@ZacKaizen@allie__voss Yeah, I suspect the problem is actually thinking we have *full* control over these things at all. Seems wiser to say big family or small family. Though my husband and I both wanted 3 and we’re in our way to 7 😆
But yes…she gave a firm answer here. Break up makes sense
@xtheadventx@allie__voss@PatsKam Not nearly as useful as the Bible for most of the literature they’d actually encounter in the limited options they have time for in a curriculum. But which ones would you suggest?
@xtheadventx@allie__voss@PatsKam Oh yeah, no one is proposing not teaching world history. Teaching biblical stories is part of the lit curriculum. It helps open up an understanding of literature.
@xtheadventx@allie__voss@PatsKam The already read ancient mythology and other religious texts aren’t necessary to understand the western canon of literature.
Growing up in TX, I took BBQ for granted. We had it at every wedding! And weddings are big so I went to a lot! But now I’m not in TX and all the Europeans and Japanese experiencing real BBQ has me homesick.
@ConradEduard@CharlesinRome@amywelborn2 Pastor. When he initiated the rule, the staff mentioned that the good Lord usually gives women a little more time between babies so he is effectively requiring the class every time. He dismissed that critique.
@EnjoyerG3@CharlesinRome Our parish made a family take it for the baptism of their 15th child bc it had been more than 18 months since they took it for their previous child. 15th!!!
@ConradEduard@CharlesinRome@amywelborn2 My parish priest requires we take the baptism class if it’s been more than 18 months since we have taken it. My 6 children are about 2 years apart. So yes, I have to take it every time. I’m also a volunteer catechist
@allie__voss People really don’t understand how a man’s confidence makes him instantly more attractive. It’s why women need to give more men a chance to meet in person. There is so much more than a profile pic in a dating app
@ConceptualJames@BuckSexton Exactly. It’s a both/and. Many things cost more. Others cost less. But giving up and over consuming and knowing nothing about saving money is also a problem
@5149jamesli CS Lewis himself said that if would be unfair to bring his wife back bc it would be requiring her to go through death again and she is already partaking of the beatific vision.
@RosaryQuotes123 I was there with my family!! The people were chanting “papa Leone” which my 2 y.o. turned into “Papa A-O-Lay” and now he’s 3 and still asks me to look at pictures of “Papa A-O-Lay” ❤️
@MattWalshBlog But the guys running the show right now are the ones who signed The Great Barrington Declaration, so I think we can expect a rational, balanced approach
