Religion has become a problem for many, including myself. It is disturbing to hear politicians advocate for positions supported by the religious right while distancing themselves from policies that reflect commonly accepted religious values, as evidenced by the Beatitudes.
Joan Chittister continues to be a convincing advocate for the values underlying religion without disowning her identity as a Catholic nun.
Wishing that there were more like her, for the moment, I am grateful that she continues to speak out for the values that will make a difference in how our nation survives.
