If you’ve been following the Synod on Synodality, then you will have no doubt seen in the news that female ordination is back on the discussion table… even though a women can no sooner be validly ordained than a man could become pregnant.

In this episode, Will and Teresa discuss the topic of female ordination, especially to the diaconate and discuss why this just is not a possibility. It was a great conversation and we sincerely hope that you enjoy it and learn from it!

Also, if you are coming to the Hour of the Laity Conference in Orange County later this week, we will both be there. Will is giving one of the talks on Friday! Come find us and say hello!

Good Distinctions

GOOD DISTINCTIONS ARE THE SPICE OF LIFE! In our increasingly polarized world, the vilification of those who disagree with us seems to be universal. At Good Distinctions, we desire to reignite good conversation, to seek out the best distinctions, and inspire others to do the same. While we are unambiguously Catholic, we nonetheless hold that we have something to learn by listening with charitably open ears, minds, and hearts to those with a different point of view than our own. Recognizing the perspective of another does not mean abandoning or watering down fundamental Christian truths. Considering the perspective of someone with whom we disagree does not need to lead to an existential crisis. Instead, it allows us to learn from the perspective of others while respecting their God-given intellect, will, and conscience. After all, to quote St. John Paul II: the faith is proposed, not imposed.
