Which offered more to women: Protestantism or Catholicism? ‘All women are thought of as either married or to be married’ this quote from an anonymous source in Protestant London in 1632 exemplifies that for Protestant women, in the 16th century, the only honorable way to live was to be married, and to personify the domestic ideals that being a ‘good’ women in the eyes of Luther entailed. Unlike the conservative school of thought that argues Protestantism provided more opportunities for women, what becomes clear after examination is that Catholicism actually provided more options for women. Though it was always made clear by Catholics that women were subordinate to men, when Protestantism gave women a higher status within the family, it still remains that the Protestant ideal that pushed women into the home enabled them less choice than their Catholic equals. The reformation period brought fundamental change to the structure of the family, and thus when assessing the question of which offered more to women: Protestantism or Catholicism, it is important to draw upon evidence that predates the Protestant reformation in order to decipher whether the impact it had upon women was beneficial or not.

When they laugh at her warnings and she gets upset, Minerva says, "Come on, Dede. Think how sorry you'd be if something should happen to us and you didn't say goodbye." But before they leave, she cries out her real fear: "I don't want to have to live without you." The reader knows that is her fate exactly: to live after her sisters die as martyrs, and thus to tell their story. Another instance of foreshadowing occurs after Tio Pepe reports what Trujillo said at the gathering at the mayor's house.
By not using the correct words I can imply a completely different message than the one that needed to be presented. If I use the wrong tone of voice I can also be communicating the wrong message. Due to the language barriers that I work with daily I need to be sensitive to the simplicity of what I am communicating. If I make things too complex I will only evoke frustration and anger in the employees I am addressing. In doing so I will not be showing them Christ through me.
