Remember one's children are unable to under the parents technical rules about behavior, so it's not the parents fault they're hell spawn. ( if this line works for the church, don't see why it doesn't here)
I've said it before, you want to talk politics, go into Christainity, you want to know God, go to youtube atheists.
Christ's body has cut off her head end kicked it into a ditch.
Fully believe there's not an ounce of Christianity that isn't a full on joke. Be it laity that refuse to listen with clear ears, of clergy that don't have their heads up something. This whole thing is a joke
This is what happens when you fry your brain on college essays.
Stories about heros standing up against evil have been the bed rock to literally every civilization in human history.
There's nothing to "think about" because it's like asking why we blink. It's what humans do.
I have 2 sons but no pets.
I have no issues with people seeing their pets as their kids since they spend time to care for them and get love from them just like with babies and todlers. The only difference is that the child will eventually be no longer depending on you while a pet will always need you.
So if you have a pet and see them as your child, go ahead. If you don't, that's fine too.
Don't let anyone tell you how you should see your pet.
There's a lot to respect about Indigenous cultures without rewriting history to give them some share of colonial accomplishments. The fact he has to make up these lies shows he doesn't actually respect them as a people.
Human beings don't talk or think like this.
If you're trying to relate the goblins that Link fight to "marginalized groups you're allowed to abuse", you NEED to talk with someone that isn't a wannabe college professor.
You're drowning in Theory with no reality.
Nothing reveals a hypocrite faster than flexible principles: strict rules for your enemies, endless exceptions for your side. You’re not moral. You’re just practicing convenient double standards.
Predictions:
- Rodan created all eagles
- Kong axe belongs to a bullshit monster instead of a Godzilla-adjascent kaiju
- A monster whose anatomy looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old
- No herbivores
- Mega kaiju based on the bridge skeleton (with a bullshit design too)
This was the UN’s message for Father’s Day? Highlighting fathers who stand up for girls and women? It’s 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 about girls and women with the UN. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
In a recent interview, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, former grand chancellor of the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and Family Life, confirmed the worst suspicions that many of us had.
He admitted that the changes he made at the Institute during the Pope Francis years were designed to initiate a "very profound" reform of the idea of the natural law.
Instead of absolute moral norms grounded in a keen understanding of the basic goods, he and his colleagues were proposing a moral theory rooted in historical discernment of subjective and cultural experience--not an "armchair theology" but one operating "within history and within people's lives."
This, of course, is the language of trendy postmodernism, and it is dangerous indeed.
Allow me to illustrate the principle with one example. Is slavery wrong?
Intrinsically wrong? Wrong no matter what public opinion polls say about it, no matter what the current consensus on it might be? I imagine any decent person would say yes.
But that yes is predicated upon precisely what the tradition calls the natural law and the basic goods. There are some values so fundamental that acts repugnant to them are by their very nature wicked.
If you want a highly articulate presentation of this idea, go to St. John Paul II's Veritatis Splendor.
If we say that this is just "armchair theologizing" and that morality is a function of ever-shifting cultural and experiential data, then why couldn't slavery be justified?
One of the very smartest persons that ever lived, the philosopher Aristotle, thought it was; extremely bright and morally upright persons in our country, well into the 19th century, thought it was permissible.
Who is to say whether the consensus might shift back again? Who is to say that "lived experience" might come to justify it?
What any truly coherent moral program requires is the very thing that Archbishop Paglia and his colleagues were endeavoring to eliminate, namely, absolute moral norms.
Ridding ourselves of these in the name of freedom or pastoral sensitivity actually renders moral discourse dysfunctional, just as relativizing the basic principle of logic would render any rational conversation impossible.
The Archbishop's interview, frankly, reminded me of the discussions I had at the Synod on Synodality with some of my German colleagues. Under the rubric of the development of doctrine, they were eager to relativize or radically change the principles undergirding classical morality. If this was and is truly the game, we have ventured onto perilous seas.

I am again reminding people Leo was literally explaining why the Germans are never going to get their heresies approved.
This wasn't him being progressive - It was him doing a reverse uno on progressives.
How could anyone write this/publish this at a time when society needs to celebrate fathers and encourage more men to be engaged fathers? His whole premise was to abolish Father’s Day because the gifts suck. Talk about being tone-deaf. Shame on this news outlet.
