Most people wish I

Most people wish I had never been born.

I exaggerate. They don't mind my existence, what they mind is me having had opinions, and refusing to retire to the background. Dan Brown was wrong about a lot, but he was right that the larger role I played is generally censored for a reason. Because I ruin the official story.

Even if you toss aside all of the sex and marriage bits, I preached, and I was as equal to the men as our society could handle. I was no camp follower, I was no shield maiden, I was no "groupie".

Protestants can sometimes accept that, although they still have trouble with the sex. But Catholics can't admit it, and so I ruin everything by simply being me.

I wouldn't shut up then, and I won't shut up now.
