Episode #36- December 6, 2021: Feminism and Catholic Social Justice Teaching
Coffee & Catholics: A Catholic Women's Talk Show Podcast
This is our final episode of this series on Catholic Social Justice Teaching. In this episode Alisha, Annie, Lauren, and Stacy discuss Feminism through the lens of Rights and Responsibilities and Solidarity, both being themes of Catholic Social Justice Teaching. We discuss the roots of feminism and how the rhetoric has shifted since the 60s and 70s. We propose that we as Catholics should be working together to refocus the feminist conversation back from narrowed personal gains to that of a wider global sustainability.
