This video unpacks the "Would she be welcome in your church?" meme and the broader assumptions behind it. Brian challenges the stereotype that traditional Catholics are unwelcoming while progressives are inclusive, shares personal stories, and explains why modesty, decorum, and appropriate dress are moral questions rooted in virtue—not aesthetics or personal preference. Drawing from lived experience and St. Thomas Aquinas, he argues that "externals" matter because they reflect inward dispositions, especially in the context of worship.
