Candid Catholic ConvosCan You Be a Catholic AND a Feminist? feat. Samantha Povlock, FemCatholicSecular feminism has had an often negative connotation throughout the decades of the women's movement. But feminism doesn’t have to mean Butler, Sanger or de Beauvoir. It can mean the Teresas (of Avila, Lisieux, Calcutta and the cross), it can mean Gianna and Gemma and Joan. It can mean the teachings of the church and of JPII on the inherent dignity of women, the right of women to pursue their callings and the end of violence against women. Today, Samantha Povlock of FemCatholic joins us to help unravel and embrace this new integrated version of being a woman.
