Summary: | God's presence gets eclipsed when religions that originated to mediate the divine become imperialistic, patriarchal, and politicized. The Church is not immune to this corruption that has become widespread in religious spaces. The scandals associated with the eruption of clergy sexual abuse has led to the distortion of divine presence to a great extent within the ecclesiastical framework. In this context, feminist theology proposes rediscovering the divine as the Syn-hodal God, who accompanies the afflicted in an incarnate way as modeled by Jesus-Sophia. The Church is called to continue this prophetic and liberative mission of Christ. |
