>This is the third issue in the series, "Mimetic Violence in Patriarchal
>Religions." René Girard's mimetic theory is applied to a relatively
>recent episode in the Roman Catholic Church. Specifically, this case
>example pertains to the male-only priesthood, and the manner in which
>the discernment process on the ordination of women was "terminated" (at
>least temporarily) by the Vatican. The analysis includes the five
>Girardian phases: mimetic desire, mimetic rivalry, skandalon,
>scapegoating, and sacred violence.
>
>There is no implication of intentional wrongdoing by anyone at the
>Vatican or elsewhere. However, a radical renunciation of violence is
>postulated as indispensable to make progress toward human solidarity and
>environmental sustainability. Religious institutions must show the way
>by renouncing the triple patriarchal addiction to wealth accumulation,
>absolute power, and worldly honors; thereby renouncing violence. If
>religious institutions really want to be instruments of peace, they
>better practice non-violence in their own internal affairs.
>
>Any feedback is gratefully received.
