Hello Father, What are your views on gender equality? My cousins think that since Adam was created first and that since Jesus was a man, males are the superior gender. What do you think? Thank you :)

Hello,

Some men can act uncivilized. They can be aggressive, selfish, stingy, and very difficult to communicate with. On the good side, they are capable of great courage, sacrifice, and providing for the needs of their loved ones.

Women by nature are giving, open, receptive, flexible, loving, nurturing, perceptive, and ordered to generosity and the building of the family and community.

Some women, unfortunately, can be mean and cruel, especially if they take their cue on how to act by watching men. Women who imitate the harsher side of men can lose the genius and finer qualities of their gender.

Thus, men and women are very different, but complement each other, and complete each other as partners, most especially in the state of marriage, where their complementarity leads to the procreation of children.

God bless and take care! Fr. Angel
