From Future Church:

We are beginning to see the first fruits of all the long labors of Catholic women throughout the decades including people like Sr. Mary Luke Tobin SL and Rosemary Goldie, who were auditors at the Second Vatican Council. Since that time thousands of women have stood up in the face of patriarchal standards that have kept women out of governing and ministerial offices and off the altar. There is no way to name all the women on whose shoulders we stand, but we can join together in this moment to thank God for them all. Since this is a historic year for Catholic women in the church, I wanted to compile as complete a list as possible of every article, interview, or podcast that has been produced thus far (if you know of others and you want me to add them, please let me know at debrose@futurechurch.org). Some of the articles are from the conservative outlet, National Catholic Register which I wanted to include so that you could see how the synod is being framed from the critic's side. Most are from media outlets that support equalizing the roles of women, women's ordination, and others efforts to bring women's full equality to our Catholic history of misogyny and patriarchy. I hope you find these articles as rich and informative as much as I did.
