Being women today: Iranian Muslim and Italian Catholic perspectives.

A delegation of Iranian Muslims has compared their experience of being women with that of Italian Catholics. On February 18th, Catholic Action and the Italian Women Theologians Coordination hosted the discussion with a visiting Muslim theologian and a government official. Their dialogue with Catholic theologians was requested by the Iranian Embassy to the Holy See.

“They insisted very much on the idea that the Italian group of women were Catholics because ... they told us that we could find some points in common, especially about the moral values.”

“The first goal is this dialogue, knowing each other and respecting each other, which is not a secondary point. But also listening to each other, because sometimes we also have this stereotyped idea that whatever comes from Iran is radical or fundamentalist.”

Theologian Fariba Allasvand explained, “Our belief is that women have several dimensions. ... A woman can be first a good wife, a loving mother and also be a part of the educational role.” Tahere Nazari, Director General of international women, children and family issues for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, added that combining domestic and social roles has been the greatest challenge faced by Iranian women in the past 30 years. The delegation described positive Christan-Muslim relations in their country, noting collaborations with Catholic religious congregations. Allasvand and Nazari were also invited to the Pontifical Gregorian University during their stay in Rome.

@holyrope: did you notice,those in black burqa's look uncanny like the " morality police" women , beating the exposed ankles,bare feet,visible below burqa's and supervising arrests and executions of their "sisters in faith",condemned to stoning just for refusing to accept marriage arranged by their parents.One would think that their commandment to give alms-zakat,would provide for supplying socks …More
@holyrope: did you notice,those in black burqa's look uncanny like the " morality police" women , beating the exposed ankles,bare feet,visible below burqa's and supervising arrests and executions of their "sisters in faith",condemned to stoning just for refusing to accept marriage arranged by their parents.One would think that their commandment to give alms-zakat,would provide for supplying socks and warm stockings,instead of beating them,to keep the blood flowing.I have a very stronge suspicion as to on what basis was that Bishop in Italy assuring us,that in 50 years there will be no Novus Ordo Mass - the freemasons are trying to implement the NWO with the state imposed one world religion - worship of " power" and "grand architect" and the hordes of the original Antichrist come in handy.Kyrie Eleison

@holyrope3 - Their goal is to brainwash the west,dimm the healthy Christian mistrust of islam by telling us their idea of chastity : " women must cover their unseen parts" ,and for men it is ok to accquire " marriage certificate" disclosing amount of money to be exchanged for the "temporary marriage" for few hours,or days so he would not be deprived of sexual relations while away from home(!) and …More
@holyrope3 - Their goal is to brainwash the west,dimm the healthy Christian mistrust of islam by telling us their idea of chastity : " women must cover their unseen parts" ,and for men it is ok to accquire " marriage certificate" disclosing amount of money to be exchanged for the "temporary marriage" for few hours,or days so he would not be deprived of sexual relations while away from home(!) and would not have to be categorized as adulterer and had to receive one hundred lashes in a public square,while woman accused of adultery ,would be buried to her waist/chest and stoned to death. After all -all the man needs to do to get a divorce is say :" I divorce you!" three times. If a woman refuses man's harassement,all he has to do is get one of his buddies to testify against her ( sharia law requires two " witnesses") ,that she was the one " looking at him" and it guarantees in countries ,like Pakistan ,that the "adulteress" will be instantly thrown in jail. One more thing: If it would be Christian testifying about what Christ had to say on that issue: they shall be killed for listening and they are commanded to kill you,for talking to them about any other religion,than theirs. Demographic decline in full gear all over western Europe,the growth numbers spurred by the massive immigration,the takeover by sheer numbers inevitable. And God would allow the Darkness of the original Antichrist take over,if it would not have been for the fact,that His arm of Justice,held up by Virgin Mary's intervention ( think about the meaning of Jesus sweating blood praying in the olive garden - consider Virgin Mary statues crying blood - none of us could resist our earthly mother's tears,yet our hearts remain closed to Her pleading with us) is too heavy and the cup of our trespasses was overflowing already in 1962,when the stage was set for The Abomination of Desolation). The last thing we should be doing is to incline our ear to the father of lies and his emmisarries.What we should do is to armor ourselves,like St Patrick with Christ,The Truth,The Light in Whom there is True Life. For we shall not associate Light with Darkness. 😡 ✍️ 😇

Wonder what exactly these burqa wearing muslim women's real goal is with having this meeting with Catholics. Most "Catholic" organizations (not all) but Most are run by the liberal feminists.
If anyone knows where we could watch and listen to this "dialogue" pls let us know. 😌More

If the Catholic Action desires to get prospective on the life of muslim women,they should ask those questions of those truly God fearing women,that left the chains of indoctrinated fear and got to know the true God of love,acceptance and forgiveness. ✍️
