This is a nation wideproblem. I have seen the same thing down here in the south.
I think it is a shame that none of the Seminary faculty are ever asked to give any of these courses, but then again, considering the people in the Religious Ed office, it should serve as no surprise. We would actually teach them the Catholic faith.
this is so old and boring...and stupid.
I wonder if Bishop Schnurr knows. He doesn't seem the type to tolerate this.

Debbie,
It's likely one of my readers will bring it to his attention.
Wouldn't it be great if no one signed up for this course? Now, _that_ would send a message to the powers that be!

I have started sending a check to the office of the dioceses to the attention of Bishop Schnurr for $1.00 with a note about some event like this going on in this dioceses. It cost me about 10$ a month or so. In the note I tell him that I am not able to send more for the church until it stops doing this type of thing in his area. That means the church has to cash the check and keep a record of my gift which means they profit nothing, and it has a very strong message that I am not if favor of programs put on by those in pure dissent. If it is a very strong case, I go to the expense of sending it special delivery to his name. I think we need to let them know that this is going on and how upset we are with people in his employee in the dioceses office.
No doubt "Patriarchal Power and the Pauperization of Women" is a dramatic statement about how the Muslim and Hindu religious laws keep women down, whereas Proverbs 31 praises wives who found and run small business enterprises and use the profits to buy real estate, in addition to their household duties.
That is what it's about, right? Because the Jewish patriarchs pretty much never seem to have married stupid or submissive women, as far as I can tell. Whether women in the Bible sin or do the right thing, it's usually pretty inventive.
Oh, my God! (said as brief prayer) Why does this continue to happen? Doesn't anyone "vet" these speakers ? If Rich Leonardi knows the background of this woman (I have a hard time calling her a sister/nun), then don't the "powers that be?" I get so frustrated, so upset at this type of thing and why it is allowed to continue. Does the unnamed parish know all about her? Those of you in the Archdiocese of Cinicinnati must flood the chancery with complaints.
