After growing up immersed in feminism and a dissident parish
\nthat left her deeply unhappy, Melody Lyons found truth and healing
\nin the fullness of Christ’s teaching on man and woman. Yet after
\ndecades of no longer considering herself a feminist, she started
\ndescribing herself as a “Catholic feminist” in order to find common
\nground with secular women.<\/p>\n
Melody has recently realized that this strategy is
\ncounterproductive. What’s worse, today’s “Catholic feminism”,
\nostensibly designed to be compatible with the faith, is starting to
\nlook eerily similar the dissident old guard she grew up with.<\/p>\n
Melody joins the show to discuss her conversion, the deviant
\nspirituality of feminism, and the renewed popularity of dissidents
\nfrom decades past among young, female Catholic
\n“influencers”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She also explains how she found freedom in Pope St. John Paul
\nII’s writings on women, and how his scant rhetorical references to
\n“true feminism” have been misinterpreted to justify the creation of
\na movement more rooted in secular thinking than in Christ.<\/p>\n
Melody’s core message: The Gospel is sufficient.\u00a0<\/p>\n
