Gender Inequality Church Teaching

Church Teaching

Men and women have been created, which is to say, willed by God: in perfect equality as human persons; and in their respective beings as men and women.  Being a man or woman is a reality which is good: men and women possess an inalienable dignity which comes to them immediately from God. Men and women have one and the same dignity “in the image of God” and reflect the Creator’s wisdom and goodness.

Catechism of the Catholic Church


Women have much to tell us…Women are capable of seeing things in a different angle. Women can pose questions that we men cannot understand.

Pope Francis
