Sista Pride: Divas of Distinction

Take a guess. A special series airing on Lifetime? A vh1 Behind the Music special on Rue Paul? No, this one comes to us from Saint Joan Antida, an all-girls Catholic high school in Milwaukee. I'd love to peruse the book club reading list for the worthies of the Sista Pride bunch. Call it a hunch, but I doubt it would include topics like the merits of John Paul II's New Feminism or the philosophy of Edith Stein. We've discussed before on this blog the lamentable decomposition of Catholic identity at most Catholic schools. A worthwhile question: Should a father want his daughter to aspire to divahood? Liberal hokum like this will only end when responsible parents stand up and say "Enough!"


Here's a link to an article by Mary Ann Glendon (now serving as U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See) that takes a look at JPII's New Feminism. Perhaps someone can pass it on to the soul Sistas of St. Joan Antida.
