Be heard by bishops

So much to post about as the evil of sex abuse continues to blow up all over the country . . . But first, something with a deadline. Anne Y. Koester of the Georgetown Center for Liturgy advises the USCCB Committee on Women in the Church and in Society, and she's presenting to the bishops on the concerns of Catholic women in Generation Y. If you were born with two X chromosomes after 1982, email her at aky2(at)georgetown(dot)edu with thoughts, including but not limited to answers to the following questions. Ms. Koester is nice, and this is a great opportunity to speak truth to power.

1a. What do you find most fulfilling or most meaningful about being
Catholic?



1b. What do you find least fulfilling or least meaningful about being
Catholic?



2a. What does the Catholic Church offer that is helpful to you as a
young woman of Generation Y?



2b. What does the Catholic Church need to offer that it presently does
not for it to be helpful to you?



3. What questions do you have for Church leaders (ordained and lay), or
stated differently, what do you believe Church leaders need most to pay
attention to in the contemporary U.S. Church and in the larger society?



Please feel free to add any other comments you might have that are not
covered by these questions.
