Not only is it revealing, entertaining, incredibly well researched and presented, and filled with interested and sad examples from history, but it is also incredibly angry. Whether on Original Sin, Marianism, masturbation, abortion, contraception, sex outside marriage, sex inside marriage, or sex in general, Ranke-Heinemann reveals the Catholic church to be morally wrong and almost invariably making it up rather than interpreting doctrine. I love an angry rant that is so well presented, so full of citation and explanations. By far the best book I've read in a while and absolutely recommended if you have the slightest interest in ethics or religious ethics, especially if you're trying to break from the celibate fantastists of Rome. ( ) This book is written by someone who is still part of the church, so, while she is extremely critical of almost all Catholic church teaching on women and sex, she does think Christianity itself is not the problem. I think folks still involved in Christian churches will find her arguments enlightening. Not sure how it will read to someone who has left or never belonged. My favorite line in the book is "Jesus was a friend to women, the first and practically the last friend women had in the Church." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"In this incisive analysis, Catholic theologian Uta Ranke-Heinemann daringly confronts her Church's manipulation of its ancient doctrine and willful ignorance of the modern world. Using sources ranging from the earliest Church fathers to recent popes, cardinals, and bishops, she examines evidence that the Church has denigrated women and their sexuality by its glorification of Mary's virginity; championed a perverse idea of celibacy by not allowing priests to marry; and damned birth control and unreproductive sex to the extent that, even today, Catholic AIDS patients are forbidden to use condoms. Both fascinating and horrifying in its revelations, but always illuminating, here is a work that needs to be read by anyone questioning the mores of organized religion today."
