WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
Joanna Manning is a former nun from England who studied theology, then left the order under the influence of Vatican II. She long championed the rights of women in the Church, but now she is a Canadian Anglican priest. Her three books are: Is the Pope Catholic? A Woman Confronts Her Church (1999): Take Back the Truth: Confronting Papal Power and the Religious Right (2002); and, The Magdalene Moment: A Vision for a New Christianity (2006). In this interview, she discussed misogyny in Church theology, from Aquinas through John Paul II, as well as views of the poor and the role of Opus Dei in Church politics. An update describes Pope Francis’s 2022 cancellation of Opus Dei’s representation among the Bishops, and its new status as a diocese without borders.
The Women’s International News Gathering Service (wings) has been covering the global women’s movement and related issues for community radio since 1986. WINGS may be contacted at [email protected].
