Mother Pelican A Journal of Solidarity and Sustainability Vol. 21, No. 10, October 2025 The End of "Business As Usual"? We are not living in an era of change. What we are experiencing is the end of an era. The patriarchal phase of human history is passing away, and we have to make a choice. The choice is between solidarity and sustainability, or domination and self-destruction. It is time for a cultural revolution, from patriarchal domination to sustainable solidarity. Speak up. Practice nonviolence. Stop buying nonessential things. Protest peacefully. One Sacred Community Mary Southard CSJ Ministry of the Arts * 2025 * 10th Anniversary of Laudato Si' on Care of the Planet and Integral Ecology and 5th Anniversary of Fratelli Tutti on Solidarity and Integral Human Development PATRIARCHY is a deeply ingrained gender ideology with nefarious social and ecological repercussions. There can be no integral human development, and no integral ecology, as long as patriarchy and religious patriarchy lurk in the collective unconscious. For 1.4B Catholics, 1 November 2025 will mark the 75th Anniversary of the dogma of the ASSUMPTION of Mary of Nazareth. This would be a good time to transcend OT priestly patriarchy. What is degrowth?
