The notion that women are just like men (smaller and angrier men, on average, but otherwise interchangeable), and need to do everything that men do in order to be properly valued, is simply misogyny in sheep's clothing but I do not think the world will recognize that anytime soon.
Thanks to the Pillar for getting in front of this before it can grow like topsy into something it's not.
"But the pope condemned a “reductionism [that] would lead us to believe that women would be granted a greater status and participation in the Church only if they were admitted to Holy Orders.”"
To date there's not really any female Christian roles that stand out like the wives, judges and prophetesses of the OT whose practical participation in the Church, seriously informed it's development.
based bishop? this doesn't surprise me as after reading some Pillar reporting on Bishop Chow, I went to the YouTube channel that broadcasts the Masses he celebrates in his cathedral. the impression I got is that he's not very concerned with sticking to liturgical texts, and in my experience that often coincides with thinking that aspects of the deposit of faith are malleable.
maybe worth giving the Chinese portion of his homily a translate as well, he could have said more on the subject
Fascinating. I don't know what to make of this, but the first female presbyter in the Anglican Communion was, I think, ordained in Hong Kong. Is there something in the water?
I would appreciate a Pillar longread about the degradation of the Society of Jesus. When I see a conspiracy theory that includes the Jesuits at the top of the global cabal pyramid, using seed oils to turn bible believing Baptists into Catholics, I can only shake my head. "If only, my friend, if only."
Seriously, we'll pray for Bishop Chow and the dangerous, perhaps impossible position he has found himself in, his opinions about female ordinations aside.

Can we have a heart button for coverage and a thumbs down for what was communicated?
