Available Right NowICC celebrates 50 years as public policy voice of the Church in IndianaThe Second Vatican Council, with its profound and sweeping changes for the Catholic Church, had concluded less than a year before. The social and political upheavals of the 1960s were reshaping American culture. And in the midst of it all, Indiana Catholics stepped forward to be heard. In October of 1966, a small group of dedicated Catholics met in Indianapolis to do what their counterparts in only a handful of states had accomplished—to formalize a way for the Catholic Church to speak on both state and national issues.

But this is not what the founders of feminism intended at the turn of the last century. Rather, the pro-life, pro-family feminist movement was hijacked by proponents of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Such was the truth revealed by Sue Ellen Browder—a self-proclaimed repentant witness to and perpetrator of this travesty—to more than 900 pro-life advocates at the Right to Life of Indianapolis “Celebrate Life Dinner” on Oct. 4 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
