They can sign all the “pledges of fraternity” they want, but where is the pledge to women? These are patriarchs who continue to oppose women’s ordination, leadership and equality theguardian.com/world/2019/feb… Pope Francis in the UAEPope Francis and the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar kissing
- In the #UAE, the ruler of #Dubai has reportedly forcibly repatriated 2 of his daughters who tried to escape & is holding them vs their will
- Vatican & al-Azhar prohibit ordination of women
- Al-Azhar is furious that #Tunisia wants to make inheritance equal between men & women
So, I ask the Patriarchs in robes: WHERE IS THE PLEDGE OF SORORITY?
How long are we going to celebrate these patriarchs? How long will the damage and harm that results from their patriarchy go ignored just because they’re embracing, kissing, visiting each other and speaking against sectarianism? Who speaks against misogyny?
