20. The Gender Debate, The Feminine Genius and Nuns in Pop Culture with Sister Helena Burns, fsp
Veil + Armour: Exploring Holiness in Catholic Motherhood, Family and Everyday Life10/15/24 • 74 min
Join Sister Helena Burns, fsp, and Sheila Nonato on Veil and Armour as they explore a profound question: Can understanding our divine nature and the Christian perspective shed light upon the ongoing gender debate? Sister Helena brings remarkable insights from Pope Benedict’s reflections on modern rebellion and the vital role of the body in today’s contentious discussions. During this week of Canadian Thanksgiving, we're filled with gratitude for our global listeners, both past and present. We invite women and mothers to join our private Facebook group for a community of shared faith, prayer and growth.
Our conversation takes a philosophical turn as we examine gender, identity, and the body through the lens of ancient Greek philosophers and the late St. John Paul II's philosophy. We consider the friction between embracing our biological nature and the contemporary gender identity challenges and transgender ideology. Sister Helena explores the consequences of resisting our innate nature and reflects upon the personalistic norm, setting the groundwork for a richer understanding of the theology of the body.
We also explore how radical feminism has influenced beliefs and the importance of critical thinking in reassessing these deeply embedded views. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's identity and Christian faith by modeling positive and diverse role models, from historical figures to religious icons. With Sister Helena's guidance, we discuss encouraging religious vocations for daughters, highlighting the inspiring lives of nuns, and providing practical advice for parents navigating media literacy and moral values in a world filled with challenging influences.
