In the book "On Heaven and Earth", published in 2012, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio tells Rabbi Abraham Skorka that “the place where one receives the most attacks, where one hits the most, is always the most important.”
According to him, Satan strikes where there is more salvation, more transmission of life, “and the woman - as an existential venue – has been the most struck in history.”
“She has been the object of use, of profit, of slavery, she was relegated to the background.” Bergoglio doesn't explain on what important “foreground” women missed out.
During his January 1 homily Francis issued a harsh condemnation of violence against women, saying that "every violence inflicted on women is a profanation of God."
