Many voices in the Church are calling for a myriad of "options" as the answer to the darkness in our time. Amidst them all, Dr. Carrie Gress cuts to the chase with the idea of "The Marian Option" and why imitation of Mary is a timely but also timeless option. Leah and Carrie talk about Mary, "the patriarchy", feminism, and the idea of a spirit of Anti-Mary operating in the world. They then start talking about the beauty of "home" and the way that creating a home is actually a bolder move than one might think.
