The Theology of the Body, by explaining that there is no sacramentally significant difference between masculine human incarnations and feminine human incarnations, which are perfectly homogeneous "in their whole being" (TOB 8:4), enables us to SEE that religious patriarchy is an OBSOLETE gender ideology.  This has nothing to do with machismo, or feminism, or any other "ism."  It is simply a matter of SEEING the integral reality of human nature as revealed in Genessi 1 and 2.  For the redemption, and the sacramental economy under the New Law, the masculine incarnation of the divine Word is as incidental as the color of his eyes.  Lamentably, the patriarchal hierarchy of the church, heritage from the Old Law, keeps making it practically invisible the "feminine genius" incarnated in Jesus of Nazareth, which is a grace obstacle to integral human development.  Why should married "viri probati" be ordained, when there are thousands of "femini probati" willing to serve, is beyond me. Prayers!
