No definitely not. I am not anti- Mary participating in Gods action, just as all creatures participate when “God moves first” as it were. I suppose you could say my critique is one of priority and definitions. Mary consented to Gods work. This was about Gods work and not about gender empowerment (squarely put but it will do for a comment thread I think). I think noting the priority there is so critical, especially bc of the cultural priority of these things.
"Women want the Levitical priesthood to the extent that they misunderstand that it is always already theirs, in metaphor." So good!
yes, the import of Mary's consent is pretty deep in the tradition. Do you think, say, Aquinas, is misguided here? Or Luther?
