radio reported.
The Pope also said “broken marriage bonds” are bad for the children involved and advocated for an equal relationship between spouses, which carries over to the workplace. “The equality enjoyed by the spouses must produce new fruit — equal opportunities in the workplace; a new valuing of motherhood and fatherhood, and a greater appreciation for the openness of families to those most in need,” he said.

So female Catholic priests will now receive the same benefit package as the male ones?

Nah, the ‘free boys’ package only extends to males.

How about poverty, homelessness, lack of health care, pedophelia condoned by the church, lack of equality for nuns. The list is endless so lets pick one the male driven corporatacrasy could not give two shits about.
