A bit easier today to be educated and liberated. But it doesn't give women the respect they deserve. And as far as the Catholic church is concerned, women will never again gain a position of importance. The old celibate Roman men are much too afraid that another Hildegard of Bingen (or Joan of Arc) rise again to challenge them.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775039539331403794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-79354857275005582412012-03-29T05:17:46.328+02:002012-03-29T05:17:46.328+02:00i did a lot of reading on the Medieval World.

They also were given important role in the accounts and functioning of their husbands' emerging business. The prioress of large abbayes had an equal voice as a cardinal in Rome. Also in the decisions concerning the building of cathedrals. All this disappeared with the Renaissance and the Reformation. And women haven't yet (even with feminism) recovered the position of importance they had in the Middle Ages.<br /><br />They were not equal. Simply as important, and essential, as men.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775039539331403794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-40170414729885777242012-03-28T22:34:33.880+02:002012-03-28T22:34:33.880+02:00Bertus,
