There needs to be a gag order for Catholic pseudo-intellectuals.

An alliance between "conservatives" and "anti-porn" feminists? Ultimately, it would be an anti-porn movement in service of whom? Feminism? What alternative would "conservatives" have to counter it, besides some feminized version of Christianity? The author offers no real solutions to the existential crisis that leads to the increase of porn use among males, nor to the existential crisis of women that is rooted in self-hatred, feminism, and rebellion.

Pope Pius XI, “Casti Connubi”

Available here.

”For if the man is the head, the woman is the heart, and as he occupies the chief place in ruling, so she may and ought to claim for herself the chief place in love.”

I used to accept this but now I question it — a virtuous man may actually surpass his wife in love of the family, but not in emotion, as he will have right reason and right will coupled together, while the wife can only participate in the right reason through obedience, and her love may be more emotional than rational at first, until it is formed through obedience and her emotions are brought into subjection to her reason and his.

The Dems Will Be At It Again

Calling for stricter gun laws after the latest school shooting in Florida. Do they not know that these things could probably be prevented if there were authentic communities, with mutual accountability and oversight? But they'd rather increase the power of the state. Well, then, let those who want to live in such a state, where people are strangers to one another and cannot be trusted by the state, live there. But leave true communities and their right to bear arms alone.

A Feminist Enabler

But we suspected that all long with Bishop Robert Barron, didn't we? And for conservative Latin Catholics, he is supposed to be one of the "good" bishops.

"Liberal" Nonsense

The new version of SWAT is of course SJW-friendly, as far as a cop show can be. I won't go off the SJW checklist to show that this is the case; I just want to say something about what the (blackwashed) Hondo says in the first episode with respect to "community policing" -- "treat 'em like family." Is this psychologically possible in a megapolis? Only if one has some sort of pathological altruism or the like. Otherwise, it isn't, but a false front that is akin to the emotional manipulation practiced by cults. Or the state. Liberalism and statism go hand in hand.
