A photo of the "Occupy" protest in Rome (here)
I have been participating in (Blogger Note: O.W.S. was originally and is still associated with the US Day of Rage!)" Occupy Wall Street since 30 September (my first post about it is here), and was most recently on site at Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan on Friday the 14th. (My post imagining Occupy Wall Street being applied to the Catholic Church is here, picked up by the "Chronicle of Higher Education" blog here.)Among other fundamentally irreversible influences in my life, it was my Catholic upbringing, Catholic religious education, and Catholic graduate studies at Harvard Divinity School and at Boston College, that laid the spiritual and intellectual groundwork for me to be able to recognize, in Occupy Wall Street, a possible shared work of corporal and spiritual mercy, a potential place for practicing solidarity, and a plausible habitat for more deeply and experientially learning and living love's public name: justice.Because of this background, I am drawn in particular to the practices and rituals that help those of us at Occupy Wall Street to appreciate and to try to act on reality. These actions and performances bear the movement's theologies or spiritualities as much as any explicit statement on the part of any single person about what they do or do not believe.LINK (HERE) TO READ THE FULL POST AT THE LITURGICAL
