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 themargins 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.
