Conservative Agenda Veiled as Catholicism
While some Catholics/Christians may hold conservative views, it is not a dogmatic pre-requisite. However, what Cameron tries to paint as a neutral, real, and transparent look at women in Catholicism comes off as a political dog whistle for those who leave no nuance to faith except where their personal life journey and opinion differs. It is interesting that while Cameron says we should “stop pretending and be real,” it is voices like hers that discourage young women’s authenticity the most. As an example, Episode 206 spreads misinformation related to science and public health through a veil of religion and an apolitical stance. The host encourages people to engage in “courageous” convoys like that of the Canadian Trucker Convoy that took place in Jan/Feb 2022 to protest vaccine mandates. The host, Cameron Fradd, paints convoys that traveled to Canada from the US as a positive example of “unity” and “peace”. Multiple times during the episode, Fradd calls the vaccine a “QR Code,” which increases vaccine misinformation. Toward the middle of this episode, Fradd places judgement on parents who choose to protect their children by minimizing their interactions with unvaccinated kids, again increasing parental vaccine hesitancy. At one point she equates such division to Satan. None of this is rooted in Catholic teaching, and is an extremely disappointing representation of Catholicism as a whole.
