The conflict between my "feminist" and Catholic beliefs reached an all-time high, so I got some books about the Church and women out of the library. One of them is called "The Women Around Jesus" and it focuses on various women in the Bible and their role in Jesus's ministry, which appears to be a lot more important than conventional theology makes it out to be.

What strikes me the most is that these women were all so different--some in background, some in temperment, some in both--but they all still found and became themselves in Jesus. In apostleship and discipleship, they were empowered beyond any earthly means of empowerment. Once they accepted Jesus and found their niche in the Church--some of them preached, some evangelized, some ministered to the sick, some baptized, some were even believed to kill dragons--they were completely confident and at peace with themselves, free to be who they were.

I guess in that context then, feminism and Christianity have a lot more in common then they appear to.
