Only as regards family. The Mother is definitely the boss in 99% of Irish families.
When the mother dies, the family unit is never the same again.
But in work or the church women don't have the same pay or say, which I think is very wrong.
pay? pay? when were Jesus and the apostles ever paid for the work of teaching and
preaching Gods Kingdom? In fact I can cite several passages which demonstrate
that they had an aversion to money being offered for their services.
(Acts 8:18-21) Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the hands of the
apostles the spirit was given, he offered them money, saying: “Give me also this
authority, that anyone upon whom I lay my hands may receive holy spirit.” But
Peter said to him: “May your silver perish with you, because you thought through
money to get possession of the free gift of God. You have neither part nor lot in this
matter, for your heart is not straight in the sight of God.
(Matthew 10:8) . . .you received free, give free. . .
