Despite her eccentricities she was, IMO, a ground breaking theological intellect of the first order. <br /><br />However, the passionate scholar became a resentful scholar. As her seminal works became the basis for others work, she never added insightful enhancements to keep pace with the evolution of a new way of think of women in the Roman Church. Bitterness clouds good judgment.<br /><br />In Mary Daly's case, it was both regretful for her as a person, and for the world of theological scholarship. <br /><br />Rev2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/01281356663026183624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876502085465766394.post-10827622384067171102010-01-24T09:50:34.511-06:002010-01-24T09:50:34.511-06:00this is really interesting I'd not heard of he...this is really interesting I'd not heard of her before . It is not true however that just the big modern reliogions have oppresseive history . ones religion also has nothing to do with why people are abuysive or controlling etc. yes people hide and use religion as an excuse . People make the assumption all the time . many pagan religions were oppressive to women the roman pagan culture is one example . Not all aboriginal peoples were and are pagan either . Some indigenous groups were very strict with women and thier roles . Some women wore chastity belts while other tribes women were leaders etc. Hindus do not consider themselves pagan .etc. people so easily try and put us in boxes and it is so easy to stereotype etc. <br /> I so would love to have the chance to be a priest if I wanted or my daughters too . I always think what if Mother Teresa was called to be pope ? she was stopped just because of human stupidity , opinion & ideals . Who knows if she would've been called to be pope or not but that she'd not been given the opportunity is just crazy insanity I think. <br /> anyway ,nice blog . thanks for the articleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
