She was a leading figure in a wave of progressive women who took on the Roman Catholic Church’s male-centered doctrines.
Rosemary Radford Ruether, a pioneering theologian who brought feminist, antiracist and environmental perspectives to bear on the traditional teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, died on May 21 in Pomona, Calif. She was 85.
Her daughter Mimi Ruether confirmed the death, in a hospital, but did not specify a cause.
