Thankyou for this superb article about Fr Orobater.  I had the opportunity to hear him speak at a Theology Conference in Chicago a few years ago, and more recently when he spoke at a Woman's Conference in Rome.  I seem to remember him saying that he has 22 siblings, since his father had many wives.  It is so refreshing that he has a wholistic view of life, which he got from his deeply African culture.  I hope the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church are listening.  It is really difficult for those indoctrinated with the Adam and Eve story, where woman is an accessory to a man from the beginning, to unlearn that myth and see the wholeness of God's Redemptive Plan, by accepting the more likely scenario as also found in the Book of Genesis, where God created woman and man at the same time and as EQUALS IN GOD'S IMAGE!  God's Plan has been frustrated from the beginning, probably partly because of cultural issues, in my view.
