A recent conversation at a party left me thinking about one of the most common objections to the Catholic Church. "It's not fair..." After explaining why the Catholic Church cannot ordain women as priests, that was the response I received.

But is fairness really the right question?

In this episode of Roxie Unfiltered, we're taking a deep dive into one of the most controversial issues facing the Church today.

We'll examine:

• Why Jesus chose twelve men as Apostles.
• What Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II actually taught about women's ordination.
• What the Vatican documents really say.
• The biblical, theological, and anthropological reasons behind the Church's teaching.
• The difference between equality of dignity and sameness of vocation.
• The current vocational crisis among women religious.
• Why some religious communities are thriving while others are disappearing.
• Whether modern culture has misunderstood authentic feminine greatness.

This won't be a political conversation.

It won't be about culture wars.

It's about understanding what the Catholic Church actually teaches, why she teaches it, and whether modern assumptions about fairness have caused us to ask the wrong question.

Join me live and bring your questions.
