The Heart of the Mystical Body of Christ: Subjectivity and Solidarity with Poor Women of Color

M. Shawn Copeland has emphasized the significance of the poor woman of color as the subject of theology, and has advocated for solidarity with them. Bernard Lonergan’s understanding of love includes a significant emphasis on interpersonal relations and their connections to the horizons of subjectivity, as well as on the links between the human subject and the Trinity. This article draws these two arguments together to contribute to a theology of the human subject in relation to the Trinity and in terms of solidaristic praxis with poor women of color.
