as a Catholic ...
It saddens me when people are surprised to discover the fact -- the reason for their surprise being: I'm female and I think for myself. Why is this such a surprising thing? Does my faith really have that strong a stereotype in non-Catholic circles? As a Catholic, I have never felt that my being female limited me in anyway within the Church, nor have I felt like I could not think for myself. In fact, I believe that if I did not think for myself that I would harm my being Catholic. The Church Fathers thought for themselves, why can't I? Just because I turn to Tradition for my grounding does not mean that I do not have the capacity to think, nor does it mean that the Church will condemn me for doing so.

That's all I wanted to say.

'Til next time ...

I love you Batman @}~~',~~
