Women and gender roles at the Synod of Würzburg (1971-1975)

研究项目的重点是德意志联邦共和国罗马天主教会于1971-1975年举行的所谓w<s:1> rzburger宗教会议如何根据德国社会和罗马天主教会对妇女和性别作用的不断变化的理解来定位自己，以及宗教会议如何试图影响这一进程，尊重规范和实际准则。该项目首先分析了第二次世界大战后这一领域的重要社会变化，以及罗马天主教会在第二次梵蒂冈大公会议（1962-1965）期间与传统教学有关的教义的变化。然而，该项目的核心问题是，这些倾向是否导致了主教会议对妇女和性别角色的新的或改变的看法，以及这些转变是如何发生的。该项目还包括对德国主教会议关于妇女在教会和社会中的地位问题的文件的形成进行研究，该文件于1981年出版，因为该文件的起源可以追溯到世界主教会议的会议记录。因此，该项目正在追踪整个70年代的变化。

The Research Project is focusing on the question how the so-called Würzburger Synode, a Synod of the Roman Catholic Church in the Federal Republic of Germany held from 1971-1975, was positioning itself in relation towards the changing understanding of women and gender roles in the German society and in the Roman Catholic Church, and how the Synod tried to influence this process with respect towards norms and practical guidelines. The project begins with analyzing the important societal shifts on this field after the Second World War and also the shifts of the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church with regard to the traditional teaching in the period of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). The core question of the project is, however, whether these dispositions led to a new or changing view of woman and gender roles by the Synod, and how these transformations took place. The project is also including a research into the shaping of the document of the German Bishops Conference About Questions regarding the position of women in Church and society, which was published in 1981, because the origins of this document went back into the proceedings of the Synod. Consequently, the project is tracing the changes of the complete Seventies.
