In light of
Pope Francis’s comments about a “Theology of Women” this summer, Pia De Solenni
reflects on Blessed John Paul II’s theology of women and the impact it had on
the Church:
As
I progressed in my research, I realized just how visionary Pope John Paul II
had been. He wasn’t offering a Catholic version of a fascist salute to
motherhood. He was taking the concept of motherhood in a wholly different
direction. After all, by the time he was writing, the
developed world knew that women could match, and even surpass, men in most
things. Instead of answering a question that had long sought an answer by
defining women in terms of what men do, he focused on
who a woman is, a much more
elusive topic.
