“In our times the question of ‘women’s rights’ has taken on new significance in the broad context of the rights of the human person…In the name of liberation from male ‘domination,’ women must not appropriate to themselves male characteristics contrary to their own feminine ‘originality.’ There is a well-founded fear that if they take this path, women will not ‘reach fulfillment,’ but instead will deform and lose what constitutes their essential richness. It is indeed an enormous richness.” [b]~ St. Pope John Paul II[/b] in [i]Mulieris Dignitatem[/i] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/1B9Ak7J[/c] , quoted by [b]Megan[/b], a teenage correspondent @ [i][b]Buried Treasures of Christendom[/b][/i], in [i]“Authentic Femininity in a Feminist Culture” [/i][c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/2f4J0XV[/c]
@KarenFromAround Instead of doing a tired ad hominem -- why don't you comment substantively?
Besides, is there some reason the pope is categorically disqualified from offering opinions and observations about femininity? Is it because he had never gotten down and done dirty?
@beckychandler Its not an ad hominem attack, I made no personal attacks on him. I just don't feel the need to take advice from a man who runs the largest religion that has put down women during its entire history.
That quote also sounds like he is saying "Women shouldn't try and be equal, they should just stay in there biblical place" Umm. No Thanks.
