Resumen
En el imaginario social y religioso, el estatus de las mujeres se ha mantenido devaluado a lo largo de la historia. El cristianismo no ha resultado inmune a ello. El Concilio Vaticano II afina que “en Cristo y en la Iglesia no existe desigualdad alguna en razón de estirpe o nacimiento, condición social o sexo” (LG 32). En ese espíritu, el papa Francisco se ha expresado reiteradas veces de modo categórico en favor de las mujeres, denunciando las injusticias provenientes de visiones antropológicas reductivas. En fidelidad con su pensamiento, ha realizado gestos concretos nombrando a mujeres en puestos decisivos en la curia romana. Un punto de partida que las mujeres celebramos. No obstante, sigue viva la llama esperanzadora de una meta por alcanzar. Desencializar la idea mujer entendida como “naturaleza femenina”, incorporar la categoría género como instrumento intelectual y confiar en la capacidad de las mujeres en su diversidad de dones, servicio generoso, honestidad, fidelidad al Evangelio y empoderamiento.
In the social and religious imaginary, women’s status has been devalued throughout history. Therefore, Christianity has not been immune to this, either. The Vatican Council II claims that “in Christ and in the Church, there is no inequality regarding lineage, birth, social status or sex” (LG 32). In this spirit, the Pope Francisco has expressed in a categorical way in favour of women, reporting the injustices coming from anthropological reductive visions. Being faithful to this thought, he has had concrete gestures appointing women to key posts in the Roman Curia. This is a starting point that we all women celebrate. However, all this continues to be a goal yet to be achieved. Changing the idea of woman as a “feminine nature”, incorporating the category gender as an intellectual instrument and trust in women’s ability in their diversity of gifts, generous service, honesty, fidelity to the Gospel and empowerment.
