The author appears to be addressing the emerging recognition of female leadership on all fronts and offers an observation about gender perceptions and how they are presented to the general public by various institutions. That he feels welcome to make his observations is high praise for the Ecumenical outreach of the Catholic Church. If we are truly confident in our traditions, a conversation about the topic could bear unexpected fruits for both sides. Protestant zeal can be very inspiring, and I welcome any opportunity to help enlighten their journey with the enormous gifts of the Spirit sustained in the Catholic Faith.
