Among Women 202: Chastity is for Lovers

January 10, 2016

This week’s episode:

“Blessed are They”: St Dwynden

“Among Women” Guest: Arleen Spenceley

This episode examines the subject of chastity from a Catholic point of view. My guest, Arleen Spenceley, is a writer for the Tampa Bay Times. A few years back, an essay she wrote on being a chaste single adult garnered much discussion in print and went viral online. All this led to her book release Chastity is for Lovers: Single, Happy, and (Still) a Virgin. Join us for a discussion of the influence of St John Paul’s thoughts on love between the sexes, and how chastity is a virtue every person must cultivate.
