Equality

Unfaithful to the Gospel

Brian K. Noe · March 26, 2021 ·

Each time I think that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have gotten to the point where there isn’t much they can do that would surprise me or disappoint me, they find a way to do it.

When obsessions with language and semantics around gender and sexuality causes a group to oppose funding for suicide prevention, prevention of violence against women, and protection for all against discrimination, they have departed from any semblance of being “True to the Gospel” or “pro-life.”

I have to remind myself that the Bishops, although meant to be shepherds of the Church, are not the Church itself. So, it is not accurate to say that “the Catholic Church opposes” equality. Nevertheless, it is troubling to remain in communion with a body which seems to be led by bigots.

We Shall See What Will Become Of His Dreams

Brian K. Noe · April 4, 2015 ·

“There are people who have come to see the moral imperative of equality, but who cannot yet see the moral imperative of world brotherhood. I would like to see the fervor of the civil-rights movement imbued into the peace movement to instill it with greater strength. And I believe everyone has a duty to be in both the civil-rights and peace movements. But for those who presently choose but one, I would hope they will finally come to see the moral roots common to both.”

– The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Apropos of the Day

Brian K. Noe · March 8, 2012 ·

In 1920 these suffragettes from the National Woman’s Party unfurled a banner at the Republican National Convention in Chicago.

The banner displays a quote from Susan B. Anthony. “No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex.”

On this International Women’s Day 2012, perhaps it’s appropriate to reflect on what progress, if any, has been made over the past century.
