“Nothing half-hearted for me – I will follow Christ with all my heart and soul.”              

            ~St. Therese of Lisieux

For Reflection:

Can I make this same claim? Where might I prove to be “half-hearted” following Christ?

INTRODUCTION

Within the last twenty years a number of theologians who support the Church's teaching on the all-male priesthood have written on the role of women in the Church, namely, Henri De Lubac, Louis Bouyer, E.L. Mascall, Han Urs von Balthasar, Manfred Hauke, and Donald Keefe, S.J. Pope John Paul II's Mulieris Dignitatem is a significant contribution on the topic. Many of these writers were prompted to make an explicit response to the feminist challenge facing the Church.
