    Motherhood Only Feels Like A ‘Penalty’ When Women Succumb To Feminism

    :) I live in the west-central part of the Lower Peninsula, about 18 miles east of the Lake Michigan beach. I'm in the "transition zone", where large farms fade off and are replaced by large orchards, and eventually, woods, the further north you go. My township only has a total population of...

    Little Sisters of the Poor Face New Legal Assault on Religious Freedom

    It may reach the point where religious orders, and Christian people everywhere, simply refuse to obey the laws which make them violate the Faith just as the Apostles did in the passage above. What would happen if the state came in and told the Litle Sisters, "You have to do this! No...

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    Agreed. And speaking of mortality, now that I'm well up into my 60s, my physical condition isn't so hot any more; injuries that I got while in the service are taking their toll on me. My back gives me pain 24/7/365, and my days are usually split into equal shares of good days (when I feel...

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    I have been contemplating the End Times myself lately, but within a different context. Jesus warned of natural disasters---earthquakes, famines, pandemics; He spoke of astronomical disturbances, of the sun and moon being blotted out, of stars falling from the sky, of the sea roaring and huge...

    Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince denounces the ‘collapse of humanity’ in Haitian society

    Haiti has a sad history. :( Colonized by the French, it was turned into a huge slave market, where captured Africans were dumped by the thousands so cruel overseers would "break them" by subjecting them to heavy labor and vicious abuse. This ensured tame, compliant slaves for buyers...

    Yahya Becomes Popular UK Boys’ Name Following the Yahya Sinwar-Led October 7 Attack

    The Islamic Caliphate of Britainistan. :( Glad my ancestors got out of the British Isles before the British opened the floodgates and decided to reverse the Spanish Reconquista single-handedly. >:(

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    You're right----my bad. Chalk it up to advancing senility. :)

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    Talk about insipid. :oops: They sound like a Christian version of Devo. Instead of "Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-my Sharona", it's ""Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-my Juh-Jesus". :(

    In Light of the ‘Mankeeping’ Discussion, Remember the Wisdom of the Church

    Much of the slant of popular culture these days is to "de-masculinize" men, as the article mentions. The public schools, especially, being filled with female teachers, try with might and mien to turn little boys into little girls. Girls are quiet, they are clean, they are compliant, and easy...

    Catholic Woodstock

    I've never been one for loud, crowded venues, of any type, even when I was younger. But today, it would be out of the question. At my age, with the number of physical disabilities I deal with in my back, feet, shoulders, hips, and neck, strenuous climbing is completely off the books. And the...

    Motherhood Only Feels Like A ‘Penalty’ When Women Succumb To Feminism

    I read about this phenomenon all the time; YouTube is chock-full of videos about it. Basically, it boils down to the fact that young women are fed the feminist screed that being a wife and mother is degrading, and that they must compete with men on equal terms in the business world, because to...

    Shipping line Matson says they will no longer carry electric vehicles as cargo after disaster at sea

    The lithium batteries on one of the vehicles on board caught fire---leading to the loss of the entire ship, along with 3,000 electric cars as it went straight to the bottom. :oops...
