I just finished reading a great interview with Catholic feminist theologian Ivone Gebara of Brazil. http://iglesiadescalza.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-pope-has-good-will-but-he-cant.html
There are so many threads for me that come together here: my own experience as a Catholic woman and mother of Catholic daughters; years of study of church history, doctrine, Scripture, theology, and spirituality; my advocacy for social justice through NETWORK and other organizations; being an alumna of a women’s college; recent blogging reading and writing, including my Holy Saturday post and a reply to one of OM’s post on women and the priesthood, which I can’t seem to find at the moment so link is to his homepage; the women’s history month/feminist posts that I have been planning to get to for months and haven’t; and reaction to long-standing problems with oppression, violence, mutilation, and human trafficking around the world.
Serious stuff. The top of my mind gets overwhelmed sometimes…

I get overwhelmed a lot, but you just keep putting the important stuff out here, whether it’s in deep, rich posts or smaller, bite sized portions. I admire and appreciate how you do that! We do what we can.
