Incarnation and maleness?

Typical. I didn't understand Greg's question! Well, he says. Anyway, at least he can focus in on it now.

He writes at HMS: "the incarnation raised God's relationship with humanity to a more intimate level for all time. I am asking, did God's coming as man raise his relationship to men to a more intimate level for all time? And if so, what is the significance of that intimacy and how does this intimacy not cause women to 'lose out' on something?"

There are some limits to this sort of direction: when we think about the change in status to humanity caused by the Incarnation and the Pasch, we have some Scriptural markers like St. Paul's "neither male nor female", and the theme that we are all "sons of God"; the NT doesn't call the men "sons" and the women "daughters".

So I think he's getting into some speculative territory.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
