...Church in the U.S. has yet produced. And there is nothing very radical about their background. They grew up in Syracuse, the sons of a tough Irish railroad worker; their mother a gentle devout Catholic, was known as a soft touch for every passing hobo.

Her book accuses Christianity of contradicting its moral teachings by harboring "oppressive, misogynistic ideas" about women. The roots of such prejudice, contends Dr. Daly, lie in the Old Testament. Eve in Genesis is pictured as created from Adam...
