Anthropological and Ecclesiological Dimensions of the Participation of Men and Women in the Church

This study aims to answer the question of the role of men and women in the Church. In recent decades, especially in the Christian press in Western Europe, the role of women has been particularly highlighted. Often there is no room for calm dialogue or reflection on this issue, because it is discussed exclusively in the context of negative interpretations, that women are not given a sufficient role in the Roman Catholic Church, that their role is marginalized in comparison with that of men. With this lecture, we want to bring some calm reflection around the topic by recalling the Church’s teaching on the relationship between men and women. In this presentation, we will explore the anthropological and ecclesiological dimensions of the involvement of men and women within the Church.
