| Summary: | Richard Lennan's Tilling the Church treats ecclesial conflict, the possibility of change, and the tensions involved. He acknowledges the resistance to development within the Church's structures. This resistance helps to explain the church's distrust of women, which frustrates many Catholics. Cornell philosopher Kate Manne puts resistance to change in context by describing the social expectations of women, by showing that those who resist change feel entitled to do so, and by revealing how victimization is legitimated. "Tilling the church" is an apt metaphor for transformation that does not sufficiently appreciate socially-mediated systems of privilege and vulnerability. |
