A response to: Women Seen as Essential to Church

Before this article was written, I agreed with the essential role women play in the church. It is true we are not as visible all the time, but we are needed. Whether as wives, mothers, nuns, women who take care of priests, or another role, we are needed, and we must not forget that. We are Mary's and Martha's and daughters of the Mother of God. We are daughters of the Father, and we leave a legacy in the way we worship and believe. I am just glad to know that there is someone who believes this truth and promotes it, in the Catholic Church. Thank you.
