On the Square Today

R.R. Reno on Sr. Margaret Farley and dissent :

The  New York Times  styled it a “denunciation.” The  National Catholic Reporter  saw it as part of the Vatican’s supposed “war on women.” The ever-reliable Paul Lakeland of Fairfield intoned that it was “a black day in the history of the Church.”

What triggered this outrage? In early June the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican bureaucracy responsible for weighing in on questions of faith and morals, put out a “Notification” that censured  Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics , a 2006 book about sexual ethics by Sr. Margaret Farley.
