Discipleship and the Civilly Disobedient Jesus/ Raises Issue of a Discipleship of Equals and Speaking out for Justice for Women in the Church

"So the Synoptics make it clear that Jesus' final civil disobedience in the temple led to his arrest a few days later, his jailing, trial and brutal execution. This is a great challenge to anyone who seriously wants to follow this Jesus. Are we willing to give our lives to resist empire, injustice and the oppression of the poor? How seriously do we want to follow him?
But turns out there was one more final act of civil disobedience left to come: The Resurrection."

Bridget Mary's Response:
I agree but would add that Jesus was revolutionary in including women in his inner circle as disciples and equals. Social justice activists need to clearly name the injustices in their own house. I am grateful to priests like Roy Bourgeois who has put his priesthood on the line for justice for women in the church!
