If by preaching he means "mansplaining," then of course women are manifestly unqualified. We don't need preachers who say "Does my collar make it seem that when you are listening to me you are hearing the voice of God?"
Women can’t preach because we need the truth when you’re listening to what matters for eternal salvation. We don’t need you to say “does my dress make me look fat”

Pope Francis calls the Beatitudes a Christian's "identity card." They are a portrait in miniature of Jesus himself, and the saints offer examples of what that means--going against the flow of a culture that prizes Greatness, Power, Status, and the logic of the market.

Drawing on examples from Dorothy Day and St. Francis, to Oskar Schindler, Etty Hillesum, Oscar Romero and Sr. Dorothy Stang--I try to show how the Beatitudes call us to a new way, a different world, animated by different values, different priorities, different dreams.

Each of these beatitudes--under certain circumstances--can lead to persecution. But if the Gospel asks us to relinquish some of the prizes and rewards of this world, the Beatitudes also point toward an alternative reward: Mercy, Comfort, the Kingdom of Heaven.
