Men should not see modern women’s call for more recognition of their identity, mission, abilities and responsibilities as a threat, Archbishop Paul Cremona said this morning.
He said that the necessary space should be left for women to take part in the decision making process.
Speaking on women in society during a seminar organised as part of activities to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatem, Mgr Cremona said women’s self-awareness should help men take a new look at how they viewed matters and themselves.
They should see where they placed themselves in a situation, how they interpreted it and how they organised their social, political, economic, religious and ecclesiastical life.
This new feminism should ignore the temptation to be just an imitation of man’s domination, Mgr Cremona said.
