Le Sort Des Femmes: Ou L'Infortunee Enize, Nouvelle Apologie Du Beau Sexe (1797)

As Helen Oesterle, M.Div., director of faith formation at St. James Cathedral, said as this collection was in progress: I think it is wonderful that such beautiful poetry can be written out of this material. These are the soul-searching questions inquirers to the Catholic faith tradition bring to faith formation classes–all kinds of people from no religious background at all to those highly-trained in biblical traditions (and even Hindu and Islamic backgrounds). And yet, not only for beginners, there is material for even the advanced in faith knowledge (as noted by a particular archbishop). These are sticky questions and soul-searing questions. Yes, there are many and varied questions that many of the Protestants and even those Catholics who have left the Church have longed to ask. Adding to this, they are answered in the love and warmth of a poetical style that you will read again and again.
