It may take up to two years for Pope Francis to act, but I'm sad
nonetheless that the tenure of Bishop Stephen Blaire, who has led the
Diocese of Stockton since 1999, is coming to an end.
Knowing him has made me rethink the faith in which I was raised. It's not easy to be a Catholic woman in the 21st century, or in the 20th or any other century for that matter. It's a patriarchal faith and its position on some issues, such as an opposition to birth control, makes my blood boil.
