On today's episode, Nick and Tyler break open the Vatican document "Male and Female He Created Them: Towards a path of dialogue on the question of gender theory in education." Published in 2019, this document is meant to provide Catholic educators — and anyone else with an interest in the subject — guidance on dealing with the gender issues being broadly debated in today’s culture. As the title suggests, we're called toward a path of dialogue while seeking to more fully understand the Church's teachings on the fundamental differences between male and female in God’s plan. Sometimes we want to avoid the "dark and difficult" conversations, so this is an honest attempt to plumb the depths by asking questions in the pursuit of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.
