For twenty years, Maggie Gallagher was a number one voice writing in regards to the significance of everlasting, monogamous marriage to society. At first, that included mentioning the issues with divorce, feminism and single parenthood. Then as same-sex marriage grew to become the predominant difficulty, Gallagher grew to become the general public face of the motion towards it. A couple of years after the Supreme Courtroom made homosexual marriage authorized throughout the 50 states, Gallagher switched gears when Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco requested her to be Government Director of the Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Divine Worship, which he based in 2013. She says that to keep away from despair, we have now to construct stunning issues.
On this interview Maggie discusses:
- How changing into a single mom in faculty led her to focus her profession on the protection of marriage
- Her time within the pro-marriage motion, together with co-founding the Nationwide Group for Marriage
- Why the defenders of marriage have been much less efficient than the pro-life motion
- Why sure critiques of the pro-life motion’s political involvement are unfair
- American classical liberalism’s incapability to consider social establishments
- Assembly Archbishop Cordileone and getting concerned within the BXVI Institute
- The BXVI Institute’s patronage of the humanities, particularly the liturgical arts
- The Archbishop’s marketing campaign of prayer and fasting for the conversion of Nancy Pelosi
