I agree also. It IS about time!
The face of the Church and the door to the Church has to be Jesus Christ, NOT mere mortals who make themselves a KGB force whose mission is to form a select group in a hunkered-down enclave of "orthodox", self-righteous people focused on man-made religion and polishing their halos because of their exagerrated
piety.
Their proud
piety makes them no more acceptable in God's presence than any other slob who believes in Christ and clings to Him for forgiveness and salvation in eternity.
Human pride and false pretenses about it are always a ticket to downward spiral, beginning with Adam and Eve.
