In the non American Protestant Church it’s less of a problem because there is little to no social power in the church: those men who belong do because of the gospel. And many of them are looking and what has happened, and what influences their daughters are facing, and trying to find another way.

Hence the post: I have a daughter: I have a grand daughter. I have sons and Grandsons. I have a dog in this fight.

I have heard a few more traditional priests touch on this, but most leave it alone. Rome herself hasn’t been terribly helpful either. The last real teaching on marriage, by John Paul II, was muddleheaded and took a slightly feminist tack. Benedict was a bit better and Francis seems not to be much of a feminist. I have read and reread John Paul II on this topic, and honestly concluded, finally, that he was just having a really bad day when he wrote on the topic. It is very poorly written, unclear and tendentious. I have more or less decided to forget it.

Typically, modern men have to rely on themselves in this area.
