    I would love to see fight forced hysterectomies in ICE facilities with the relentless determination they opposed the ACA contraception mandate with. I am doubtful we’ll even see 1% of that exertion against Trump’s eugenics.

    I raise my voice in fervent opposition to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast's scandalous offer of an award to Attorney General Barr for his "exemplary Christlike" behavior. I urge the group to immediately rescind their inivtation, and I urge anyone reading this to join me.

    The 2020 National Catholic Prayer Breakfast will be streamed online on Sept. 23 the organization announced on Wednesday. The event will honor Attorney General William Barr.

    This is how the Vatican gaslights women. The pope writes an encyclical titled “Fratelli tutti,” which translates "All brothers.” Then they insist it *can also* be translated “All Siblings.” Whether women are included is entirely up for interpretation.

    I’m incredibly honored to be giving this year’s Mooney lecture at Fairfield University. I’m gathering together all my thoughts about why women should be priests in one definitive speech. Buckle up. 💺

    Catholic women who want women to have greater roles in the church must stop making excuses for Pope Francis. He knows what he is doing & there are no "powerful forces inside the Vatican" keeping him from making progress. He has always made his retrograde views of women clear.
