“I SAID NOTHING, BUT THE IRONY STRUCK ME. HERE THEY WERE, CHOOSING TO TALK ABOUT CATHOLIC MANHOOD WHILE PASSING UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY DO CATHOLIC MANHOOD.”
Oh my gosh, what a great commentary. Thank you for it Frank. You provide a few minutes of break from this crazy world, where we rightfully laugh at these people. This is a public service! We’re going nuts out here, there is just so much, so much of everything, and it’s frustrating and horrible and there’s no relief. And here you are, expressing just so much that’s true and has no outlet for relief. And as a woman, let me say I wish I’d seen that French priest with the demonic Femen. One man against the harpies, God bless him.
Sorry, forgot to say I agree with Ann Barnhardt. We do need to repent, although to be fair, the average moral person would do away with pornography and filthy, disgusting song lyrics and the like, and is saddened and outraged by our moral deterioration and the culture. But we’ve signed petitions and we’ve called TV stations and we’ve done the thing, and it’s just all so out of our hands. But more and more people have given up and perhaps the filth doesn’t bother them anymore. What I’m saying is yes, we’re responsible but there are so many good people who are horrified and sad about it. God would not have destroyed Sodom if there had been what, 10 good men, whom could not be found. I don’t know which side I’m arguing, some days a meteor doesn’t sound that bad.
Had to force a smile when you suggested that Francis’ pain and paralysis may be fixed with surgery, but no science can fix the dying “Sciatica Church” he’s given us. It’s gonna take a miracle!
We think of the funeral at the house of Jairus where Jesus came and asked
“Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” When they laughed at Him, He took her by the hand: “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” Immediately the girl stood and began to walk.”
For some time I have noticed that certain female Catholic bloggers like to point out the weakness and lack of male virtue in the Catholic man. They return to the theme repeatedly, flogging all the effeminate Catholic men, unworthy of the name – Man.
Point well taken. But the topic is getting kind of tired, at this point, and perhaps not as bad as some Catholics make it out to be, truth be told.
Perhaps women like this can spend more time developing and expressing Catholic feminine virtue, of which they have control and personal responsibility. What we men do, or don’t, is between us and God. Encouragement in virtue is always good. Nagging … not so much.
The Church needs a lot more women acting out the virtues of our Blessed Mother, also, in addition to men patterning St. Joseph. The world, filled as it is with sexuality and self-centered seeking and grasping needs to see this too – women acting like women as God intended: charitable, wise, merciful, kind, gentle, trusting, nurturing (etc).
