McCarthy","description":"Should mothers work outside the home? If you want an answer more solid than groundless internet opinion or conveniently vague appeals to personal discernment, this is the podcast for you. Margaret McCarthy joins the Catholic Culture Podcast to discuss her essay on why anti-sex-discrimination law\u2019s treatment of the sexes as abstract interchangeable units hurts real women, real men, and real children (and real workplaces!). Then we dive into the neglected teachings of John Paul II and earlier popes on the objectively different relationships that men and women have to the home and to work outside the home. Margaret Harper McCarthy is associate professor of theological anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage & Family, at the Catholic University of America. She is the editor of Humanum: Issues in Family, Culture, and Science, serves on the editorial board of the English edition of Communio: International Catholic Review, is a member of the Academy of Catholic Theology, and is a consultant to the USCCB\u2019s Committee on Doctrine. 00:00 Introduction 2:30 Anti-discrimination law discriminates against real women, children, men, and workplaces 34:30 Sex difference: division of labor and customs 1:03:43 Catholic teaching on working mothers 1:33:08 Contraception and public life vs. the real feminine genius Links  Margaret H.
