  • Ironically, it is the Catholic tradition that today proclaims so forcefully the epistemological privilege of the poor. In the many senses in which the gospel speaks of the poor -- materially deprived, disempowered, marginated, overburdened, helpless -- women often have been the poorest of all. Their experiences and perspectives, therefore, have a special claim on our attention. Women’s experience will be the hermeneutic of the future. Solomon’s wisdom is worth remembering: let those who are most intimately affected by the consequences of a decision make that decision.

    Dear Pope Benedict, I've just read your 1989 paper reprinted in Communio in the review's featured, "Retrieving the Tradition." In "Difficulties Confronting the Faith in Europe Today" you explain your future papacy's resistance to change on the "interlinked" issues of contraception, homosexuality, divorce and women's ordination.  At the end of your analysis you make a plea for more theological development of the doctrine of creation.????????
