Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical Review, Vol. 59: A Monthly Publication for the Clergy In an article recently published in the Catholic World I showed the mythical character of the story widely circulated to-day that the Second Council of Macon seriously debated the question whether woman had a human soul. In that council a single bishop, apparently on grammatical grounds, ventured the statement that a woman could not be called a man. It provoked, not discussion, but immediate refutation, for all present took him to task, and by arguments drawn from Scripture convinced him of his error. The objection of a single member was thus quickly and happily set at rest. That the council denied or reluctantly conceded to woman a human soul is pure myth. There is not a shred of historical evidence to support it. It is not alone the Fathers of the Macon Council who have been wrongly accused of questioning the human personality of woman. Writers are not wanting who have made bold to assert that in times past, at least in Gaul, leaders of the Catholic Church did not hesitate to challenge the right of woman to claim with man the possession of a human soul. Thus Aime-Martin, writing for the enlightenment of the women of France, declared: "In times gone by, yet not so very remote, grave doctors denied them [women] a soul. . . They go so far as to doubt the existence of woman´s soul, and the theologians themselves, in their confusion of mind, seem for the moment to forget that Jesus Christ derived His humanity from His mother."
