"When
I became a Catholic in 1984, John Paul II had already been
pope for several years. I knew the Church to be solid in her
understanding
of human sexuality and unchanging in her moral teachings, which
I had found irresistible, but I had yet to understand how the
faith was meant to personally guide my life. Thus I immediately
set out
to find what she taught about the particular vocation of women.
Little did I know that this inquiry would lead me to the most
amazing discovery of all: that the very Church I had entered
was the paradigm
for my own life and the life of every woman.
It is the combination of this reality—the nuptial reality
of Church as Bride—combined with the rich and energetic
theology of the John Paul II that has opened wide the doors
to all women, that they might find their value, their essence,
and
their authentic dignity."
