Wouldn’t it be great if you could just buy a “product” that would make you a better Catholic?
Sorry, but life doesn’t work that way.
Stefanick is the fad-of-the-day in Catholic media. He’ll be gone soon.
I stumbled on this site from the Blessed Is She site. I was interested in this topic and had to watch. I so agree that men today have a real struggle to know what they are supposed to be. As a woman, it breaks my heart to see how society, and to a great extent, women, have put men in the position of almost having to deny their masculinity. Thank God for men like you and Chris for the work you are doing. Know that you have many women praying for you and others like you. May God richly bless you in this important ministry.

Absolutely – let’s rise up.
Let’s reform the church so it can be rescued from its self-destructive tendencies.
Let’s start with married clergy (after all, priestly celibacy only became a serious point of disagreement between the Eastern Orthodox and the Western Roman Catholic churches post A.D. 1054). Then we could ordain women. There is evidence that women were deacons within the Christian community. For example, Paul’s letter to the Romans, written in the first century CE, mentions a woman deacon:
“I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae.” — Rom 16:1,
The current practice is revisionism.
Let’s reform a patriarchy that has supported child abuse in the church across the world. Where I live, (Australia) is a prime example, although there is a history of this everywhere, including Ireland and the USA – https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/
I write this as a Vietnam veteran, a retired school principal, and a practising Catholic, married since 1976 and with four children.
My qualifications to comment are as credible as yours, Sam, and I am angry at what the church has become. If this decline continues, the sea of grey that I see each Sunday in my local parish, will quickly transform into empty pews.
