From Fox News:
There are 400,000 women in Germany already whose livelihoods come from selling their bodies for other people's sexual enjoyment. A US Congressman has cited that perhaps 40,000 more will make their way into Germany's borders while the country hosts the World Cup Soccer games. Archbishop Agostino Marchetto, a top official for the Pontifical Council for the Care of Migrants, told Vatican radio earlier this week:
"Using soccer terminology, I say that red flags should be given to this industry, to its clients and to the public authorities who host the event. Prostitution, in fact, violates the dignity of the human person, reducing her to an object and instrument of sexual pleasure. Women become goods to be purchased, whose cost is even less than that of a ticket to a soccer game."
I wonder what the radical feminists think about this. I mean, do they whip out their same shtick about this issue that they do about abortion? "Prostitution empowers women"? "It's her body, it's her choice"? And if not, then I wonder if they would give this woman-suppressing cleric from the woman-suppressing Church some credit for speaking out on the exploitation of women. Hey I can dream can't I?
