In Case Anyone Had Any Doubts

posted by Catherine Connors | 4:20pm Friday February 26, 2010

… about who this boy belonged to… … you can just reflect upon whether or not there is any resemblance between him and his mother: Yeah. Someday, he might have a mullet like that. If he’s lucky. (These photos demonstrate [...]

Love Thursday: Princess Edition

posted by Catherine Connors | 7:27pm Wednesday February 24, 2010

(Emilia does not like princess dresses, but she’s game to play dress-up when asked nicely, and if she can the dress off immediately after the picture is taken. Next week we’ll be playing an epic game of dress-up as we [...]

Let’s Bring Compassion Into The Abortion Debate

posted by Catherine Connors | 12:24pm Tuesday February 23, 2010

I don’t expect everyone to agree about abortion. I find it difficult enough, as someone who is emphatically pro-choice but deeply ambivalent about her own experience, to come to any clear terms (beyond believing that women’s freedom of choice must [...]

A Movement, Extraordinary

posted by Catherine Connors | 6:12pm Monday February 22, 2010

I was in Houston this weekend, having an extraordinary time with a community of extraordinary women and generally feeling extraordinary, and I’m not sure that I have the words to capture the extraordinariness of it all, in part because I [...]

The Road To Heaven Is Paved With Maracas
Last weekend, I went to Mass for the first time in well over a decade. To say that it was a strange and disorienting experience would be to understate things dramatically. But it was also a deeply comforting and familiar experience. I know that that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, but in my exp

Dear God (On The Catholic Church And Abuse And Evil And Crises Of Faith)
This weekend, I read an article in New York Times Magazine about the crisis surrounding the Catholic Church in Ireland as new, horrible, stories emerge about sexual abuse of children and efforts by the Church to cover up those stories.

There But For A Rocking Chair: On Love and Fear and Keeping Our Children Safe
Before Emilia was born, I fussed endlessly about babyproofing. Never mind that it would be months before she would even enter the world, let alone move around it and find its electrical outlets: I was convinced that when it came to babies, there was no such thing as too many precautions taken too so

Blog The Change You Wish To See In The World
I wrote this post a few months back, when I was in Africa. It's worth reposting today, on World Aids Day, because I think that the reminder is an important one: that those of who have a voice - whether those voices are carried virtually, or otherwise - have a responsibility to use our voices for tho
