Dignitas Omnium - The Dignity of All, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Dignitas Omnium - The Dignity of All: The Catholic Church emphasizes the inviolable dignity of every human being - and at the same time clings to structures that exclude women and diverse individuals. This book shows where special ecclesiastical rights conflict with universal human rights and asks how long such tension can be tolerated. How can the Catholic Church credibly speak of the equal dignity of all human beings as long as women and other people remain structurally excluded? From the roots of gender theory to the historical development of feminism to current debates on women's ordination, human rights, and church reforms, a reflective and at the same time constructive discussion unfolds. The voices of theologians, bishops, and grassroots movements engage in dialogue with the teachings of the Church. The result is a polyphonic analysis for a church that takes its message of liberating love seriously - and lives it out in its own structures. A contribution to the human rights issues of justice, equality, and the future of faith - including the equality of women in the office of pope and how women implement this.
