Catholic bloggers and others are rallying to support yet another Catholic smeared by right-wing Catholic media last week. Rebecca Bratten Weiss believes the same colleagues who gathered “evidence” for the negative article about her also contributed to her adjunct teaching contract not being renewed this year.

Weiss, an adjunct literature professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio and a co-founder of the “New Pro-Life Movement,” which tries to connect abortion and other life issues, was the subject of a 3,000-word article that starts out as an indictment of the “seamless garment” approach but quickly becomes a personal attack of her.

Ever since she spoke out against some pro-lifers’ support of Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election, Bratten Weiss has been criticized by Catholics on the extreme right, so she has been “meticulous about not saying anything that could be used against me,” she told NCR.
