Modern culture often pits men and women against each other — and even Christians are getting caught in the polarization. In this video, Brian unpacks the roots of anti-Catholic slander, the failures of radical feminism, the resentments forming among young men, and how the Christian tradition—not paganism, not secularism—offers the only real path toward healing between the sexes.
Along the way, he explains why the Church has never taught that women are soulless or inferior, how Christianity historically elevated the dignity of women, and why faithful women’s voices (including in Catholic media) remain important today.
