An opportunity for your consideration in Sydney…

The Thomistic Institute - Sydney and Australian Catholic Students Association (ACSA) invites all to 'A Catholic Response to Feminism', a free, public lecture presented by Dr Tracey Rowland at the University of Sydney on Friday May 22 at 6pm.

Professor Rowland will provide an overview of official magisterial teaching on the ontology of the feminine, along with a summary of some of the best recent theological and philosophical work in this area. Professor Rowland will argue that a knowledge of Catholic theological anthropology is indispensable in this area and that Catholic responses to feminist ideology differ from many Protestant responses because of the different underlying theological anthropology.
