A response to: Awaiting the Age of Mary
To limit the feminine genius to fertility is being very narrow. Women with children are fertile in many ways in the church and society. Women who choose to be infertile for the Kingdom of God likewise bear fruit. There are women who can’t have children. Many of them adopt. Some women choose not to have children, for reasons laudable and some not. A friend of mine is a carrier of a deadly gene. She has lost three children already at a tender age. She chooses not to continue this. The article seems to imply that women who don’t have children or limit their children all have abortion. That is not so.
