Human Agency & Political Ecology

2024.Page1.Banner.jpg
Practice nonviolence, responsible parenthood, minimal consumption, energy conservation, social and political engagement. "We are not isolated individuals. 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

* 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.
