Dignity and Vocation of Women (Mulieris Dignitatem)

Description

By Pope John Paul II

Apostolic letter of Pope John Paul II dated 15 August 1988, issued during the Marian Year. Written in the style of a meditation, it reflects on the dignity and vocation of women in the light of the Second Vatican Council and earlier papal teaching, presenting Mary as the woman of the Bible who belongs closely to the mystery of Christ and the Church. Drawing on Genesis, it holds that men and women are equally persons created in God’s image and that human fulfilment comes through a sincere gift of self.
