Should women preach at Mass?
In the Catholic tradition, preaching at Mass has usually been left to male clergy. However, writer Jessie Bazan says women can bring a necessary and unique perspective to the pulpit.

"Like many issues in the Catholic Church, the exclusion of women from the pulpit is a patriarchy problem," writes Bazan. "It’s rooted in an unwillingness from many in the hierarchy to consider even the possibility that women could be equal conduits of God’s word."
