Looking through the CAF episodes about women, they seem very focused on how awesome women are, "the feminine genius", etc. As an example in this episode, Rizkallah refers to Priesthood as a demotion from the normal vocation women normally have. On the other hand, the CAF episodes that reference men are very focused on calling men to do better. As an example, in this episode Kellot says that men maybe are idiots rather than just being oppressive. Looking around the world, this is exactly what I see the culture saying. Women are perfect, men are awful. Certainly CAF is much more nuanced than the culture but the tropes seem to be the same. It would be refreshing if we could get a conversation that didn't start with modernity assumed. Is 1st wave feminism good? Should society be patriarchal? The answers to these questions are assumed but it would be interesting to actually explore them.
Thank you for this video Catholic Answers. On a semi-related topic, I encountered the myth of the "female pope" Johanna while playing the popular game Persona 5. Do you have a video or will you make a video addressing this myth? I know thousands to millions have played or are playing this game, and I am curious about the origins of this myth and why it came into existence. I assume it was not made up specifically for the video game.
Research the terms latria, dulia, and hyper dulia. We ask Mary to ask her Son on our behalf. Remember when Jesus performed His first public miracle? I wasn’t raised Catholic and I asked the same questions as you. But I’ve since experienced many ways where I know Mary has helped me personally. Jesus made her our mother, and we go to her like we’d go to a very good mother. We could never love Mary more than Jesus loves her. I could go on and on, but I’ll leave it with these few words that maybe you can ponder sometime.
Simone, you are one of my new favorite people. I love listening to you!

Presbyterian here, why do Catholics pray to the Virgin Mary? Isn't that idolatry?
