Summary
On this week's episode of Kinda Radical we are joined by scholar, author, researcher, and professor Benjamin Zeller! In 2003 Professor Zeller wrote an article titled We're The Other Catholic Church, Feminism in a Radical Catholic Renewal Community. This article follows the story of Spiritus Christi, a Catholic church in Rochester New York who made waves based on their progressive practices - like having Mary Ramerman become a pastor. Throughout this episode we talk about women's role in the Catholic Church, the representation of clothing in religion and why it played such a symbolic role in this story, and how the church can achieve gender equality in the future.
