Webinar: Excavating the ‘Feminine Genius’
June 26, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT
| $10
Pope Saint John Paul II has described women as in possession of a special “feminine genius” that is constituted of receptivity, generosity, sensitivity, and maternity, including spiritual maternity. In this webinar, I want to examine what St. Teresa of Avila’s The Way of Perfection can contribute to our understanding of femininity and to concerns today about the role of women in the Church.
