Women supressed in the Church? Um…

An infamous little book recently claimed that the Church has been supressing women’s roles from the beginning. As I completed reading St. Paul’s epistle to the Romans, I was astonished to find an entire list of Roman leaders at its end (see ad Romanos 16), about half of them women. Hard to supress such a multitude, I would say.

Let’s see: Priscilla, Aquila, Mary, Tryphaena, Tryphosa, Julia, sister of Nereus.
