“Women also attained substantially more autonomy thanks to Catholicism. "Women found protection in the teachings of the Church," writes philosopher Robert Phillips, "and were permitted to form communities of religious who would be self-governing something unheard of in any culture of the ancient world.... Look at the catalogue of saints filled up with women. Where in the world were women able to run their own schools, convents, colleges, hospitals and orphanages, outside of Catholicism?''”

Diane Lane as Lorena Wood in 'Lonesome Dove' (1989)
Watchng this, it was hard not to think that if Lonesome Dove was a thing right now, Tumblr would be all about the (non-existent) gay love story between Gus and Woodrow, and the women would be forgotten!

“In most Western countries, if a person is convicted of murder and sentenced to death, but goes insane between the moment of sentencing and the moment of execution, he is kept alive until he regains his sanity and only then is he executed. The reason for this unusual proviso is entirely theological: Only if the man is sane can he make a good confession, receive forgiveness for his sins, and hope to save his soul. Cases like this have led legal scholar Harold Berman to observe that modern Western legal systems "are a secular residue of religious attitudes and assumptions which historically found expression first in the liturgy and rituals and doctrine of the church and thereafter in the institutions and concepts and values of the law. When these historical roots are not understood, many parts of the law appear to lack any underlying source of validity.”
