IN THIS TIMELY COLLECTION OF ESSAYS, twenty-two widely respected
writers, historians, theologians, and feminists thoughtfully
reflect on their own personal experiences with the Catholic Church.
The essayists movingly describe how they have, or in some cases
have not, come to terms with a church that does not permit them
full participation. In so doing, they offer practical suggestions
for ways in which the church can become more open to the concerns
of its progressive members. Among the essayists and essays featured
in this collection are Rosemary Radford Ruether, who provides a
brief history of twentieth-century reform movements;
internationally-known Irish journalist Mary Kenny, who writes on
the abortion debate in Ireland; Pulitzer Prize-winner Madeleine
Blais, who discusses her youth in parochial schools; short-story
writer and New Yorker contributor Jean McGarry, who describes the
clash of Catholic and secular cultures; and Grail co-founder Janet
Kalven, who depicts the history of this widely recognized religious
reform movement. A foreword by Sandra Gilbert and an introduction
by Sally Barr Ebest and Ron Ebest provide context for these
personal and poignant essays. In a format that is easily accessible
to general readers, Reconciling Catholicism and Feminism? explores
issues of concern to progressive and feminist Catholics, including
abortion, birth control, clerical celibacy, and the ordination of
women.
