THEY MODELED THE PERFECT WOMAN AFTER THE MOTHER OF JESUS.

One of the Greatest Saints, Teresa of Avila (1535), the first female Doctor of the Church was a woman holding the balance. She was told by her confessor to not pray. The priest told her that her thoughts were of the Devil. Imagine what she had to endure to keep her interior balance. It is time to go deeper into gender discussions and change by looking at the roots of this bias against women. We have been directed and influenced by a male-dominated society for too long.

There is nothing incorrect or demonic about elevating women as creatures loved by God, cherished by Jesus, and filled with female wisdom. Most women know all too well how we are sinners. We are the flowing-haired temptress, disobedient, witches, and seductive force that men cannot resist dominating. We have been told to know our place.
Mary Magdalene and other Women are holding the balance.
