“The reality for many of us who grew up in Vatican Il’s wake is that we never experi­ enced that which made Catholicism truly distinctive, and so now there’s a real hunger in my generation and younger for a vibrant Catholic culture,” Henold said. According to Henold, her position could be m isinter­ preted as an argument to return to the days before the second Vatican Council. Instead, what she would like to see is a re tu rn to a teach­ ing of Church history. Senior Carolyn Madison said she has had many strong role models in her life and in her faith, particularly her mother and grandmother. These roles, however, are no longer sufficient in a modern Church, Madison said. “There are many positions in which women can make a difference, can inspire others, can lead someone to a better union with Christ,” Madison said. “However, [these are] positions in which women are restricted in their actions and — 1 1 1 1 m u M m these women desire more.” Senior Sarah Brown recounted her most memo­ rable childhood experiences as a Catholic, bringing the gifts up to the altar and being asked to serve as a cross bearer during mass. “These feelings of having been included and taken seri­ ously in the Church are both what made me Catholic and what keeps me Catholic,” Brown said. Brown said that while she feels fortunate to have been given certain roles within the Church as a woman, the Church still fails to include them on an equal level. “When I watch CNN inter­ view members of the leader­ ship of the Church on the sig­ nificance of the death of the Pope and I see no women approached, I do not feel included,” Brown said. “I do not feel as if my voice is being taken seriously.” Brown told the audience the Church must make a place for women at every level. “The Church that 1 want, as a woman, is one that works to make women’s voices and women’s experiences includ­ ed and taken seriously in every arena of the Church — from carrying the gifts of the Eucharist during mass, to leading the Church in its deci­ sion making.”
