Dr Michael O'Sullivan is a Jesuit and author of the book 'How Roman Catholic Theology Can Transform Male Violence against Women.' His workis described as “groundbreaking”, by Professor Linda Hogan of Trinity College Dublin. In this interview with Pat Coyle of Irish Jesuit Communications, Michael says that violence against women is a world-wide phenomenon, and that Christian and Catholic teaching must be called on how it has contributed to this. He also outlines how the gospel stories of the New Testament, and the actions of Jesus with women, can serve as a counter-cultural challenge to the prevailing oppression experienced by many women.
