The New Catholic Feminism: Theology, Gender Theory and by Tina Beattie

By Tina Beattie

it's tough to over-estimate the problem that feminism poses to Roman Catholicism. Pope John Paul II's demand a 'new feminism' has resulted in the improvement of a Catholic theological reaction to the so-called 'old feminism'. The New Catholic Feminism sets up a dramatic come upon among the orthodox Catholic institution and modern serious conception, together with feminist theology and philosophy, queer conception, and French psycholinguistics, with a view to discover basic questions about human identification, personhood and gender. From the bare our bodies of Eden to the 'gay nuptials' of liturgy, it argues that the unusual and risky global of Catholic sexual symbolism can't be 'tamed' to fulfill the ideological agendas of both feminist theology or conservative Catholicism. purely via an intensive re-examination of the sacramental value of the sexed human physique may possibly the Catholic Church supply a redemptive reaction to the sexual politics of up to date society.
