  • Is the author of the book a traditional Catholic? It does not seem to say exactly which "sacred places" the women were not allowed to enter. I know St. Therese also said something that maybe certain feminists would use to justify "women priests," but the context of the saint's statement would have been if she were born a man. I am not hasty then to assume that the author refers to the sanctuary itself where Mass is celebrated. As for "right-minded feminism," I would say that there could be such thing as that insofar as supporting and embracing the true nature of women, but we have to be careful if we were to use such a term. We usually think feminism to mean something evil or opposed to the true nature of women. I also know that we could use the word "liberal" when we describe generosity, but it is different when use the word to describe someone who embraces liberalism, which is opposed to the Catholic faith.

  • Is there such a thing as right minded feminism? No kidding, I'm honestly asking.

    I think there is a big difference between responsiblity and equality.... in speaking of women.

  • There is a strange phenomena in the Novus Ordo programs such as those of EWTN or Catholic Radio where they try to give the word Feminist/feminism a new meaning other than that found in let's say Webster's. They say there is wrong-minded feminism and then there is feminism such as that displayed by the Blessed Virgin. It really does fuzz things up because of course Mary was not a feminist they should just keep to the fact that feminism describes equality in all things with men and that is wrong. Instead we should be feminine like the Blessed Virgin.
    It comes from trying to blend in with the world and of course we should never do that as Catholics.
