I don’t think it’s possible to overestimate the speculative and practical wisdom found in the “those who pray are certainly saved whereas those who don’t are certainly damned” quote by St. Alphonsus
@CTrefugees@CatholicSmark @SirPBlakeney @christian_state @HolyRomanSimp @hf_222222 Oh yeah that one FSSP parish in Arkansas.
Seemed to be mainly middle and upper-middle class, very orderly, quiet, and socially respectable.
The pews and kneelers were a little too comfy.
At least at this time women tend more liberal, since they tend toward status quo, but the point stands about liberals knowing how to wield power, recognize fellow travelers, and feed their own.
Women tend to be more liberal than men, so there's that, but liberals have almost completely locked down the credentialing and accreditation mechanisms for teaching. It's extremely annoying for a conservative man, even agreeable ones, to work within this terrain.
@OracleOfNYC@MrZachG One thing libs do is simply make it so annoying and intolerable for conservatives to obtain certifications, partly by enforcing their views as 'established facts' at every turn. It works extremely well.

All it takes to convince a new teacher that they can’t be a guide on the side, or negotiate rules and restore justice as their primary means of managing behavior, is to give them a very challenging class in a very challenging school. The ideas from their training are useless.
