Dr. von Hildebrand's comments were (I believe) directed to the radfems, whom I do not believe to be numerous. I *do* think that my observations on the nature of womanhood as it is implemented in this country were rather on target. How many young women nowadays refuse to demean themselves through modern beach attire? If that's not immodest dress, what is? We are living in rather sad times, and I don't look for great advances in Christian doctrine and spirituality, which, of course, women's ordination is supposed to be. If my view of women's ordination is correct, it also says a few things about the modern view of the social roles of men and women, which I will leave to our gentle readers to work out.
