Cut the Clichés, See the Real Picture - "Ditch the slogans about race and sex, concentrate on Catholic truth, and join the great task of evangelization for this 21st century -- that is the way forward already adopted by the JPII-generation of younger Catholics." - by Joanna Bogle Pentecost Season 2004 -Vol. XIX: No. 2

Our Forgotten Heroines - It is fashionable today to talk about the role of women in the Church. The American Bishops' Conference has just commissioned yet another document on the subject, following "Strengthening the Bonds of Peace" (1994) "Called and Gifted for the Third Millennium" (1995) and "From Words to Deeds" (1998). Almost certainly the new document, like those that have gone before, will be subjected to enormous pressure from the feminist lobby, which will result in much convoluted language, and the steering of a muddled course through a great deal of jargon which manages to say -- while not actively attacking the Church or challenging her teachings -- remarkably little that really honors or upholds them.

What does the Catholic Church actually teach about women and their role in the Church and Society? How does the Church behave towards women? This booklet takes up all the issues one by one: teaching on sexuality, women's freedom, abortion, the right to chose, contraception, women and marriage, women priests, women's power in the Church. It looks at whether women are discriminated against and at their treatment by the Church historically. All is answered in a clear and balanced explanation, against a backdrop of history and of debunking myth, prejudice and poor argument. This is certainly a booklet to be read by both men and women.
