I'm a little confused after reading the excellent my book "Denial, they are in power, they are serving" Maud Almond, Alice Chablis, published in January 2014 in Bayard. Jai had to take a time to step back in order to draw the lines in the following summary. Certainly, I suspected that he had a ostracism of women in the Catholic Church, as in almost all religions. But I not nimaginais how this ostracism sappuyait on misogyny originating over two thousand years of patriarchy hostile, cleverly, systematically and methodically embedded in the dogma of the Catholic faith forever. If this book navait not prefaced by a great French Jesuit theologian highly recognized worldwide, Joseph Moingt, jaurais believed in exaggeration of a feminist protest movement. But unfortunately there is nothing nen, this is the sad truth. The authors demonstrate, quotes from important texts in supporting that this dogma was methodically developed one hand on a small number limited, selected original pagan mythical described that inspired the Old Testament, especially Genesis and secondly the continuous and scalable building the myth of the Virgin Mary to define an archetype of the ideal woman Eve-Marie. This virtual oxymoron figure of the woman Eve-Marie, impracticable by any concrete woman in the flesh, justified his exclusion of any form of responsibility in church and the priesthood. Women must be limited to the most menial tasks, and men in lhumilité The acceptance of service and discretion. Even if one day soon, the existence and life of the Church no longer quessentiellement rested on their shoulders, it would still deny their primary role. In fact it lies in the nature of women, in its essence, as its inalienable duty dabnégation always serve men, without any acknowledgment and without claim to any reciprocity. Thus, the requirement of freedom so central in Christianity, is denied to women, thereby excluding from what one usually calls humanity. Lhomme freely determined by a choice of Accession or not to faith as the woman without merit must conform to its essence, its rated kind. The woman's fate depends on the goodwill of man to redeem the original sin solely because of his membership of the sex of the Universal temptress, guilty of the downfall of humanity into sin. This eternal guilt of women in Leglise, that consideration of unequal gender relations in a relationship of domination / dominated is in deep contradiction with the central concept of agape love founded by the Gospels and lenseignement of Jesus Christ. So this Catholic dogma defining the nature of the woman and her role in religion is in complete opposition to the fundamental values of Christianity. Although few Catholics are aware of this grave inconsistency which is not for nothing in current moral collapse, digital and sometimes outrageous that institutional Church desperately clings to archaic patriarchal values in complete phase with a contemporary world that better integrates women than in years past in a more tolerant humanity in its diversity. This antiévangélique dogma was mounted by the exclusive prerogative of the various popes who succeeded until the very recent past or even today. Cape BE risk still maintained for long, because this topic is locked by the popes and the dreaded congregation of the faith which is the institution that succeeded the Inquisition. Maybe that one day it ny has more priests in Catholic churches. Will til transformed into Protestant churches where women pastors officiate?
In any case the authors have conducted a fascinating study on the writings of the Catholic Church. They are applied to dismantle the techniques of rhetoric and misinformation dendoctrinement used on women's issues, highlighting the use of clever and not fortuitous figures incisors styles. The authors also offer us a remarkable exegesis of Christology, studying with finesse and intelligence iconic behavior of authentic faith and great holiness of many women of the Gospels. This important work is to become a reference book on the subject of women and Catholic church recognizes as the great theologian Joseph Moingt.
