CATHOLIC WOMEN

From Philosopedia

CATHOLIC WOMEN In The Recovering Catholic: Personal Journeys of Women Who Left the Church (1995), Joanne H. Meehl writes about women of many walks of life who have rejected the Roman Catholic faith. The denigration of females by the male clergy, abortion, contraception, and the role of women in the Church are discussed. Meehl speaks of the “Great Goddess” matriarchal culture, leading R. E. Wolke and others to wonder why she would wish to replace the illogic of one religion for another. {The American Rationalist, September-October 1995}
