The manifest differences between the sexes have informed the Church’s vision on the roles of men and women in the liturgy for centuries, and they are now under attack not only from outside the Catholic Church but also within it, threatening the very order and coherence of civilization itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDr. Kwasniewski thoughtfully reflects on Scripture, Church teachings, and human nature to determine the proper callings of the laity and clergy as well as their diverse but integral modes of participation in the liturgy.

Each author brings distinct facts, observations, and arguments to the conversation.

Yet the voice that speaks to us from these pages is rich in personality, deftly trained in logic, rhetoric, theology, and history. His thesis is clear, his argument compelling: the Christian faith is rooted in a changeless deposit of faith revealed by God, entrusted to the Apostles and their successors, and, accordingly, incompatible with novelty; progress consists only of a deeper understanding and expression of what remains in itself the same, so that no future formulation can ever contradict what has already been understood and expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the centuries, Vincent’s Canon—“In the Catholic Church, every care should be taken to hold fast to what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all”—has resounded as a battle cry for defenders of dogmatic tradition; indeed, it served as inspiration and catalyst for John Henry Newman’s \u003cem\u003eEssay on the Development of Christian Doctrine\u003c\/em\u003e.

This condescending love was believed to find its most sublime expression in the Old Testament’s Song of Songs, which sings in strange, earthly tones of the transcendent, pursuing love of YHWH for His beloved and the returning devotion it was to elicit in her. For the Christian reader, this ardour, hymned in sensuous language, evokes no mortal, transient passion but an unconditional divine love fulfilled, historically and sacramentally, in Jesus Christ, the One “in whom the love of God was made manifest” (1 Jn. 4:9). This is a \u003cem\u003elove made flesh\u003c\/em\u003e, encountered in the pierced heart and broken body of the Messiah who “loved me and gave Himself up for me” (Gal. 2:20).
