text: I agree that these things you refer to belong to "large-T Tradition." But closely associated developments of the scriptural data, which also become part of the Deposit of Faith etc., can have a sexist, patriarchalist look. And perhaps this is true esp. of the RCC, who tend to suppress references to the Second Person of the Trinity with feminine-gender terms, in spite of the biblical antecedent of the Logos, appearing uniquely in the prologue to John's gospel (added probably in the second edition), in OT Wisdom, fem.-gender Hochmah, and in Greek Sophía; even Paul refers to Jesus as the "wisdom of God" (1 Cor.), and one of the greatest churches in Christendom, Hagía Sophía, is at heart dedicated to Jesus. Then the Magisterium encloses and confines the Holy Spirit, who is neuter in Greek and feminine in Hebrew, by demanding she be referred to with masculine words--because of Latin "spiritus"?, or some curious application of Trinitarian theology?
