Jesus said of the woman who anointed him with oil that wherever the gospel was preached her deed would be remembered “in memory of her.” So it was. We remember her deed and even the names of the men who reproved her. But not her name. Given the erasure of women from the gospels

Pope Francis has such an easy going manner about him, but this was a direct and brutal answer that crushed the hope of anyone with any dreams of a female diaconate in the Church [Thread]

...how can we trust that we have followed Jesus’ intentions with respect to women’s roles? For centuries Mary Magdalene was labeled a prostitute, due to the error of Pope St Gregory the Great. Now she is deemed “Apostle to the Apostles.” Come Holy Spirit!

It's time. The mistreatment of women was the reason I left the Church in my youth. As a child, I wanted to be a priest, but no girls are allowed--and despite all the rhetoric to the contrary, women's status as second class citizens within the Church remains all too obvious.
