I exaggerate, but you get the point. As some have suggested, prayer is not sufficient alone in all cases.

You are projecting current day progressive attitudes onto a period in time that you or I CANNOT fully understand. The absurdity, while poignant and compelling to this audience, of your statement above is alien to the prevailing attitudes of that time frame.
It seems so simple to you and I now, however it was not that simple then. And what bearing does it have on the Church now. Embarassment? Is it a stumbling block -a trial to overcome ... aren't stumbling blocks and trials essential to the exercise of agency?
Gosh, it would be great if you and I were perfect -for you and I are the Church ... think about it
