Cherie Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 However, reading between the lines, I think the greater issue is whether he believes women should be in the workforce in the first place (and yes, I have encountered Catholics who are against women in the workforce). Yes, they are absolutely against women in the workforce. I know one of the guys behind that "organization"; not personally, but I have had interactions with him, and I do know members of his family personally. They're a huge family. They believe a lot of things that don't jive with actual Church teaching, and purport that they're the only ones who are right. As in: women must wear chapel veils, and if you pay close enough attention, you'd know it actually STILL is a requirement (false); NFP is abused way more often than it's legitimate and you shouldn't ever use it unless you have a life-threatening issue (false); women should only EVER wear skirts and are immoral and immodest if they don't (false), etc. The problem is that there are *elements* of truth in some of what they say. Except they take it way, way too far...to the point binding "heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders" (Matthew 23:4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
