Marcella the teacher?

                In section 7 it becomes doubtful whether Marcella is teaching her own opinion or not and if Jerome is praising her for teaching. Jerome acknowledges that she knew the precept, women shouldn’t teach, but claims that she gave her own opinion not by saying it was hers, but rather by claiming it was Jerome’s or another male instructor.  It seems ambiguous whether or not Jerome is praising her for breaking that precept against female teachers. Jerome later talks about how she claimed that he was a student of the things which she taught, thus seeming to imply that she can get around not teaching by claiming she is simply passing on the teachings of others. I don’t have a completely clear idea of the situation I feel. But I just was struck by the praise-like tone that seemed to be coming from Jerome over a violation of an apostolictic  saying.
