1) In your own words, what was this reading about?
This reading was about the founding of the Sister's of Notre Dame and the life which encompasses the founders both Julie and Francoise.
2) Which woman did you find most interesting and why?
Francoise. This is because she had a life of aristocratic priviledge and chose to help others.
3) Which could you relate to most closely and why?
I could relate to both. I've had the priviledge to access good education like Francoise while over coming a disability like Julie.
4) Compare the educational backgrounds of the two women.
Francoise had a great education and went to boarding schools. Her education prepared her for motherhood and wifehood.
Julie had some education, but not as in depth as Francoise. It was mainly that of Catholic teachings.
5) How would you describe Francoises’s attitude toward her own money and privilege?
Francoise was more renounceful of it.
6) How would you describe Julie’s attitude toward her disability?
Julie's disability did not hold her back as she was able to meet and educate others. However, inside I'm sure she had days where she was upset as I can relate.
7) What opportunities existed for women at this time?
More of gender roles. It was common for women to marry. If a woman wandered the streets unmarried she was considered a temptress.
8) What lessons do the experiences of these women hold for us today?
It was interesting to see how Julie and Francoise used their differences for a common good.

The overall concept behind the 9 themes of Catholic Social Teaching resides in the idea of living a psychologically healthy and wholesome life. Personally, I have always wanted to convert to Christianity, but have had trouble in the aspect of faith. This chapter allows one to look at Catholicism in terms of the church's teachings which further that of Jesus in the modern era. A range of social justice issues are debated: human dignity, common good and participation, family life, governmental role, property ownership, labor, colonialism and economic development, peace, and options for the needy. The chapter's elements suggest that faith should be based on beliefs rather than on the effort to draw faith from the miracles of Jesus. Faith should create a good life for the believer and the surrounding society.
* Unsure that blogging is needed for these two reading assignments.
