The Week According To . . . Caroline Farrow

Welcome to our hebdomadal show that looks back over the past seven days.
This episode, as we take our first tentative steps into autumn, the greathearted Caroline Farrow returns to talk us through what has captured her attention, piqued her interest or made her blood boil in the news, media and tabloids including...

• Black History Month: Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization
• 'It is going to be a difficult winter'. PM warns of tough times ahead as energy bills soar from today.
• Victory of Christian parents who recently won a five-year legal battle with the DoE that forced the government to review its transgender policies.
• Trans charity Mermaids investigated over ‘breast binders given to children’ against their parents’ wishes.
• Virgin Atlantic says it is the world's 'most inclusive airline' with staff being able to wear optional pronoun badges and choose whichever uniform 'best represents them'.
• Sussex Police forced to apologise after saying they 'do not tolerate' gender comments about trans paedophile who sexually abused children.
• PayPal forced to back down after their assault on Free Speech groups.
• The sudden and unexplained rise of Adult Sudden Death Syndrome.

In 2010, frustrated by many of the media headlines and negative coverage of Catholicism, Caroline began a blog in defence of Catholic teaching and to reflect on UK current affairs and world events through the lens of a Catholic woman. What began as nothing more than personal musings designed to explain and propose controversial ethics and life issues to those who had struggled with them, or to de-bunk misleading narratives and headlines, soon mushroomed and popular posts would receive more than 30,000 unique visitors a day. Between 2011 and 2017, she was a member of the organisation Catholic Voices, set up to promote the defence of Catholic teaching in the public square and made numerous media interventions on their behalf and quickly became the 'go to' voice for media organisations looking to represent a female conservative Catholic point of view. Since 2013 Caroline has writes a weekly column for the Catholic Universe and has written for and featured in a number of other publications such as the Catholic Herald, the National Catholic Register, the Conservative Woman, Mercatornet, Crisis Magazine, LifeSiteNews and Church Militant. She used to write on Catholic culture at the now defunct Spectator Arts blog and has been featured in the Daily Mail, the Observer and the New Statesman. In 2013, Caroline was included as part of the first cohort of the BBC's '100 women' and she regularly features on BBC News, Sky News, ITV's Good Morning Britain, BBC Sunday Morning Live, the Big Questions and has made multiple appearances on Radio 4's flagship Today programme, Woman's Hour, the Moral Maze and the Sunday programme as well as featuring in one-off documentaries. Caroline also presented the coverage for March for Life UK for EWTN and has contributed to News Nightly and Celtic Connections. She also frequently contributes to Talk Radio, LBC and BBC local radio as well as BBC Radio Ulster, discussing matters pertaining to Catholicism, feminism and the challenges of motherhood and family life. Caroline has an eclectic career background. She began her professional life as a student accountant for a big 5 firm before succumbing to a desire for travel and adventure and became a member of cabin crew working both long and short-haul routes for internationally acclaimed airlines. Having got the travel bug out of her system, she returned to work within investment banking and private equity in the City of London until her first child was born. Caroline is currently the campaign director at CitizenGO, has 5 children of school-age, four girls and one boy and is married to a Catholic priest who converted from Anglicanism, a few years after they were married.
