Further examination of the views of St. Ausstine and Thomas Aquinas as well as other philosophers who examined the place women occupy in Christian theology. show how these views developed through the early Christian period and the Middle Ages. The relevance of these seemingly remote personages to modem gender questions is demonstrated. While this historical investigation sheds light on the continuing conflict between the Catholic church and contemporary feminists, the more complex questions which this thesis raises cannot be answered strictly in the context of philosophy, but require additional research in theology, psychology, and sociology.

Some open the debate from a feminist background, and these writers often take the position that the Church is an oqanizarion which is inherently hostile to women. This perspective sees the Church view of women as incompatible with the role of women in modern society.1 Others see the Church as an empowering tool for women. giving them a well defined role in keeping with both nature and Biblical tradition.? The difficulty with both of these approaches is that they address the issue solely from a modem standpoint, without regard for the complex theological and philosophical history which precedes contemporary religon. However, many attempts to analyse the historical background of the Church's position on women are subject to the same inherent prejudices. The two most common interpretations of the impact that the introduction of Christianity into the Greco-Roman world had upon women are examples of this. The first is that Christianity was deeply appealing to pagan women. for within the Christian sub- culture. women held a much higher status than dd women throughout the Greco- Roman world. Women were recobpized by Christianity as equal to men, children of God with the same supernanrnl destiny; moreover. the Christian prohibition of poly~my,divorce. birth control. abortion and infanticide contributed to the well- 1 Cf. e.g.. Virginia Curran Hoffman, Lhe Codependent Chztrch. Crossroad. Xew York. 199 1. Hoffman argues that the Church has purposely placed itself in a position superior to that of the laity. both male and especially female. but that this can be remedied by something Like a 12 step reclamation pro-m. Whether this would be successful is a moot point in this context. although a reorganization such as she advocates would surely change the Catholic Church beyond recognition- 2 This view can be seen in the staunch position the Church continues to take against the ordination of women. as well as in the increasing popularity of pupssuch as the Promise Keepers, being of women substantially, securing them dignity and rights within both Church and state. One effect of this higher status was to increase the number of Christian women, which in turn led to a superior fertility rate for Christians, another factor in the growth of the faith.3 Another interpretation of this same data points to women's loss of control over reproduction as the cause of the 'superior fertility rate' of Christians. This explanation points to women's loss of economic freedom as Christianity became widespread. and the curtailment of their rights to personal communication as sips that Christianity was detrimental to the position of women.4 Historically these statements are accurate, however as we have just seen, they can be used to support widely varying pneral historical theories. The feminist viewpoint has suggsred that the misogyny of the Church was an almost premeditated scheme, and we are given such characterizations as Augustine as "the man who fused Christianity together wtth hatred of sex and pleasure into a systematic unity.": the Thornistic period as the point at which "Christian theology of marriage reached its nadir, setting the stage for the demonization of sex.": and of Jesus as "the tint and practically the last friend women had in the Church."S The optimistic interpretation places women in an inferior position with respect to both their personal and sexual status. which at first dance does not seem in keepmg wth the Chnsnan ideal ot love tor all. However. the temnist C perspective can leave us with the impression that *"menhave always enjoyed putting women in their 'place'.*'6 which is a strong statement regarding male psychology, but not one which is helpful in understanding historical facts. These generalizations seem to me to be too broad based on the 3 From John .McCIoskey's review of The Rise of Christianitv: A SocioloPist Reconsiders History, by Rodney Stark. Princeton University Press. 1996. which appeared in Crisis, June, 1997. 4 Canon 8 1 of the Synod of Elvira forbade women from writing and receiving letters in their own names, Ranke-Heinemann. 130. 5 The misozgnist conspiracy theory to which I refer is that which Uta Ranke-Heinemann puts forth in E~mrichsfur the Kingdom of Heaven. 75 - 153. 6 Phipps, 1989. 77. 3 evidence given in their support, as does the conclusion that Christianity was overall an advantageous development in women's history. The position that the Church has been a positive influence on women is, naturally, taken mainly by supporters of the Church. Examples of this ostensibly historical approach are the variety of attempts now being made to show that the misogynisrn of the Church. and of the Fathers in particular. is not really a reflection of personal views of women, but nther of the times in which they lived. Regarding Augustine, it has been said that "this was a time when the social subordination of women to men was taken for granted by everybody, by women as well as men. So ... there is not much point in combing his works. either to prove this obvious point. or to make a futile effort to disprove it.? Th~smay be a cogent assessment of the milieu of the early Church, however the force behind feminist critiques of Augustine are not meant to apply to the third century. but nther to our own, in which the relative social positions of men and women are not taken for _mted by everyone. and yet in which the writings of Augustine continue to influence sexual theology. X similar modem apology might be made for Aquinas. one which would find a similar response. While it is important to attempt to understand these two. as well as other thinkers, witlun rt hstoricd context. we also need to examine their enduring ideas. which have impacted both their own times and the modem world These radically different perspectives come from writers who approach the issue with their minds already fixed on their conclusions. An unbiased examination of the facts. showing what the views of the Christian church with regard to women were. and what effect these actually had on the position of women in society, reveals.

  • Mary Versus Eve: Paternal Uncertainty and the Christian View of Women
    Mary Versus Eve: Paternal Uncertainty and the Christian View of Women Vladimir Tumanov Neophilologus An International Journal of Modern and Mediaeval Language and Literature ISSN 0028-2677 Volume 95 Number 4 Neophilologus (2011) 95:507-521 DOI 10.1007/s11061-011-9253-5 1 23 Mary Versus Eve Vladimir Tumanov Neophilologus (2011) 95: 507-521 2 Mary Versus Eve: Paternal Uncertainty and the Christian View of Women1 By Vladimir Tumanov Western University Abstract The Virgin Mary and Eve constitute two opposite sexual poles in the way Christian discourse has approached women since the time of the church fathers. This stems from a predicament faced by the human male throughout hominid evolution, namely, paternal uncertainty. Because the male is potentially always at risk of unwittingly raising the offspring of another male, two (often complementary) male sexual strategies have evolved to counter this genetic threat: mate guarding and promiscuity. The Virgin Mary is the mythological expression of the mate guarding strategy. Mary is an eternal virgin, symbolically allaying all fear of paternal uncertainty. Mary makes it possible for the male psyche to have its reproductive cake and eat it too: she gives birth (so reproduction takes place) and yet requires no mate guarding effort or jealousy. Eve, the inventor of female sexuality, is repeatedly viewed by the church fathers, e.g., Augustine and Origen, as Mary's opposite. Thus, Eve becomes the embodiment of the whore: both attractive in the context of the promiscuity strategy and repulsive in terms of paternal uncertainty: "Death by Eve, life by Mary" (St. Jerome). The Mary-Eve dichotomy has given a conceptual basis to what is known in psychology as the Madonna-Whore dichotomy: the tendency to categorize women in terms of two polar opposites.

    INSPIRING STORIES OF CATHOLIC SAINTS FOR MARRIED COUPLES AGAPÈ BOOK 1 SAINTS FOR CatholicMinistries FAMILIES TODAY BOOKS SERIES DEDICATED TO BUILDING STRONG CHRIST CENTERED FAMILIES After 15 years of teaching Catholic Marriage Preparation courses to engaged couples and offering married enrichment programs, I can say with certainty that as Catholic married couples, we need saintly role models. To see the witness of how other couples have lived their vocation to marriage with holiness and true faith in God, inspires us to do the same. This short book is the first in a series which presents the stories of saints who can inspire us to follow Christ more closely on our path and vocation in life. Some saints did not share the same faith with their spouses and other saints not only shared the faith, but lived it to the fullest. Some were martyrs and others lived the daily martyrdom of ordinary life. Some of the saints had many children and other had none. Each of these couples or married saints comes with a specific God given gift, or virtue, to share with all of us. We hope these stories lift your spirits, inspire you to love God more and have a happier and holier marriages.
