FutureChurch "dismayed" it was not consulted about bishop appointment

And this:
FutureChurch prays that Bishop Lennon will vigorously address the priest shortage by inviting open discussion of both married and celibate priestly calls and ordaining women as deacons as a doable next step toward their full inclusion in priestly ministry.
How is it possible that one can keep beating one's head against the wall year after year, decade after decade, while remaining completely oblivious to reality. Would not this continual cranial assault not "knock some sense into one's head" as I used to hear growing up? Apparently that was just something my momma used to say to scare us as kids. One would have to admit that this group, and others like it, are tenacious beyond belief. Some would say they are foolish rather than hopeful. Is it not foolish to hope for something which will never happen (as in women priests) - something which has no possibility of ever happening?
