    Thank you, Trenton, for your defense of women (particularly mothers), and for your appreciation of the situations in which we find ourselves.
    While I am not specifically feminist, I strongly believe in equality, and I feel that some people’s idea that God is male is extremely unhelpful in terms of the equal dignity of women and men within the Church. Any reference to God which uses masculine pronouns is inaccurate and (to some of us) offensive. I would love to see non-sexist language used by all clergy when referring to God.

      Happy Mother’s Day Marie-Louise! Thanks. On your second point, I think Jesus needs to take the heat for that one. Unless there more Divine Revelation, I think hands are tied on that one.

    Thank you Fr Trenton for this powerful, timely and hope-filled article. As you say, may our mothers and the women be faithful and fearless, because they reflect God and His love in the world in a truly unique way.
