GENDER & SOCIETY
MULIERIS DIGNITATEM
-
MOTHERHOOD:
-
-
Not just husband & wife giving each other but her readiness to conceive, her ability to bear life.
Woman can have kids, men cannot.
More to women than bio-physiology, there's a spiritual side to offer gift of life & men should be aware that 'he owes a special debt'.
Triune relationship in partnerhood- mother, father & child.
GOD BEARER- THEOTOKOS: Mary played a central part in salvation. Incarnation dependant on J being born of human mother. She became united w/ God & part of his divine plan. To be mother of God only possible for females. SHe's role model for men & woman- symbolises ultimate human relationship w/ God. She's an 'archetype'- rep of what humanity can become.
IMAGE & LIKENESS OF GOD Interprets Genesis story- Eve's creation out of Adam is emphasising her suitability to be companion to man, none of animals were.
Men & women: 'as a unity of the two', intended to belong together. Eve's status as 'helper' is reciprocal, Adam helps Eve as well.
JESUS: his treatment of women. Women mentioned in Bible, e.g. Mary M, & sinful woman who anointed Jesus. Men & women open to salvation.

Reason for husbands duty is because woman is like Church, bride of Christ.

'Because Adam was, in this sense, Eve's parent, he has a headship over her'.
Does this mean: authority over wife OR 'source of life' ref to Genesis 2:21- emphasises relationship rather than power.

3 WAVES
2nd: TACKLING PARTIARCHY
-
SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR: women suffered from false consciousness- accepting a passive role as wife, lover, homemaker etc & their own mindset needed to change. Woman need to abandon the idealised eternal woman men imposed on them & be the woman they choose.

FEMINSIM
Challenges patriarchal gender paradigm that associates males w/ man characteristics defined as superior & dominant & females w/ inferior ones.
DIFF TYPES OF FAMILY: e.g. same sex couples, 2 parents & child, single parents, husband & wife w/ kids from previous partners etc.
WOMAN PRIESTHOOD: Roman C's believe against them, because scripture points to Christ choosing His Apostles only from men. Practise of Church- Christ only chose men. Exclusion of women- in God's plan for his Church.
