Live Interview: My Story & Why I Started FemCatholic

I started this blog to help women like myself.Women who may not have always felt like they fit within the Church, or fit the image of a "good Catholic woman."Women who have been attracted to feminism, but who want to know how to reconcile it with their Catholic faith.Women who have a sense that the strength, power, and influence of women is untapped -- both in the Church and in the world.

♦♦♦

Earlier on the blog, I shared a little bit of my story - on how being a feminist brought my closer to God. You can read that here.On July 13th I also chatted with Julie and Christy on Catholic Women Now about how I've grown, and why I started FemCatholic.It's about 25 minutes, and if you're interested, you can listen here online or on the July 13th episode on the Iowa Catholic Radio app.
