A friend shared the quotation below with a variety of folks offline. Not sure if it quite fit with any of the blogs she was involved with. I thought, I can't wait to share it on mine!
So, here it is.
Isn't the problem with sexism, not what it says about women but what it says about God? Doesn't sexism really imply that God is all powerful except when it comes to women, at which point the God who could draw water from a rock and raise the dead to life is totally powerless to work as fully through a woman as through a man?
-Joan Chittister, OSB
I just love the thought of the good old boys who, upon reading Sister Joan's words would have their faces sputter and turn purple and their willies go limp.
Be vewy afwaid, boys. Your "god" is too small.

I, for one - am rather fond of this quote and very fond of this post.
Nicely done Paul. Very nicely done.
The boys do so hate it when the girls encroach upon their territory.
God however feels otherwise.
She certainly does, Fran; she certainly does.

Nice collage, too.
Amen brother, amen!
(Fran is smiling on her face and in her heart.)
