Repentence?
Metanoia? As used here and in the texts of the liturgy?
But the USG Won't Do This
At least no now. What about the next administration? If they fail to act and more acts of terror, will there be a backlash against those in government who were negligent? Defeating Domestic Jihad: A Program of Action by Srjda Trifkovic

I Said It Would be a Mixed Bag
The Vatican study sSeminar on women and work -- looks like another attempt to formulate Catholic feminism, using the John Paul II as cover. Erika Bachiochi cites the press release, which gives the topics for discussion, which includes the following introduction:
The list of topics is at the end of the press release.
Before cheap energy and the industrial revolution, women's work was primarily a support role for their husbands and family, whether on the farm or artisan production or the performing of a trade. What was once common, a disparity of salaries to give the advantage of men supporting families, is now seen as unjust (though this is not explicitly stated so in the press release). As for the role women play in public life, it is a very truncated vision of public life, what passes for "public" life in the modern nation-state, mostly bureaucratic work and participation in institutions acceptable to the modern nation-state.
On this issue I expect the Latin churches to continue to make ineffectual noise until reality makes it all irrelevant.
Today it is necessary to recognise the important role women play both in public life, for building structures that are richer in humanity, and in family life, for the wellbeing of the family itself and the education of children. Starting from this premise, the Seminar’s goal will be to discuss causes and consequences of today’s dichotomy between family demands and the organization of work. Furthermore, the meeting will seek to analyse and consider paths to leave behind the “either-or” dilemma in which too many women find themselves today, and to propose innovative solutions towards a “one and the other” answer that combines the demands of work and the demands of family life. Proposals will be considered in favour of a greater appreciation of women's work, so that discriminations that women workers still face – like penalization of motherhood and disparity of salaries – might be overcome. Also, there will be analysis of how to bring to light the irreplaceable service that only feminine genius can offer to humanity, for the growth of each person and the building of society.

Not a peep of opposition from the USCCB or the Military Archdiocese, I bet. They deserve no vocations.
A lot of people need a reality check.

Coca Cola: Why Corporations are Our Enemies
There is a Coke commercisl featuring a mom giving her young son some cokes so he can use them as an icebreaker to talk to a young girl at a dance. It played before a movie last month; I can't find it online, so I don't know how old it is. Where's the father to tell his son to man up or gie him some age-appropriate advice? nowhere to be seen. Instead, the boy is taught to offer the girl a drink. How beta is that?
And moms can feel like they can take dad's by purchasing a product for their sons to use, rather than giving him the proper guidance. What a joke.
And then there's its #MakeItHappy campaign...
Looking at the channel and its advertising in different languages, Coca Cola Global is spreading "sweet American goodness" around the world and the modern distorted notion of Christmas, focused exclusively on family. (And of course none of the Spanish commercials feature non-whites.)

What we need for the holiday movie season...
Two movies pushing the LGBQTXYZ agenda... Carol and Danish Girl. The distributors may claim that it is only a matter of timing but there is probably something more insidious to it. Of course there are no criticisms of the age disparity between the two female characters.

Of course the SJWs love Carol.

Korean Catholic celebs generally are poor poster children for Catholicism; they love being in the entertainment industry too much.
