AS201 Ask Sister – nunly church leaders, stressed in Heaven, missing Mass, hemmed in by motherhood

Topics:

AS201 Ask Sister podcast recorded live. Hosted by Sister Maxine, with guest Sister Carol Inkrott, OSF.

(2:00) What does a pastoral leader in a parish do?

(7:50) Listener: Eternity in heaven sounds good, but when I think of doing anything forever, even trout fishing, it's scary. Should I be afraid?

(15:20) Awesome music break: Dolly Parton sings Led Zepplin's "Stairway to Heaven."

(16:45) Listener: How does God help you in tough times?

(19:30) Listener: What is the parish's attitude toward you as a pastoral leader who's a woman? And how do you work with priests regarding the sacraments?

(22:30) Listener: My Catholic church got closed, and it's 30 miles to another one. Can I watch mass on TV or go to the Lutheran church here in town instead?

(29:50) Christianity mash-up vs. true ecumenism.

(33:30) "Church coffee" as a way to build the parish community.

(38:20) Listener: For Catholic women, why does it seem like the church values motherhood more than single life?

(45:00) What does it mean to say that we are the church.
