It is hard to over-estimate the challenge that feminism poses to
Roman Catholicism. Pope John Paul II's call for a 'new feminism'
has led to the development of a Catholic theological response to
the so-called 'old feminism'. The New Catholic Feminism sets up a
dramatic encounter between the orthodox Catholic establishment and
contemporary critical theory, including feminist theology and
philosophy, queer theory, and French psycholinguistics, in order to
explore fundamental questions about human identity, personhood and
gender. From the naked bodies of Eden to the 'gay nuptials' of
liturgy, it argues that the strange and volatile world of Catholic
sexual symbolism cannot be 'tamed' to meet the ideological agendas
of either feminist theology or conservative Catholicism. Only
through a radical re-evaluation of the sacramental significance of
the sexed human body might the Catholic Church provide a redemptive
response to the sexual politics of contemporary society.
