Many Parts
An excellent article that, unfortuantely, it all too familiar to the many women who serve the church. http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/search/article/1398705

Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.
My daughter made this video a couple of years ago, when she was twelve, for me to use at a presentation that I was doing on Mary. I gave her the song, John Michael Talbot’s Magnificat and asked to to add pictures for me. This is what I got, from a twelve year old. A…
“And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing is impossible with God.” Luke 1:36 I realize that this is suppose to be approached solemnly, I do, but did you catch that second bombshell that the…
So today is day 4 (3) of the Impeachment hearings and I am feeling like my Writers Block has finally lifted. I finally feel like I can write without an overflow of anger. Right now, I am just grateful. Most people are doing their jobs and that is all we can do. So, what shall…
Fr. James Martin shared this on his Facebook page and I thought it was a great short tutorial about who St. Ignatius was. It is really well done and beautiful to watch. I hope this finds all of my friends having a peaceful summer. I will be back soon! There is much to talk about! …
“Your hands made me and fashioned me; give me insight to learn your commands.” Psalms 119:73Isn’t is a little humbling and bewildering to consider that God’s hands made you and fashioned you? The imagery is so intimate and when I consider it, I am left with awe and wonder. How could I, with all of…
<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/14054529/?claim=knhmmvb5n2b”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>June of this year is packed with moments that remind me how fleeting this whole early parenting thing really is. Last week, my middle child was Confirmed, which means that she no longer has to take part in the program that I run. I will genuinely miss her being a pain…

You know I just want to say that I’m a bit surprised that the woman in the article was surprised that this happened to her. Its not like she didn’t know that the Catholic Church tends to treat women as second class citizens. Also, she knew that it was against the rules to preach, but did it anyways. That brings up the question. . . do you follow the authority of the church always or only when you don’t think that its stupid. That is a big question I feel right now in the Catholic church and something that the Vatican really needs to address. That all said, I honestly don’t think that this woman was treated unfairly. Who I do think are treated unfairly, are the nuns in the faith. They work so hard and are rewarded by the Church so little. It really annoys me that some Sisters have to ask their families to help supply them with the necessities of daily life.
The Catholic Church teaches that following ones own conscience holds primacy. I think it was a matter of conscience for the priest that encouraged her to preach. We have a wealth of well educated women who would be a great gift to share thier insights. So I don’t think it is a black and white issue. But I agree that our nuns are being treated very badly and that is starting at the Vatican. Thanks for your comment Nina!
