The fact that McElroy is being made a cardinal but not Cordileone sums up the state of the Catholic Church today.

"Why does the West want to annihilate what it built in the first place? The real enemy of the West is the West itself, its imperviousness to God and to spiritual values, which resembles a process of lethal self-destruction."

The most irritating thing about virtue signaling was identified by some French guy 350 years ago: "Virtue would not go so far if PRIDE did not keep it company." (La Rochefoucauld).

Whoa.

New study: (Parental) divorce is worse than death—when it comes to kids’ educational attainment.
