@sola_chad One can posit Joseph, an older widower with children, struck up a respectable deal with much-younger Mary's family. Having a mother for the children and a wife to manage the household was important. The angel of the Lord came to him explaining what the plan was, Joseph obeyed.
@clareanneath The moment women went to work en masse, you guys shot yourselves in the foot.
You diluted the labor pool, reduced wages across the board, and made it so you HAD to go to work in order to survive.
Women, welcome to the FO stage of FA.
Have a nice day!
We’ve built an economic and cultural system that treats motherhood as a temporary inconvenience rather than a foundational human responsibility. Women aren’t failing the system, the system is failing women. When institutions are designed around the assumption that everyone functions like a childless man, families absorb the cost. A society that can’t make space for mothers is a society that’s forgotten what it takes to sustain itself.

I pray for Bishop Barron. I think he's done a lot of good work. I don't always agree with him, but that's okay.
Will conservative Catholics pray for clergy they disagree with?

We should all pray for each other.
@merelyjwright So Kirk got to be an evangelical Christian AND a smart-mouth troll sending out race-baiting, liberal baiting zingers in his podcast on the regular? Yeah..no, bro.
Apparently 75% of those who got the Covid shot are dead and the other 25% regret they got it
Anyone out there who has had the Covid vaccine, is not dead, and does not regret it?
I'll start
