Catechize the Whole Woman


A response to: More to Feminine Genius

Amen to the writer of this comment. I just yesterday sent a similar comment to my diocese's office of evangelization and catechesis, which seemed to constantly be holding "women's events" which were almost always about sex and reproduction. I begged them to balance the need/drive to catechize on these matters with a consideration that the spiritual needs of women are much broader than this. There is a risk of reducing women to their biology. I am a 30-year-old laywoman informally dedicated to celibate chastity for the kingdom of God (unable to enter religious life for health reasons).
