They come as a pair.”</p> <p>The program is still in its early stages and seeking funding. Savage, who proposed the idea, has been working on the project since last summer. </p> <div class="inBodyAd marginBottom30"> <div id='NCR_EN_Article_B'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('NCR_EN_Article_B'); }); </script> </div> </div> <p>Through the institute, Savage hopes to develop a Catholic anthropology of men and women, thereby creating an alternative to the perspectives that are at the root of several cultural issues of the day.</p> <p>“I follow JPII’s advice that we not concentrate on fighting evil but concentrate on building something good,” Savage explained. “My project has been toward that end: to have an actual robust, fully grounded account of man and woman to offer.”</p> <p>“Just as men’s identities need to be more fully understood and lifted up, so do women’s,” Savage said, noting that men and women are negatively impacted by “the disaster that’s taking place in our culture as a result of the widespread use of artificial contraception.”</p> <p>Savage credits birth control as both cutting men out “of the most fundamental aspects of the relationship between men and women” and rejecting women’s “basic gift to humanity, which is her capacity to conceive and nurture life.” </p> <div class="inBodyAd marginBottom30"> <div id='NCR_EN_Article_C'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('NCR_EN_Article_C'); }); </script> </div> </div> <p>“You can’t find happiness by being willing to reduce yourself to an object of sexual desire,” she noted. “When you reduce the desire for relationship to sex, as we have done [in modern culture], what you’re seeing in front of us unfold is human beings reducing themselves to the level of animals.” </p> <p>The lack of meaning is self-destructive, according to Savage.</p> <p>“We are hotbeds of meaning, and we work so hard to eliminate any significance or meaning to the sexual act, to free ourselves from any constraint, then we’re really destroying everything that makes us human,” Savage said.</p> <p>Once established, the institute will have a research and teaching component, including a degree program for students. It will also have an outreach component, designed to share ideas through conferences and workshops and in Catholic schools.</p> <div class="inBodyAd marginBottom30"> <div id='NCR_EN_Article_D'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('NCR_EN_Article_D'); }); </script> </div> </div> <p>The institute is designed to be interdisciplinary, with faculty from neuroscience, biology, psychology, sociology, and marriage and family studies, as well as philosophy and theology.</p> <p>Both through the institute and at the recent conference, Franciscan is responding to gender ideology from a Catholic perspective.</p> <p>Kheriaty, the director of the EPPC program in bioethics and American democracy, noted at the recent conference that contemporary gender ideology can advertise rigid stereotypes.</p> <p>“One mistake that contemporary gender theory or gender ideology makes is the notion that a man with some characteristically feminine traits or interests is really a woman trapped in a man’s body and vice versa. That is not true,” he said.</p> <p>“He may be a boy who likes ballet, or she may be a girl who likes football. That’s all,” he argued.</p> <p>“A failure to acknowledge the full extent of this variation and overlap in gender traits results in overly rigid cultural stereotypes in what it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman,” Kheriaty continued.</p> <div class="inBodyAd marginBottom30"> <div id='NCR_EN_Article_E'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('NCR_EN_Article_E'); }); </script> </div> </div> <p>The Catholic understanding of men and women points to both their unity and their distinct masculinity and femininity, Savage and other academics noted. </p> <p>A Catholic understanding of men and women can be found in Genesis, in the creation of Adam and Eve. When looking at the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2, Savage observed that Eve is made from Adam’s rib, which “links them in a one-flesh union for all of eternity.”</p> <p>“That doesn't mean just a sexual union,” she continued. “That means that they're meant to collaborate as stewards of creation.”</p> <p>While men and women need to collaborate, they are also distinct. The creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis shows two different experiences, which Savage calls the masculine and feminine geniuses. </p> <p>For Adam, “his first encounter of a reality is of a horizon that only contains lower-ordered creatures,” Savage explained. “The goods of creation, he knows them; he knows them well.”</p> <p>“A woman's contact with reality is very different,” she added. “Her first contact is with Adam's face. She has never lived in a horizon that did not already contain other persons.” </p> <div class="inBodyAd marginBottom30"> <div id='NCR_EN_Article_F'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('NCR_EN_Article_F'); }); </script> </div> </div> <p>Meanwhile, the masculine genius “is very much tied up in his capacity to put the goods of creation at the service of his wife and his family and the community,” Savage said, noting that “men seem to be more ordered toward objects than toward persons.” </p> <p>Franks, a theology professor at St. John’s Seminary and senior fellow at the Abigail Adams Institute, <a href="https://franciscan.edu/conference-at-franciscan-university-highlights-nature-of-man-and-woman/" target="_blank">added</a> that identity is received from God: “If we conceive of identity not as a project but as a received task, then what becomes most important is not discerning what I want or desire or feel … [but rather] what the source of my identity has in mind for me.” </p> </div> <ul class="article__keywords"> <li>Keywords: </li> <li><a href="https://www.ncregister.com/tag/franciscan-university">franciscan university</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncregister.com/tag/men-and-women">men and women</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncregister.com/tag/church-teaching">church teaching</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncregister.com/tag/catholic-teaching-on-gender">catholic teaching on gender</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncregister.com/tag/masculine-and-feminine-geniuses">masculine and feminine geniuses</a></li> </ul>  <div id='NCR_EN_Slider'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('NCR_EN_Slider'); }); </script> </div> <button class="article__commBtnHide" style="display:none;">Toggle Comments</button> <div id="coral_thread" class="article__comms"> <button class="article__commBtn marginBottom10">Show Comments <span class="coral-count article__commsCou nt" data-coral-id="118923" data-coral-url="https://www.ncregister.com/cna/franciscan-university-to-launch-institute-for-the-study-of-man-and-woman" data-coral-notext="true"></span></button> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> $("#coral_thread button").on("click", function() { var d = document, s = d.createElement('script'); s.src = 'https://ncregister.coral.coralproject.net/assets/js/embed.js'; s.async = false; s.defer = true; s.onload = function() { Coral.createStreamEmbed({ id: "coral_thread", autoRender: true, rootURL: 'https://ncregister.coral.coralproject.net', // Uncomment these lines and replace with the ID of the // story's ID and URL from your CMS to provide the // tightest integration.
