Vatican attacks radical feminism (because they know so much about it)

In a hissy fit sparked by John Paul II showing up at an ecumenical council meeting and finding Susan Sarandon wearing the same gown as his, J-P II issued some papal bull:

The document, approved by the Pope, says feminism has "inspired ideologies" which question family and marriage as a commitment between a man and a woman.

How dare those ... those WOMEN ... have the temerity to think about whether or not the law laid down by the "no girls allowed" functionaries over the last thousand or so years might not be universally double-plus good! The nerve of those hussies!

Of course, the Men in Black can never let it go with that, they also gotta tie it to the eeeevil cause of other stuff they don't like -- or at least the stuff they don't like to admit:

... the letter says that feminism's view of equality "has in reality inspired ideologies which for example call into question the family, in its natural two-parent structure of mother and father, and to make homosexuality and heterosexuality virtually equivalent".
I never knew those parish priests were feminists. How about that?
