Unearthing the gender balance at the heart of our Catholic tradition | National Catholic Reporter by Sister Christine Schenk.  MGB: The woman mentioned in Solomon's court most likely wrote the Book of J (the base of the Torah).  No wonder the misogynists who later edited it portrayed all religious women as temple prostitutes.  On the Christian side, no one likes to approach the fact that it was Priscilla, not Peter, who was the first benefactor of Rome.  Peter came later.  If he had been first bishop, Paul would have mentioned him in Romans.
