Abstract

The essay on “The future of 'women theologians’ in Italy: a sociological analysis” confronts the theme from a theoretical and empirical point of view.  It lingers, at the beginning, on the role of the 'observers women' present at the Vatican II Council and on others who, from the outside, influenced the debate on women, church and modernity. The focus of reflection is on the consequences arising in 'feminist/female theology' today through the data of 'survey' which deals with the universe of Italian Christian women theologians. From a methodical point of view the empiric method used in the survey is a quantitative one by means of a questionnaire with multiple closed. When was feminist theology born? What is the rapport between the genders in the Christian churches? What is the future of women in the Roman Catholic Church and the role of women in the Catholic Church in Italy? What do women theologians think about women priests? What is their 'dream'?  We try to offer a response to these questions.
