Catholic Manhood

The complete quote makes it obvious she meant "people" but mistakenly used the colloquial "men".

Here's her full quote:

We Are Not Born Saints

Men are not born saints with special gifts and privileges. They fight against the world, the flesh and the devil and as they conquer, the Spirit of Jesus begins to shine through with more clarity. We sometimes confuse the particular mission of the saints with their holiness.

If compassion were to radiate through one, then healing would be given to that individual to manifest the power of God. But the charism is not part of holiness, it is merely an off-shoot — a gift to be given to others. It was God’s gift to the saint for the benefit of the people of God.

It is possible to possess charisma and not be holy. We see this clearly in the life of Judas. He spent three years with Jesus and possessed the power to heal, preach and deliver, but he himself did not grow in holiness. His weaknesses were aggravated by the power Jesus gave him for he saw it as a gift that bore his own person and pocketed little profit.

Can you add some context are you fishing people go and do further to research if she supports Men's rights or is against them?

Religions want men to be men only in the traditional sense.
