“Called and Co-Responsible”

CNA/CWR: What Catholic clergy and laity have in common: a Gospel mission

“Many of us were involved in missionary activity, but at least in the West and the North, our main concern was ministering to our own, especially immigrants and new children being born,” he said. “So we opened parishes and schools like crazy and they all followed basically the same model: we have to look out for our own because sadly no one else will.”

The new Latin churches should have sought assimilation, inculturation, and integration, and if they met with resistance they should have emphasized the obligation of their immigrant congregation not to test the limits of hospitality and to discourage others from immigrating. The opportunity to assimilate, inculturate, and integrate has passed for many churches, and now their leaders are pushing for a religious form of civic nationalism that will fail.

The Repudiation of Hierarchy?

Or subverting it so that it becomes a form of narcissism?

Servant leadership is a term that needs to disappear from the Christian lexicon and from any form of catechesis. The theological objection? Christ came to serve not men, but as the Son who serves the Father.

Authority and leadership should be at the service of love, but they requires different from the obedience that is required of the man who serves another.

"Find your tribe"

Maybe the least objectionable episode in the series. (Ben Mattern's bit was problematic. Scott Hahn's truncated account of divine adoption has problems too.)

Ridiculous

I don't care what Dr. Jeanne Schindler's institutional affiliation is or to whom she is married (D.C. Schindler, also of Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family Studies) but the fact that the producers of the series thought it appropriate to include her and her opinions about masculinity for this video shows how blind they are to the fact that they have been conquered by feminism.



Guess place of the men involved in this video in the SSH.

Blue-pilled "man up" message.

A KoC Project

Given the demographics of the Knights of Columbus and the men featured in the series, I don't expect anything more than blue-pilled whiteknighting stuff. It's 2020. Social conservatism lost on the 75 years ago, even before the first shots of the culture war. There's some nice imagery meant to appeal to men but it's without substance. How many cultural Marxists and feminists are going to denounce this campaign as misogynist or patriarchal? Probably only a few who are in need of clicks.

As far as I can tell, not a single episode dedicated to explaining the authority of the husband over the wife.

The Simpler Way

Resilience: The Simpler Way: Editors’ Introduction
By Samuel Alexander, Jonathan Rutherford

The Simpler Way is an ‘eco-anarchist’ vision of a world where self-governing communities live materially simple but sufficient lives, in harmony with ecological limits. Central themes discussed in the following pages include a radical critique of consumer capitalism; the need for fundamental system change; and a transition theory based on building a new society from the grassroots up.

An analysis of her script for her life. I don't know how accurate it is but I do know that she is a rather annoying "comedienne" who uses a lot of vulgarity to pass for humor (as all "comediennes" tend to do) and is not a flattering representative of Asian-Americans.

Towards Expat Nationalism by Guillaume Durocher
Technological and Psychological Factors for the Rise and Decline of the Nation-State

The family – especially if the two parents are of the same ethnicity – seems to be a powerful driver of ethnic identity creation. All across Europe, the society may speak one language, the state may prescribe another, but if enough families speak another language at home, then we have an autonomous ethnic group and resulting ethnic tensions. See: Catalonia, Flanders, and indeed most of the Balkans.

The ASP Candidate

CNA/CWR: He won’t win. So why is Brian Carroll running for president?

A comment at CWR:
"Trump was a fluke who was not acceptable to the duopoly, and even now many Republicans in the Federal legislature oppose him, as well as those who control the Republican party at all levels. The only possible benefit from this attempt at mass politics is that people may get to know other people who live near them who share their values and network, but networking is not enough by itself to make a community."

Catholic Herald: Pro-life but not Republicans: meet the American Solidarity Party

There are those who like to signal online to others about their conscience or choosing a candidate who fully aligns with their beliefs, making a principled choice. But they are statist in their beliefs about the Federal Government, just like many of the "National Conservatives" and Latin integralists as well. Fortunately, the great majority of them would not back up their beliefs with the force of arms if they had the choice.
