I love all the interviews with Dr. Favale. I do wish she hadn’t been interrupted, but I AM glad the other guests are passionate about the topic.

Would have enjoyed more (and gained more) if the panel would have let the guest speak more. Interruptions cut short her explanations.

[@banquo80s99]

What an edifying discussion.

If gendering is harming people, it will be challenged. People are more important than the labels.

The Catholic teaching is not a view or a world view. It is the truth and the standard. A view only means a version of something that is defined differently by others or as she puts it “a paradigm.”

[@susanbreeding1855]

I am a Christian who does not happen to be Catholic. I think it shows Christ-like humility to speak with courtesy & humility about subjects about which many honest persons may disagree. They seem to do that but you do not. Jesus himself had all truth yet he always had humility.

[@domingomelchor4902]

@@susanbreeding1855 When Dr. Martin says, "she's a pest" (speaking of Judith Butler), and "the woman does not exist", is that humility toward the feminists, to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? When Dr. Favale speaks of gender view as a paradigm (a way of seeing things), that there is a shift from the Creator to the man as the creator, she speaks without being humble to the proponents of gender and feminist theories. All I'm saying is that, if we are to talk about paradigms, we need to define the truth or the true way of seeing things, the standard. There are paradigms, views, or world views and there is the truth. We can go in circles speaking about what a woman is: to Justice Jackson, to a biologist, to a feminist, to a Catholic, to a Protestant, to a Muslim, to an atheist, and to whoever, but without the standard truth, we are in a "meandering journey" in useless pursuits. There is only one truth. And you will absolutely agree with me what it is. No, it is not a what; He is a who. The truth is, you said it, our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ; "he has all the truth". And where does He speak his truth? Does he speak in the bible? Absolutely. Where else does he speak his truth? In his Church. And here is where you say that I am not being humble because I'm saying that the Catholic teaching is not just a view but the truth. It is hard for a non-Catholic to accept this. What is the Church if she does not speak the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ? What is she if it is only one alternative to many world views? What is the Church if she does not have the authority to teach? If we reduce the Church to relativism or individualism that only the individual determines what is true or not, we, again, are journeying meanderingly on meaningless pursuits. Dr. Favale found the truth in the Church. And Jesus indeed spoke humbly, but he is also uncompromising.

Butler, a woman, wishes to eliminate her own sec when, in fact, all babies are female first?!?

[@mollym6375]

Dr. Martin is a little chatty lol

[@ashleynovels]

Dr Martin was so cringey. How can you not know who Judith Butler is? And calling a Supreme Court justice a silly woman is exactly why women don’t listen to people like him. Dr. Favale did a great job trying to explain basic feminist concepts to the men on the panel.
