This book challenges, and for good reason.
Maud and Alice Almond Chablis have indeed conducted a rigorous study of the Holy Scriptures deal with various publications encyclicals and Vatican: this study demonstrates that without ceasing, the Catholic Church has denied all power to women, justifying such a denial by interpretations who resolutely sécartent lenseignement of the Gospels.
DAfter both authors, this denial testifies in reality dune patriarchal and pagan tradition, in total contradiction with the Christian message that "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus "(Epistle of Paul to the Galatians 3-28).
Instead of considering men and women equally dhumanité according to evangelical norm Leglise has always made the difference in establishing precedence of man over woman, she precedence even made a dogma.
A dogma that has been imposed on generations of Catholics, thanks to the supposed infallible word of popes who have succeeded to the institution of orders. The unfortunate situation that results is likely to persist as long as the papacy and his formidable Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith sobstineront in such reductive vision of humanity.
This book is destined to become a benchmark for the role of women in the Catholic Church: this is the conviction of the great theologian Joseph Moingt in the preface of the book.
