How The Church Of Nice Determines Its Ideas And Agenda

I understand that Pope Francis chewed out the Curia royally, chiding them for their "fifteen diseases".  His ire is misdirected.  He should be aiming his big guns at the Pontifical Council for Culture for spewing forth the following plop production - unless - (God forbid) he approved the promulgation of this trash.  Its alleged purpose?  To garner input from women

Well, Your Holiness, listen to this woman (me)!  If you really think any woman with two syncopated brain neurons will swoon over this clip and mindlessly obey its babbling, you are hopelessly out of touch with reality!  At best, I find this clip to be laughable.

What truly is lamentable is that this appears to be a serious attempt to garner input for a meeting of bishops scheduled for February 2015.  Has all the Vatican establishment become so cowed by the feminazis that they feel they must debase themselves by putting the name of the Pontifical Council to this slop?  Supposedly this is produced by the Church, but not once is the word "God" mentioned.  Should it not be God's will, discerned by prayer, that determines agendas for meetings?  If this is what the bishops need for input, I shudder to think of what the output will be.

Here's a fun game!  As you watch this banal clip, how many of the "fifteen diseases of the Curia" can you detect in it?  Let us all know via the comments!

Dems War On Men

That's Vortex's title for this clip.  I might call it "Dems War On Decency and Humanity".  Click here if you can't see embedded video.

Masculinity And The Catholic Church

The Vortex is running a series this week on Masculinity and the Catholic Church.  One of the installments is below (click here if you cannot see embedded video).  If you go to their Youtube channel, you'll see the whole series.

I've just one caveat.  The first video is labled "Why Men Don't Go To Mass".  While I can see how insipid liturgies would be a turn-off, the nonsense in those liturgies would not excuse the mortal sin against the Third Commandment inherent in the refusal to go to Mass.  I'd like to point out that masculine sensibilities are not the only ones offended by "barney masses", priests bringing their dogs with them to the altar, etc.  So here's my challenge to such fellows:  "Hey!  So you find the Mass a little too frilly and silly?  Well, so what??  Don't just sit there, whine and refuse to go - because that is mortal sin that will lead to your eternal damnation if you don't wise up and grow up!  Do something constructive about the situation - but make sure you go to Mass whether you feel like it or not.  In a word, man up and stop acting like petulant toddlers!  And yes, put on a suit and tie when you go!"
