Hard Topics Workshop
This event is cosponsored by Serva Fidem. Men and Women welcome to attend the event.
Description: Pope Saint John Paul II famously taught that “the future of the Church and of the world passes by way of the family.” Yet today, many Catholics feel ill-equipped to understand—or articulate—the Church’s teachings on marriage, sexuality, and family life amid a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
In this workshop, John Bishop will equip participants to engage these sensitive and often controversial topics with clarity, confidence, and charity. Drawing from the Church’s rich theological tradition, he will address questions surrounding same-sex attraction, transgender ideology, contraception, and in-vitro fertilization, while offering practical tools for persuasive and compassionate conversation. Participants will leave with a deeper grasp of the Church’s sacred vision for marriage and family, and with renewed confidence to speak the truth in love—whether in personal conversations or within small-group settings.
Speaker: John Bishop, Ph.D.
Registration: Registration not required. For those who wish to reserve a spot, pre-registration will start 30 days prior to the event.
