Oddly enough since I began wearing a mantilla. The little piece of lace has got me thinking about what it means to be a woman. That and the fact that I’ve been going to Mass with an order of dissenting nuns many of whom look like men. It’s been an odd experience.Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453734960620777549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-58180173832373738912008-04-29T22:53:00.000-05:002008-04-29T22:53:00.000-05:00in a recent article in InsideCatholic there is an...in a recent article in InsideCatholic there is another view of feminism addressed.<BR/><BR/>http://insidecatholic.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3324&Itemid=121&ed=3<BR/><BR/>i wrote in a comment:<BR/>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<BR/>Marriage and Doublemint-gum<BR/>2008-04-08 08:02:46<BR/><BR/>I can speak to my experience, though. My wife and I married in the middle 60's, in the midst of the revolution to free women from oppression by men, and to free all from the scourge of chastity.<BR/><BR/>The era was certainly one in which our heads were getting turned round and round. Not only was secular culture changing, the Church was changing. Vatican II had many of us wandering around looking for something familiar to which we could cling.<BR/><BR/>By the grace of God, we find that in our marriage. It is unitive. As the Trinity is one, so is our relationship. We certainly had to learn how to live that unity and that still requires a lot of work.<BR/><BR/>Unlike the blending of flavors in Doublemint-gum where the two blend together to make a new flavor, I think marriage brings two into one yet allows each to have their individuality still discernible.<BR/><BR/>Through it all, true femininity thrives.<BR/><BR/>Written by uncle jim<BR/>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -uncle jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879341171634900790noreply@blogger.com
