The problem with Pope Francis’ letter to the U.S. bishops by Amy Welborn
The framework and assumption that what’s most at stake here is institutional credibility is exactly what led to cover-ups and protection of clerical perpetrators. Exactly.

Women in charge of the MIC
Steve Sailer: Trust Women!, referring to this article: How women took over the military-industrial complex
An interesting thesis from Leon Podles
Though I have my doubts; it is one thing to reject Christianity because it has been feminized. But it is enough to do the demonic things done by many of the leftists during the Spanish Civil War. Even if Christianity is no longer part of one's identity, what of country or king? Or upholding the aristocracy?
Still, if women were in charge of the spiritual formators, that is a problem, and reveals that if there was a form of patriarchy in Spain, it was lacking in something very important with respect to the role of the fathers, who should have been in charge of religious education and the primary exmeplar of a Christian life. Did they abdicate this role because they preferred some idol or pagan way? Or was it due to something else after the Reconquest and then the decline of the Spanish Empire. And are there parallels with Spanish-speaking territories in Ibero-America?
Roots Of Spanish Anticlericalism by ROD DREHER
Would they even care for the words of St. Paul? And would the words of St. Paul concerning the relationship of slaves and masters even be relevant?

Roots Of Spanish Anticlericalism by ROD DREHER
The landowners thought they were good Christians because they gave charity to the poor; but what the poor, especially the men among them, wanted was respect. The men saw that the Church, the priests, could attract women and would interfere in male sexual pleasures, even in marriage. The revolutionaries were not ideologists, but wanted recognition, independence, and respect, so that they could be respected by others as men and respect themselves as men.

Bodyguard
So I finished the rest of the series, and I did rewatch the assassination scene.
Like Korean dramas that have similar set-ups, Bodyguard is a drama written for a woman. I am not sure how a man could enjoy watching this, especially with all of the SJW messaging thrown in -- minorities in every scene, women in authority, and so on. I'm surprised there was actually little LGQBTXYZ messaging in this one. Maybe in the next series. As for the mystery part of the procedural, it actually isn't bad for a contemporary BBC production but you'd have to sit through all of the SJW noise to appreciate it.

Is Ouellet Part of the Problem?
Or is the problem a Latin conception of the Church being above the authority of the state with regards to even civil matters and civil cases? If the Church hierarchy won't agree to the state policing it, then will it allow lay people to do so? How can the hierarchy be made accountable? (Appealing to the pope as the chief ruler of the Church is not the solution.)

Amy Grant, "Stay For A While"
The beginning isn't the good but the refrain is memorable. But I didn't remember all of the electronic instrumentation.
