Is Sexism a Sin?

While Catholic teaching states that men and women were both created equally in the image of God, faith communities and leaders are not immune from the sins of the world - including sexism. Join Samantha Povlock, Founder of FemCatholic, and Professor and theologian Christine Falk Dalessio, Ph.D., for a candid and insightful conversation on the ways sexism can show up in communities of faith, what the Catholic Church actually teaches, and how we can better fulfill the mission to live as Jesus intended.

Christine Falk Dalessio, Ph.D., holds a doctoral degree in Catholic theology. As a theologian, she focuses on questions of anthropology, personalist feminism, unity and beauty. Her publications include “Filled with Prophecy: The Revelatory and Representational Aspects of the Prophetism of the Body in the Mystery of Male-Female Embodiment"" in Listening Journal and “The Feminism, Prophetic Bodies and Freedom” in Woman as Prophet in the Home and the World: Interdisciplinary Investigations. A NJ native, she currently resides in Milwaukee with her husband and two cats, and teaches theology at Marquette University.

Join us for a live workshop on Thursday September 22nd at 12pm CST / 1pm EST.
