I was interviewed for this story. Spoiler alert: the Eucharist should not be used to exclude or punish.
The women wore rainbow masks to Mass to support a teacher fired from a Catholic school because she is in a same-sex relationship. The archdiocese said that shows the women are "not in communion with Christ." Reporting from @KatieCScott here:

I participated in this conversation. I hope it does some good #gender #transgender #moraltheology #theologicalethics
This summer, amid a growing debate about gender identity in the United States, @americamag asked two professors of theology to revisit the 2019 Vatican document on “‘gender theory in education.” https://t.co/7KpfaCq4YF

My 4 yo burst into tears yesterday when I told her that her preschool class would be having a Zoom meeting today. “Too many Zooms,” she sobbed. She is all of us.

Well great. My 4 yo saw my husband looking at this tweet, and now she wants this dog.
I am strangely relaxed about this unfinished #AAR proposal due in less than four hours. I should probably be more concerned.

I can’t stop thinking about Linda Zagzebski’s theory of moral exemplarity, in which she holds up Jean Vanier as a moral exemplar. Now what? Much work to be done on moral exemplarity.
theglobeandmail.com
A summary report of an independent investigation conducted by a U.K.-based consulting firm says Vanier had ‘manipulative sexual relationships’ over course of 35 years

When I meet young girls on the campaign trail, I tell them, "I'm Elizabeth Warren, and I'm running for president because that's what girls do." Then we pinkie promise so they remember. I can't wait for a #PresidentsDay not too long from now, when they're all running, too!

Student, to another student: “I’m so over theology classes. I’m not even religious.” Me, to myself: “Challenge accepted!” <Plans discussion of Trump’s “Christian” rhetoric for Christian Ethics class today>
