Rampant sexism in regards to both access to power and access to wealth:

Additionally, the president still pays his female employees significantly less than their male counterparts.

If a bishop tried to have an all-male staff, there would be considerable commotion. Heck, the bishops would never let a Republican president get away with this. Are we merely pawns of one secular political party or are we to stand for a greater cause of social justice? I've been told my entire career in the Episcopal Church that we speak truth to power. What suddenly happened? Do we speak truth only to certain forms of power? Do we respect the dignity of every human being, as long as that person agrees with our ideology with unquestioning totality?
