Margaret Mary O’Connor has made it her mission to reveal the truth of Your Catholic Church.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University At Buffalo (NY), and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, NY. She is a former Chaplain and is currently a Eucharistic Minister at Our Lady of Charity Parish where, ironically, the Church windows depict the Vatican II Council. One window represents the “Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World,” which includes an article that speaks directly to ending sexual discrimination of all kinds in our Church.
In this time of Church upheaval, O’Connor, as author of Scandal in the Shadows, has uncovered secrets which were conveniently buried away in hopes they would never see the light of day.
Enter Margaret Mary O’Connor. O’Connor literally “walks the walk” on picket lines to help keep this issue of Women’s Ordination in the forefront of Catholics’ minds. She also pickets for Church accountability on the priest sexual-abuse issue. As a fellow member of the Laity, herself, she believes any Catholic, deserves at minimal at least the truth from Rome, as opposed to the continual outright deception they are receiving. She also is a member of Call to Action, Future Church, Roman Catholic Women Priests, the Women’s Ordination Conference, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), Preservation Buffalo Niagara and Western New York Land Conservancy and Buffalo Central Terminal.
Margaret truly encountered a life-altering experience she will never forget. Living twenty years with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease, her life was literally hell. Beyond the daily physical symptoms to deal with, were the emotional ones as well. She was told by two doctors that basically her physical symptoms of vomiting, great loss of weight, anemia, and diarrhea (to name a few) were all in her head. The doctor she really needed to see, they told her, was a Psychiatrist. It’s truly a miracle she is alive today, thanks to finally finding a doctor who actually ordered tests to find the reason for her illness – which turned out to be celiac disease. She will never forget when her doctor told her she would have been “six feet under” within six months.
Her twin-sister Pat, had brain cancer, and never got to have that second chance at life. But Margaret feels incredibly fortunate to have her life back again. It’s like she is seeing life from a new and different perspective, and every moment has become wonderfully precious. All she knew was that after losing twenty years of her life to sickness, to now being free to begin again was incredible.
Today she lives life to the fullest and her latest adventure is writing, something she had never done before. She knows from experience that having her own story ignored is the reason she brings a visceral passion to her writing. If one side of a story is ignored, you will miss its reality and truth. Her book “Scandal in the Shadows,” brings forth the very truth of a Church issue which indeed will impact on your own future faith life.
When not writing, speaking or being interviewed by the media, O’Connor enjoys gardening, and reading mystery books, along with volunteering for Pete’s Pillows and Alzheimer’s events.

I think that the majority of people in the world are supernatural, angelic, heavenly, divine creation beings, the temples of empathy, the synagogues of empathy, the churches of empathy, and the mosques of empathy. I am for the human rights, the civil rights, the political rights, the economic rights, the social rights, and the cultural rights of people of all religions, all faiths, and all spiritualities. I enjoy my interpersonal relationships with believers. I don’t mind experiencing divinity in a variety of houses of worship. I left institutional religion to be a humanized version of Christlikeness. In other words, I left Christianity to follow Christ Jesus. I am hopeful for Christian Universalism, Universal reconciliation, and Unitarian Universalism. I don’t want to pick a religion because that means eternal doom for billions of humans.

Notes: I am an original blessing, I am not an original sin. I'm blessing-natured, not sin-natured.
I have a humanistic psychology with my humanistic values.
I live by Higher consciousness, Christ Consciousness, universal consciousness, and cosmic consciousness. I sense myself to be intrigued by Hinduism, Ultimate Spirit, metaphysics, and Life force (energy).
I an open-minded, adventurous, non-traditional, unconventional, and non-judgmental by nature.
I am primarily attracted to a person’s inner beauty.
I am blocking rules and restrictions that unhealthily limit me from living holistically.
I honor gender pronouns when it comes to all people.
I fancy human beach bodies, my sexual choices vary, and If I like you, I like you.
I am against heteronormativity, heterosexism, and the gender binary because I am for gender and sexual diversity.
Trans women are women!!
As a child, I was whupped by those in black adult female bodies who raped me. They whupped me without my parents knowledge at the time, without my parents' consent at the time, they never met my parents, and they never interacted with my parents. There was no such as "the village" for the most part in my childhood. The only village I had at that time was my Grandma Clara and school. From personal experience, there are some black folks (black child abusers) who hijack old school black culture. They may not whoop for the same reasons that you whoop. Unfortunately, many people make hate look like love. Tragically, defending wrong happens.
Why aren't old-schoolers whooping adults? Adults are the main ones keeping everyone from having health care!
I must say that if adults cannot get whooped, neither should children (children truly can't consent to whoopings.) Besides, you're not struck every time you misbehave in the real world. I'd say removal of privileges is the most consistent proper disciplinary method when it comes to real life.
Growing up I heard: Exodus 20:12: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." I also heard Ephesians 6:1-3:"1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3“so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
But I did not hear: Ephesians 6:4 "4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." That applies to mothers too. Why can't adults and children honoring each other be considered equally important? I think the lack of equal importance is one of the causes of child abuse.
I don't think old-schoolers should go around telling any and everyone that they whoop kids. My relatives should have never told me which of my cousins got whooped growing up. Children are entitled to the human right of privacy. The whole "you can't close doors' in my house can be one of the causes of child sex crimes.
Instead of trying to prove how grown and sexy you are, you ought to be leading through service and sacrifice?

"Background Information
Entrepreneur, Business Professional, Mother of two, and accidental author of Sexual Intelligence in Business. Bobbi felt compelled to write this book in response to the new obstacles we all face in a #metoo era and what appears to be a new form of sexual repression brewing. Eternally outspoken, she was inspired by Women and Gender Studies at McGill University and her lived experience building a business in a male-dominated sector. Earning a degree in Political Science affords her a diverse lens to view the world and how people, institutions, organizations make decisions and navigate power relations. Bobbi is a strong advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion, and co-founded WIN4Science, to encourage young women scientists to remain in academia. Bobbi has worked in nearly every sector, industry, corporate, non-profit, government, arts, academia, startup and venture capital and acquired education from over six institutions in areas of humanities, accounting, arts, and social enterprise. This gives Bobbi a wide spectrum of knowledge and experience that is extremely unique...oh the stories she tells! Taking this expertise and insights, Bobbi created imagine ideation, a firm that moves ideas forward by connected experiences and ecosystem diplomacy. With such an intensely varied background, she is able to facilitate discussions between sectors and disciplines that may not normally understand each other. As a natural networker and constant connector, Bobbi participates as a mentor to startups, taking on board member and advisory roles. There is much to accomplish in this world, and it is important to Bobbi that she makes a positive contribution to society and that her work has impact. Bobbi believes strongly that Love, Sex and Power in Business are the engines that drive everything. We cannot separate these primal components. As a girl from Saskatchewan, Bobbi hopes that her legacy and contribution to society will reflect her efforts in breaking down sexual taboos. As a change agent and a fierce sex-positive advocate, Bobbi is fighting for a sex-friendly world, one opinion at a time.
