The Trinity and gender<\/h1>\n

Recently Father James Martin, S.J. tweeted two items regarding the Holy Spirit as feminine.<\/p>\n

In response Darwin Catholic<\/em> has an excellent response looking at Sex, Grammar and the Holy Spirit<\/a>. Well worth reading and shows the silliness of Father\u2019s bit of what I would call Twitter Trolling<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In related news another priest Retweeted Fr. Martin\u2019s tweet and subsequently threatened to sue a blogger who posted about this tweet and another of his<\/a> celebrating Ireland\u2019s passing of same-sex-so-called-marriage. Subsequent update from the women blogger involved regarding an exchange with Fr. Dan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In response to the Anglican\u2019s possible change to calling God \u201cMother\u201d, see Fr. Longenecker\u2019s Twelve Reasons Why You Can\u2019t Call God \u201cMother\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bruce Jenner and beyond<\/h1>\n

Yesterday social media was awash with the Vanity Fair cover of Bruce Jenner as Caitlyn. I definitely could have used a Vanity Fair filter yesterday. Lots of puns came to mind regarding his last name as a rhyme with gender to me, I wish prayer came to me as easily. Still I had no intention of posting on this at all.<\/p>\n

That is until I saw Thomas L. McDonald\u2019s post What Should We Call Bruce Jenner?<\/a>. This is an excellent look regarding this which takes seriously the question in the title.<\/p>\n

With transgender issues being the hot topic right now, Wesley J. Smith looks at another piece of word engineering regarding \u201ctransability\u201d<\/a> and the media\u2019s use of \u201ctransabled\u201d to refer to those who suffer with Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
