In your other Labor Day On the Square , Sandra Laguerta takes the LCWR to task for their “confused ecclesiology” and “unsettling misunderstanding” of Catholic teaching:
There is noting unsatisfying about the council documents’ description of the laity, religious, and clergy, especially when the documents indeed reiterated the importance of a lay participation in the Church. Yet Sister Florence insists that there are “inconsistencies” in the Church’s explication on the role of women, especially women religious, and such inconsistencies are what ultimately drive Sister Florence and the LCWR in their search for “equality” in the Church.
Read the rest here . Sandra is another one of us new junior fellows, and she’s also written about the ordination of women here .
Dear Reader,
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
