  • Theological Perspective

    I have been following the (deeply troubling) gender issue for quite some time, and what I appreciate about Abigail Favale is that she provides a theological perspective that I have found lacking elsewhere. I previously read her book on this topic, and although I am not a Catholic, I found her discourse on the theology of the body compelling and offering a deeper understanding of the source of this problem. Her approach is at once compassionate and profound. I now find myself moved to learn mo... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2. Gender & Generativity | The Gender Accompaniment Project
Q: How does the personalist hermeneutic relate to embodiment and relationships in defining mature masculinity or femininity?
Maturity involves relational identities—being a faithful son, brother, husband, and father—where agency and self-giving love are exercised within embodied life.
2. Gender & Generativity | The Gender Accompaniment Project
Q: What about people who don't marry or have children—are they left out of the Church's vision of gender and generativity?
The discussion explores celibacy as a legitimate vocation that participates in the Church's spousal and generative language, with Jesus' teaching on eunuchs illustrating how unmarried lives can still image the gospel economy of love and fruitfulness.
