Why the Church Stopped Teaching Wives Must Obey: Tim Gordon’s Nuclear Take

Catholic author and podcaster Timothy Gordon joins John-Henry Westen for a wide-ranging conversation on feminism, traditional Catholic marriage, and the crisis of authority in the Church. Gordon draws from the Roman Catechism to argue that modern Catholics have become uncomfortable with traditional teachings on male headship and wifely obedience. He discusses his documentary What a Woman Is, the "Diaper Gate" controversy, and the backlash his positions have received, including from women who support his arguments.

They then turn to the death penalty, where Gordon challenges recent Catholic teaching restricting capital punishment. He traces the decisive break to changes under Pope John Paul II, arguing that the traditional justification rests on retributive justice, not merely preventing future crimes.

They also talk about Pope Leo XIV, the "seamless garment" approach to pro-life issues, Amoris Laetitia, and the difficulty Catholics face when contemporary papal teaching appears to conflict with previous doctrine. Gordon concludes by encouraging Catholics to remain faithful to ordinary Catholic life—leading their families, attending Mass, and going frequently to confession, amid what he describes as an exceptionally dark period for the Church. The crisis is real. The response is fidelity. And the ordinary means of grace are the only way through.
