The paper develops, from a feminist point of view, the issues of emergence and presence of patriarchal principles, gender hierarchy and unequal distribution of power between the genders within ...Christianity. First of all, it poses the question as to whether patriarchal supremacy is proper to and ordained by the Christian tradition or has developed and strengthened throughout the process of the institutionalisation of Christianity. The western world, shaped under the influence of Christianity, has been recording an increased number of critical questions concerning the issue of gender hierarchy within individual Christian Churches, the Catholic Church in particular. The patriarchal character of the Church order is called into question and put under a microscope. With the help of a scientific methodology that employs the hermeneutic key of feminist theology the paper endeavours to trace the origins of patriarchal androcentrism and unequal appreciation of the two genders. The results of the discussion corroborate the hypothesis that during the process of institutionalisation the Catholic Church adopted the patriarchal denotation of the culture in which it developed, and confirm the theory that Christianity in its doctrine sets a strong imperative of gender equality, grounded both in the person of Jesus Christ and his attitude towards women as well as in the Bible.

The previous chapters illustrated that comparative social policy studies focused primarily on national variations in welfare state development outcomes. The development of ‘models’ or ‘typologies’ ...was illustrated to be a core feature of comparative social policy research, otherwise referred to in the literature as ‘welfare regime theory’ or the ‘welfare modelling business’ (Abrahamson, 1999). Welfare regime theory was popularised by the publication of theThree Worlds of Welfare Capitalism(Esping-Andersen, 1990). The welfare regimes approach was adopted by Hobson and Morgan for the ‘policy regimes and father regimes’ typology (2002). Gender studies and feminism also shaped ways of thinking about
Članak iz perspektive feminističke teologije raspravlja o
pitanju pojave i nazočnosti patrijarhalnosti, hijerarhije među
rodovima i nejednakopravne i neravnomjerne raspodjele
moći među rodovima ...unutar kršćanstva. Prije svega postavlja
pitanje je li nadvlast vlastita i obvezna u kršćanskoj tradiciji
ili se razvijala i ojačala kroz institucionalizaciju kršćanstva. U
zapadnom svijetu, koji se razvijao pod utjecajem kršćanstva,
moguće je otkriti sve više kritičnih pitanja u odnosu na
hijerarhiju rodova unutar kršćanskih Crkava, s naglaskom
na Katoličkoj crkvi. Patrijarhalna obojenost crkvenog
uređenja dovedena je u pitanje i pod povećalo. Članak uz
pomoć znanstvene metodologije hermeneutičkoga ključa
feminističke teologije nastoji pokazati podrijetlo
patrijarhalnog andocentrizma i nejednaku i neravnopravnu
evaluaciju obaju rodova. Rezultati prikazanih rasprava
potvrđuju pretpostavku da je Katolička crkva u procesu
institucionalizacije usvojila patrijarhalni pečat kulture u kojoj
se razvijala i pretpostavku da kršćanstvo u svojem nauku
stavlja jak imperativ jednake vrijednosti i ravnopravnosti rodova koja je utemeljena u osobi Isusa Krista i njegovu
odnosu prema ženama kao i u Bibliji.
Peng and Wong explained that ‘exceptionalism’ or ‘welfare laggardness’ within the East Asian model of welfare regimes was blamed on shared Confucian heritages and legacies of patriarchal fatherhood, ...which held back welfare state development:
respect for education, filial piety, deference to authority, patriarchy, and above all the centrality of the family and kinship ties in social organisation – constrained the development of more western conceptions of the welfare state. (2010: 657)
However, Peng and Wong rejected explanations of ‘exceptionalism’ and instead they identified two distinct variants within the East Asian welfare typology (2010: 658). The first variant was the ‘inclusive social
