“The "encounter" with the people on the peripheries is intended to draw them into the circle of common care and concern - that call to encounter is, to use a favorite world of John Paul II's, a call to solidarity. And that means, it seems to me, aggressive Catholic efforts to empower the poor - and a profound Catholic challenge to all those cultural forces that are eroding stable families, which are the elementary schools where we learn to take responsibility for our lives, which is the highest exercise of freedom.” PeopleWorldMeanUseSeemsCareSchoolForceChallengesPoorCommonEffortResponsibilityOur LivesExerciseHighestDrawsConcernCatholicProfoundCirclesEncountersEmpoweringAggressiveStableSolidarityTaking ResponsibilityElementary SchoolJohn PaulPeripheryJohn Paul IiCare And Concern Author:George Weigel

“I often went to Catholic mass or Eucharist at the Episcopal church, nourished by the symbol and power of this profound feeding ritual. It never occurred to me how odd it was that women, who have presided over the domain of food and feeding for thousands of years, were historically and routinely barred from presiding over it in a spiritual context. And when the priest held out the host and said, "This is my body, given for you," not once did I recognize that it is women in the act of breastfeeding who most truly embody those words and who are also most excluded from ritually saying them.” YearsSaidBodySpiritualGivenChurchMassCatholicProfoundSymbolsOddPriestsOver ItRitualHostFeedingDomainEucharistExcludedBreastfeeding Author:Sue Monk Kidd
