Emily Wilson on Modesty, Body Image, and Catholic Dating
Youth for Truth
The way we teach modesty is broken. For years, Catholic women heard one message: "Cover up so men don't sin." But what if that approach misses the point entirely? In this special episode, Emily Wilson joins Fr. Simon, Fr. Chris, and Andrew to completely re-frame the modesty conversation—moving away from shame and toward dignity. If you are tired of the "Modesty Police" or feel pressured by a culture that equates showing skin with female power, this conversation is the breath of fresh air you need. We focus on why your identity is not your sexuality, the cultural pressures to conform, and why men aren't off the hook when it comes to the virtue of modesty.
