On May 13, 2022 Catholic Citizens of Illinois Forum Luncheon Series Presented Author Leila Marie Lawler on: “EXPOSING THE SEVEN DEADLY LIES OF FEMINISM.”

Since the 1960’s, but in fact long before then, feminism has sought to redefine what it means to be a woman. And, not incidentally, to redefine as well what it means to be authentically human.
But, in its reckless ambition to reach this result, feminism relies on what can only fairly be characterized as lies, deadly lies, about history, about the nature of our humanity and about what it takes for us to lead happy and satisfying lives now, while we prepare for our eternity.

In May, the month of our Blessed Mother Mary, and by far history’s most well-known and prominent woman, what is the response of our Church to the seven deadly lies of feminism?

Received into the Catholic Church as a teenager, Leila Lawler brings the zeal of a convert to her understanding of the integrity and beauty of the Church’s spiritual and moral doctrines. and especially how these doctrines confront and rebut today’s feminist ideologues.

Leila Marie Lawler is the author of The Little Oratory: A Beginner’s Guide to Praying in the Home, and God has No Grandchildren, a guided reading of Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Casti Connubii.

Lawler’s latest project, a comprehensive three-volume set entitled Summa Domestica: Order and Wonder in Family Life, discusses the joys and challenges facing today’s woman, was just released by Sophia Institute Press.
