We are cells in the body of humanity, and what we do to one another we do to ourselves. The new story is one of interdependence, shared purpose, and sacred relationship with all Life." — Nancy Roof, Kosmos Journal (1929-2025) One Sacred Community Mary Southard CSJ Ministry of the Arts * 2025 * 10th Anniversary of Laudato Si' on Care of the Planet and Integral Ecology and 5th Anniversary of Fratelli Tutti on Solidarity and Integral Human Development PATRIARCHY is a deeply ingrained gender ideology with nefarious social and ecological repercussions. There can be no integral human development, and no integral ecology, as long as patriarchy and religious patriarchy lurk in the collective unconscious. For 1.4B Catholics, 1 November 2025 will mark the 75th Anniversary of the dogma of the ASSUMPTION of Mary of Nazareth. This would be a good time to transcend OT priestly patriarchy.
