Meet the two teens who started a feminist club at their all-boys Catholic school. Ep. 98

Matias Benitez and Matt Chen are students at Regis High School in
New York City, and in February of 2018, the teenagers started
HeForShe, the school’s first feminist club. Every week, a dozen or
so students gather after school to discuss the treatment of women
and topical, sometimes difficult topics, like the Kavanaugh
hearing. We talk to Matt and Matias about HeForShe, how they define
feminism and what they hope fellow students learn from their club.
  In Signs of the Times, following the massacre at
Christchurch in New Zealand, Bishop Kevin Doran criticizes
“faith-filled” Catholics who demonize Muslims. We discuss the
upcoming book by our Vatican correspondent, Gerry O’Connell, on the
election of Pope Francis. The founder of Women Church World,
Lucetta Scaraffia, resigns as editor in chief of the all women’s
magazine. And an archbishop in New Mexico reminds Catholics that
“Santa Muerte” goes against church teaching.   Feel free to
