The Women The Vatican Could Not Silence. Dr Mary McAleese and Sister Joan Chittister in conversation

[@myramurphy3933]

I am listening. It is April 2024....thank you, Ursala, Mary and Joan, for your example, courage, and determination for change and growth in our faith community.

[@Ms16111976]

This is absolutely amazing. I could watching this again and again. Thank you

[@MM-qu3im]

Just great. Thank you. Shared this video with many people over the past two years.

[@sr.NadiaKroon]

Encouraging and informative. Thank you!

[@deirdretuohy7403]

Thank you Joan and Mary for speaking up and out and to all the men and women who also speak up and out against injustice in the everyday situations of their lives. The Gospel of Jesus continues to challenge the unfair, unjust structures that attempt to silence the love of God made visible in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, for all people, women and men. A blessing on your work and on the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers who live out the Gospel message in and despite the confusion of the Church, only using words where necessary.

Wish Mary could get a radio channel or u tube channel we need her learning and wisdom to keep us motivated

[@paddychristy3]

Motivated for what Maureen?? Jesus Christ she has lost the plot altogether... Do you really think that Mary McAleese is more intelligent and divinely inspired than the whole Church??? She thinks she is God?? But fortunately for us she is not and God is God..

A woman with a rear gunner son and she blames the Church. Get a life Mary you pathetic woman. Tell your useless son to get a girlfriend.

You are unfaithful.

@@seanmaccionnaith3458 Fair play duit, A Sheáin. Mary is the antithesis of the suffering St. Monica. These anti Christians need to be confronted. God bless.

The Church is starving for women's wisdom.

[@studiokohlindia]

Yes!

[@paddychristy3]

What is "women's wisdom"?? Please enlighten me...

[@eddieharrington4342]

Yes, and all the hysteria at this misnomer "We are Church" moan-in is just a display of schismatic female hysterical heterodoxy. There is not ONE Catholic amongst them.

[@BlessYouAngel]

Starting with the Immaculate Heart of Mary (definitely not Mary MacAleese :) )

[@AV-tm5zf]

Wisdom is subjective.

[@vandrosiglio]

please speak into your mic

[@fruticetum]

If you oppose teachings of the Catholic Church, you are NOT a practicing Catholic and do NOT speak for the Catholic Church.

[@irishguy9311]

Well by Church Law, and law of the Land you cannot Uncatholicise (not even a word I know, but you get my drift) yourself! Dr Mc Aleese is a hero of Ireland, our country needs to stand up to this invasion finally, The Vatican, which really is the last standing part of the Roman Empire today… It’s couldn’t invade us physically, but managed to do it mentally, through their made up story of a Jesus Christ, and ever since like any other invasion, has constantly down through the ages committed War Crimes in Ireland, through the severe mistreatment of our citizens and most importantly our children and people must be aware of the financial raping of our old people that the Catholic Church has taking part in for many many years that nobody cares to highlight… All spoils of War shipped off to Rome/The Vatican… With the current state of our climate, we should go back to our pagan ways and start worshiping our land and planet!!!

[@sonicspring6448]

Two wonderful women with a holy anger coupled with a wicked sense of humour.

[@solgoode1]

Well, you got the wicked part right.

[@rosasoria6049]

Sister Joan, death women count in the Catholic church, because they are death. It is very hard to hear the discrimination we, women still experiencing today everywhere. Blessings to you and Mary . God bless you all.

[@noraoconnor1895]

Is'nt that the problem,, my church, ur church, brought up in the catholic church thinking we were the only true church superior to any other religion, looking back now i think what a terrible message, no wonder we had religious wars all through history.!!

[@rosasoria6049]

Mary, they don't want you to talk about the truth, the real issues. They want to keep treating us as a second class citizens. God bless all, and I pray to God that some day we are equally important. I noticed that every time a person speak with passion; people think we must be angry. Blessings to you and everyone speaking of these subjects.

[@jackieann5494]

She said she loves the Jesus STORY . She's not a believer .

[@solgoode1]

She is a total fraud. Prideful, arrogant, and misleading.

[@kevo5512]

The worst thing to happen Mc Aleese is that her son turned out gay. I dont think she has gotten over this. Is this noise she is making all a front for more underlying problems in her life. Everyone has a choice in life including Mary Mc Aleese. Stay in the church, leave the church, who cares just make a decision and get on with it. At the end of the day the only life that will matter will be her own and the book of life. The book of the lamb, so Mary stop cackling and get on with your own life and stop trying to spread your ideologies on others.

[@maureenoconnor4430]

Facebook is asking if Mary can give number and page for the quote from John Paul 11 Love and responsibility she cited during the conversation it was about a man's right to sexual act even when the partner/wife is asleep or even unconscious

[@donallawlor2407]

The quotation is on page 271 of Love and Responsibility a book that Karol Wojtyla wrote in 1960 when he was a bishop. I had read this book many years ago and this was not the tenor of the book that I recalled. I took it down from my bookshelf and found that quotation in the final chapter on ‘Sexology and Ethics’. In this chapter the author is looking at what the science of sexology says about the sexual act and then looking at this from an ethical point of view. This quotation was about what sexology says but what Mrs McAleese omitted was his follow up comments on the ethical view which he outlines later in the same paragraph. “From the point of view of another person, from the altruistic standpoint, it is necessary to insist that intercourse must not serve merely as a means of allowing sexual excitement to reach its climax in one of the partners. i.e. the man alone, but that climax must be reached in harmony, not at the expense of one partner, but with both partners fully involved”. I am disappointed Mary gave completely the wrong impression of the thinking of Pope John Paul II who spent his life teaching respect for the human person. She should correct the record!

@@donallawlor2407 But Donal that would presume that she's still got the capacity to recognise truth. I suspect that this has been sacrificed on her altar of self-adoration.

@@paddychristy3 How? In what way? grains of sand in an oyster create a pearl and in the end both are valuable. I agree with Sr Joan. Also,the Holy Spirit is alive and often shows in the opinions of those we may disagree with.

[@paddychristy3]

Mary McAleese has really lost it... I'm sorry but she sounds desperate...

Having watched the entire video, I disagree with your opinion
