Weaver addresses the historical context, theological response, and contemporary experience of nuns, laywomen, theologians, and women in the pew who struggle in an ecclesiastical community that energetically opposes feminism. She examines the new feminist consciousness of some Catholic women; women's roles in the parish; the relationship of women's religious orders to the women's movement; women's ordination; Roman Catholic feminist theologians; and feminist spirituality. Weaver has added a new introduction addressing the current realities of a conservative Papacy and Church.

Catholic Women Confront Their Church tells the stories of nine exceptional women who have chosen to remain Catholic despite their deep disagreements with the institutional church. From Barbara Blaine, founder of Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), to Sister Simone Campbell, whose “Nuns on the Bus” tour for social justice generated national attention, the book highlights women whose stories illustrate not only problems in the church but also the promise of reform. The women profiled span a diverse range of ages, ethnicities, and experiences—single and married, lesbian and straight, mothers and sisters. The women profiled share one trait—that faith is bigger than the institutional church. The book’s Introduction provides readers with an essential overview of the history of women in the church, and the Conclusion looks at the potential for future change. Ideal for anyone who has struggled with the Catholic church’s relationship with women, this moving book offers hope.

Catholic Women of Congo-Brazzaville explores the changing relationship between women and the Catholic Church from the establishment of the first mission stations in the late 1880s to the present. Phyllis M. Martin emphasizes the social identity of mothers and the practice of motherhood, a prime concern of Congolese women, as they individually and collectively made sense of their place within the Church. Martin traces women's early resistance to missionary overtures and church schools, and follows their relationship with missionary Sisters, their later embrace of church-sponsored education, their participation in popular Catholicism, and the formation of women's fraternities. As they drew together as mothers and sisters, Martin asserts, women began to affirm their place in a male-dominated institution. Covering more than a century of often turbulent times, this rich and readable book examines an era of far-reaching social change in Central Africa.

While many Catholics are aware of great female saints such as Catherine of Siena and Thérèse of Lisieux, a view persists that, over the centuries, women played a limited role in the development of Catholic traditions and institutions. In this innovative survey of Church history, Bronwen McShea demonstrates instead that faithful women have always been at the heart of the Church's common life, shaping it and the course of entire civilizations. In Women of the Church, McShea presents a wide array of well known and lesser known canonized and beatified women, others awaiting beatification, and still more figures not meriting canonization but whom every Catholic should know. She situates Catholic women from diverse social, ethnic, and national origins in their historical contexts, examining specific challenges they faced in settings such as imperial Rome, Reformation Europe, colonial Latin America and Africa, and the USA and Soviet Union during the Cold War. In the process, she shows that, in every age, women inspired by God with creativity, courage, and fidelity have helped save the Church from corruption, disunity, and destruction. In short, McShea clarifies that the history of Catholic women is the history of the Church—as much as the history of Catholic men is.

Women hold the key for the solution to success in our Roman Catholic Church. This key has been hidden! Rise Catholic Women will not only tell you why, but how women can unlock the secrets that have been hidden from them, and expose the unnecessary control of men in decision making in the church. This informative book provides mostly unknown facts about the reasons priests are not allowed to marry. It answers questions that our pastors have been encouraged not to discuss. Sarah Harding shows us that even though statistics show the Catholic church is doing well in the United States, the influx of the Latino communities in our Church has covered up the fact that the non- Latino Catholic population has diminished. The shortage of priests has affected the salvation of souls to a large degree. Women need to rise and face the challenge to be heard. We need all our priests, not just those who have courageously endured celibacy, but the other one third who have left the Church to marry. There are twenty-thousand priests in the United States alone who have left the Church to marry. These priests could be called back to shepherd our churches. You hold the key to unlock the door for them to help save our Roman Catholic Church in America. Note from the author: I am extremely grateful for the professional help given to me by my daughter and granddaughter, Mary Alice Loucks and Nicole McMahon.

The widely exposed transgressions of priests within the Catholic Church stunned the faithful and sent a new surge of energy through the progressive church reform movement in the United States. Despite the movement's growing profile, the world has only recently learned that Catholic women are the driving force behind reform. Good Catholic Girls is a lively account of these courageous women, as seen through the eyes of an impassioned journalist, Angela Bonavoglia. They include Joan Chittister, the Benedictine nun who refused to obey a Vatican order not to speak at an international conference for women's ordination groups; Mary Ramerman, ordained a Catholic priest before 3,000 jubilant supporters; Frances Kissling, whose fight for women's reproductive rights has shaken the Church at its highest levels; Barbara Blaine, a priest abuse survivor who created the nation's most powerful voice for victims; and Sister Jeannine Gramick, who built a pioneering ministry to gays and lesbians, despite Vatican orders to silence her and ban her work. Backed by supporters worldwide, these and other women are rethinking Catholic theology, changing the face of ministry, and resurrecting the lost lives of female church leaders. As Bonavoglia shows, the hierarchy ignores them at its peril.

"In the late twentieth century, women have made great gains politically and professionally, yet U.S. Roman Catholic bishops have failed for nine years to complete a single letter regarding the standing of women in the church. A Catholic woman can be a Supreme Court justice but she cannot be ordained; she can run a city or state but may not make her own reproductive choices without condemnation. Her daughter can play on a co-ed softball team but cannot serve on the altar on Sunday morning. Is it possible, then, to be a feminist and remain Catholic? For Weaver, the answer is yes. Though the words "Catholic feminist" may seem a contradiction in terms for many women, in Weaver's view they are a challenge to find new sources of spiritual nourishment, for women who are in exodus from the patriarchal church, and for women who feel they are in exile from the church that was once their home, Springs of Water in a Dry Land describes the spiritual options that have always existed for women and provides valuable guidance in keeping both aspects of a Catholic feminist identity intact." "Weaver urges women to look for spiritual truths in places and ways sometimes overlooked. Her book points women toward an expansive Catholic spirituality that can be discovered within and outside of the Catholic tradition. The life and writing of Teresa of Avila, for example, inspire women to have confidence in their own relationships with God and to trust their own experience. In other chapters, Weaver examines the problems of women's ordination, and the possibilities offered by liberation theology, process thought, and Goddess spirituality." "A God who desires relationship is revealed in the lives of women who are on the margins of the Catholic tradition. These women are pioneers, Weaver shows us, whose intuition and experience will lead them to find sustenance in old wellsprings, toward new ways of naming their spiritual home."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In this second edition of her exploration of Catholic women in film and television, author Kathryn Schleich presents an in-depth, feminist point of view while addressing important questions about the role of women in both the Church and Hollywood. Throughout Schleichs extensive research, she noticed that themes of fear, mistrust, and even hatred of women were prevalent. While examining such deeply ingrained attitudes, it soon became evident to Schleich that Catholic women still have a long way to go in Hollywood. As she carefully explores the sexual tension between Sister Benedict and Father OMalley in The Bells of St. Marys, the brutal murder of Theresa Dunn in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and the stereotype shattering Grace Hanadarko of Saving Grace, Schleich offers an insightful portrayal of womens oppression within the Catholic Church and explores whether Catholic women are better off today. This study encourages contemplation of the place of Catholic women within the ever-changing spheres of cinema and television, ultimately encouraging movement toward the goal of achieving equal status for women in all realms of life.
