ramble through the bronx
yes, this here is ramble through the bronx, the continuing musings of a graduate student* who should be writing her dissertation, but honestly, living in new york city there's really so much else to do...* and her commenting friends. And guest blogger.

Handy website
Here's a list, straight from the Vatican's website, of Doctrinal Documents from the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, a.k.a., the list of Church statements on various things, like certain theological positions, liberation theology, homosexuality, abortion, etc.
I draw to your attention:* Men & Women in collaboration (i.e., us as vital helpmates. yee-haw!)
* Same sex marriage
* Hysterectomies - good if mom in danger, bad if just for sterilization.
* 'Respect for Life' - blarg. (Compare to the Jesuit statement, Standing for the Unborn, which emphasizes need for strong social safety net, public education, etc. Well, yeah, still pro-life.)
* Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons - yup, the act is still wrong; the inclination itself, well, sketchy, so better keep reminding 'em that the act is morally illicit!
* Liberation Theology - apparently not good as theology.
Oh well. I miss Doug the Jesuit.
