‘In Nomine Domini’ is an animation in ten parts, each of which illustrates the Church's historical endorsement of the repression of women. From the 3rd century through to Pope John Paul II, we learn from the words of the venerable fathers that women are harmful animals, deformed men and devilish beings… ‘Woman, you are the doorway to hell – the doorway by which the devil appears' – Terullianus, 3rd Century.
