Mixed Messages

Even though Emily Reimer-Barry says that the Church sends negative messages there are some positive ones too. Such as that a women's body is scared and should be treated with respect and that the education of women is important, hence all catholic girls schools. At the Mount  have been taught that women should be strong and independent and that we are intelligent. To be a women means that you are a leader and you respect yourself and others. All though all the positive messages are true I agree with Emily Reimer-Barry when she says there are mixed messages as well. She says, "But women are more than mothers, and some women are not mothers at all. We need to find a language that is empowering and constructive for all women" which is true. The church puts women in a box of virgins or mothers and their is little else left. If the Church could change some of its language the problem could solve itself.
