Resplendent and unfading is Wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her,” Book of Wisdom, 6:12
Paul Leingang, who expertly does the Wisdom Wednesdays, is traveling out of the USA at present, so instead of the usual rich array of articles, this week’s Wisdom Wednesday is devoted to an excellent report that was given at the 2022 AUSCP Assembly in June by Fr. John Heagle on behalf of the AUSCP Gospel Nonviolent Working Group.
We invite you to read the full report, and to review the proposal titled Artisans of Peace, this week by clicking the buttons below.
Welcome to Wisdom Wednesday the 13th, leading off with three opinion strikes against the Supreme Court. We look also at women’s news, the death penalty, and updates from around the country.
On Wisdom Wednesday this first week of July, we offer a few moments of reflection on summer celebrations. Items this week also include a look at what Americans think of America, and what others think of us.
Abortion, guns, prayer at the football field, PRIDE month, copper mining on sacred Apache ground. What a week! Welcome to Wisdom Wednesday, the first week after our assembly in Baltimore. Wisdom Wednesday readers know a lot about the church; this week we offer an interactive question, courtesy of Pew Research, to find out what you know about the world.
Welcome to Wisdom Wednesday, a special edition during the week of the annual assembly of the AUSCP. We will try to provide updates, but in the meantime, following are some items prepared earlier – on the environment, God and guns, Pius XII and Hitler, Vatican II and today’s Catholics, Polynesian agro-forestry and a suggestion from Pope Francis for a year-long marriage catechumenate.”
Wisdom Wednesday pours out plenty to ponder – including rumors of papal retirement, a plea to stop wasting food, the spiritual benefit of yoga, and the three faces of women on American coins. But we begin with an invitation to take some time to observe Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
Topics this week include gun violence (of course) but also witchcraft, the first female rabbi, a good thing about the pandemic, the Black nun who was told to pass for White, and how heresy hunting may have halted. And, oh yes, God Save the Queen (and other women in religious leadership)!
