Should we tell the Vatican our little secret about God?

Religion is all about God; it is all about “revealed knowledge”; but and the BIG fact remains – why should the notion of a God that is good, as it is in the Biblical context, be so rabidly misogynous?

 

Now, we can all agree that the Catholic Church will not change its stance of what the Bible is; and the harrowing truth is that the Bible also affects and determines how societies and cultures behave. The Catholic Church will not allow any variants. And so, do we have to wait till the Catholic church becomes a minority religion and subsequently, a relic institution – lost to the world? Instead, we can argue, once the Bible is rewritten to erase the misogynous parts out, then there will be other variants of Christianity that will rise up, use the revised Bible and the same motifs and stories of the Bible.

 

Unless, of course, the Vatican is willing to listen; but then – one can argue – who really cares about an institution that seems to have lost its purpose? Why else would it not have signed CEDAW ( The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW); it was adopted in 1979 by the UN General Assembly, and can be seen as an international bill of rights for women.
