Young Adult Marriage/Chastity Talks

Socon Catholics still don't get that the problem is not with sexual morality. Those who want to be Christian do not have an intellectual problem with the Church's teaching on sexual morality, though they may have difficulty observing it in their own lives. Rather, the problem is with the popular presentation by bishops, priests, and laypeople concerning intersex dynamics and sex differences and FEMINISM. Until this is corrected we will continue to have nice Catholic guys who are unable to marry.

New Macross series! Learned of it only last night... animation quality seems to be lower than that of Macross Frontier. And it's another fey-looking main male protagonist.

Incomplete Analysis

The Immature Generation By Robert VerBruggen

No mention of the man crisis; I used to accept socon essays on the peter pan syndrome and the like, but no longer. Would the causes of extended adultlescence differ for each sex? I would think so, but the author shows no awareness of what's really going on, and the socio-economic hindrances to maturity for men.

The holy foolishness of Whit Stillman sharpens the wit of Jane Austen’s "Lady Susan" into wisdom
By Christopher S. Morrissey

Kate Beckinsale’s masterful performance as the charming but amoral Lady Susan Vernon in Whit Stillman’s hilarious Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship is a rare cinematic experience. Its memory stays with you long after viewing the film. While Stillman’s screenplay takes its inspiration, and plunders all the best lines, from Austen’s La...
