Pathetic At Boston College

From the Curt Jestor, Jeff Miller writes about the goofy lecture from The Boisi Center at Boston College, entitled Suppressing Women For 3,000 Years . Kathleen Kennedy Townsend real title was Failing America's Faithful

When it comes to progressives I think you could easily substitute the word prophetic with pathetic and have it to be more correct. The Bible doesn't exactly mince words when it comes to false prophets and I don't see exactly why I should either. Calling people to go along with the culture is anything but prophetic. Can you see Isiah or Jeremiah calling people to live out the modern times of their times?

I also wonder calling the Catholic Church a suppressor of women a dialogue and a promotion of understanding of religion.


...She said that the Catholic Church has lost its way in the latter half of the 20th century, following the "moral majority" mindset and focusing on only three issues.

"The churches have been hijacked by stem cell research, same-sex marriage, and abortion," she said. By only focusing on these issues, Townsend argued that the church has lost sight of the issues on which it was founded, such as "loving your neighbor, not torturing people, and not discriminating against women."

Wow, great writing. I think you would be interested in the book, LOVE LETTERS TO POPE JOHN PAUL II. It's about a Jesuit experience and sorting through the good and the bad.
