Commentary by Susan Brinkmann, OCDSIsn’t it ironic that because of the Women’s March that took place in January of 2017, a march that deliberately excluded Christian women who embraced a life-affirming vision of women's equality, the word “feminism” became the most looked-up word in the dictionary for 2017. Obviously, the organizers of the March had no idea that the very concept of feminism began with Jesus Christ.
Organizers of the infamous 2017 Women’s March are hosting a convention for women in Detroit this weekend where they will bring together leaders of the women’s rights and “progressive” movement and every day women – but the affair is already riddled with criticism and internal conflict.
If you thought the vulgar messaging of the Women’s March and the pointlessness of the A Day Without a Woman campaign was bad, feminists have come up with yet another way to embarrass us all by planning to send President Trump a statue of a vagina stuffed with letters from women around the world. (Sigh)
It is said that a journey begins with the first step but I believe that it actually begins with a gentle push from God. The first time I heard Johnnette speak was in 2003 at a small church called St. Mary’s in Lutz, FL. I purchased her book, “Full of Grace” and fell in love with the concept of Women and the Abundant Life.
In a brilliant expose appearing in the latest issue of L'Osservatore Romano, Sister Sara Butler of the International Theological Commission uses Church teaching on the complementarity of men and women to counter typical feminist arguments.
