Magical Thinking: Could Papa Frank Name a Woman Cardinal?

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

Now wouldn't THAT be something? I don't know enough yet to speculate (though I'm chuffed the woman mentioned most often is the Irish theologian Linda Hogan). Read more

My OCR Latest: Listen Up to PASTRIX!

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

To focus solely on those externals is missing the point. Bolz-Weber has a bold and unmistakable voice, preaching the Gospel of Grace in a way the world needs to hear. And we might not listen if her appearance, vocabulary, and backstory were more neat, pious or easy. Read more

Where the Heck’ya Been, God Girl?

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

No, I never expected to return to writing for newspapers. But not unlike Don Corleone, the Register's editor made me an offer I simply couldn't refuse. My first day on the job was the day before Pope Benedict XVI retired and a week or so later, I found myself standing in St. Peter's Square staring at the same smoke stack on top of the Sistine Chapel that I had spent many hours surveilling for signs of white smoke eight years earlier when they fella who had just ridden off into the sunset (by helicopter and not figuratively this time) had been elected Pontifex Rex. Read more

On Monday, Papa Frank welcomed Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese Nobel Peace Prize-winning heroine, to the Vatican where, among other things, he told her they were “fundamentally on the same wavelength” regarding nonviolence, democracy and “peaceful coexistence in today’s world,” according to the UK’s Catholic Herald. I love this. She’s  a Buddhist. He’s a Catholic (obviously). Same wavelength. Why? The Catholic Herald says: The Holy Father told me that emotions such as hatred and fear diminish life and the... Read more
