You deal with very delicate issues in the Witch of Portobello, such as prejudice, religious intolerance and dogma. Aren’t you afraid of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church with this novel? After all you defend the idea that God is the Great Mother.
I’m not afraid of that. I go every year to a Benedictine retreat in Austria, called Melk. There I spoke to abbot Buckhard about catholic tradition and, during our talks, the issue of women’s exclusion came up. He told me that the Benedictine have prayers dedicated to the Goddess-Mother. In 200 years I believe that feminine divinity will no longer be a taboo.
Yes why not, the feminine side of God is beautiful, all women are divinely beautiful, this secures the fate of man and future of mankind.
Although you come every year to Melk dear Paulo, (and you know I live nearby) and I have also walked the path which has been honoured with your name I have yet to be blessed with meeting you. I believe my dream will one day come true. Love, Paul

Julian Norwich wrote “The Motherhood of God”, I wander why she was never canonized?
