meditation at a season’s end

Last updated on: September 2, 2016 at 6:18 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time...

being catholic and jewish (or jewish and catholic?)

Last updated on: August 27, 2016 at 11:21 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Being a Jewish Catholic means I can fit in with neither Right nor Left - which is fine. Like Treebeard, "I am not altogether on anybody's side, because nobody is altogether on my side." Read more

catholicity is what we receive

Last updated on: August 23, 2016 at 11:06 am By Guest Contributor

Even as I questioned this or that thing that supposedly was “official” Church teaching, I was still a Catholic. Even as I walked into and out of a marriage that manifested no sacramental graces, I was still a Catholic. Even as I was snubbed or lectured by other parishioners for being a working mother and not able to construct a perfect Catholic household, I was still a Catholic Read more

catholic and feminist: identity, action, and faith

Last updated on: August 24, 2016 at 11:17 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Looking anew at Mary and other female saints – looking anew at the women of the Old Testament who entered into the drama of salvation history by consistently defying societal norms for female behavior – looking, ultimately, at the words and deeds of Christ in the gospels, and the structure of the church he founded – I came to realize that being feminist and being Christian did not, as many suggested (and as I had felt for years) constitute an inherent contradiction.

sexism in the olympics? you shouldn’t be surprised

Last updated on: August 15, 2016 at 12:58 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Professional and social media have been inundated with stories about sexism in the coverage of the Olympics. From the emphasis on the “sexy” opening performances, to the overshadowing of female athletes by their male counterparts, to crediting male coaches of female athletes for “creating” them, it’s evident that sexual equality is still a goal to be pursued, not an achievement to be celebrated, in this realm of star athletics.
