Collegeville Connections: Raising Kids for a Just World
No full textIt is a complex time to be a parent. Our climate is in crisis, and economic inequality is deepening. Racialized violence is spreading, and school shootings are escalating. How do we, as parents, cultivate in our children a love of the earth, a cry for justice, and a commitment to nonviolence? Where do we place our bodies so we teach our kids that resistance is crucial and change is possible? What practices do we hold as a family to encourage them to work with their hands, honor their hearts, and nurture their spirits

Redes espirituales femeninas en tres novelas de autoras latinoamericanas: intersecciones ciudad/periferia a través de una lente histórica feminista
Get PDFThis paper examines three fictional spiritual communities situated within the historical frame of the so called three waves of feminism, with their emphasis on women’s right to education and political participation, women’s struggle for personal independence and interaction of women from different social and cultural settings. Its focus is on the connections and disconnections between the city’s modern culture and the traditionally oriented rural areas, as well as on the sexual exploitation of women. In Clorinda Matto de Turner’s 1889’s Aves sin nido Lucía, from Lima, builds a spiritual community of indigenous and mestiza women in the small town of Kíllac. Its aim is to preserve the family from the patriarchal corruption of church and state; however, the compassionate but hierarchical enligthenment that comes from the city must go back to the city. In Elena Poniatowska’s 1969’s Hasta no verte Jesús mío Jesusa, a traditional woman from a small town in southwestern Mexico, encounters a new spirituality in a messianic community in Mexico City. However, it fails to provide her the freedom of modern institutions and the comfort of traditional support networks she seeks as a migrant to the city. In Laura Restrepo’s 1995’Dulce compañía Mona, a journalist, finds a new spirituality created by a group of women from a slum around a supposed angel in the outskirts of Bogotá. She becomes part of a community in which it momentarily becomes possible to find harmonic intersections across the borders of an urban area. Ultimately, the extreme idealization of the city during the first wave of feminism gives way to its utter vilification during the second wave; in contrast, the third wave points to a merging of modern and traditional values of human solidarity under the leadership of women’s spiritual networks
Modern Racial Categories, American Slave Societies, & the Integration of African Religious Practices into Christianity

Get PDF“Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:31-32). These words of Jesus to Simon reveal to us about Simon and his mission. Indeed, though Simon is weak and could be tempted, Jesus always prays for him so that he became a foundation of the Church: “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it” (Mt 16:18). In this paper, I attempt to point out the mission of Peter and his successor, the pope, in the Catholic church and why the papacy is the matter with the catholic Church
Uncivil Disobedience and Democracy: An American Perspective
Get PDFFrom the time of the Athenian democracy there has been the debated question of whether protest and dissent, especially uncivil disobedience to the law was supportive or destructive of a people’s democracy. The debate continues unabated today.
In a recent collection of essays titled Protest and Dissent, Professor Susan Stokes offered an answer to the question Are Protests Good or Bad for Democracy? (Schwartzberg, 2020, p. 269). After considering both possibilities, she concludes, as had James Madison in Federalist 10, that protests “are a natural by-product of freedoms of expression and association which, if curtailed, would threaten democracy itself.”(Schwartzberg, 2020, pp. 281). Building a society that is democratic and recognizes the need for frequent reform is challenging. In meeting those challenges difficult and profound moral choices often confront us
