Well quoted - I enjoy his work as well.
The Bible was already translated into other languages, and distributed as much as the technology of that time could allow. The further distribution was inevitable with the printing press. https://catholicexchange.com/the-untold-story-of-how-catholics-first-translated-scripture-into-english
Dollars to donuts you’re right. “Hey - you’re a GMO with the vaccine, why not like the same tech for making better food!”
A kind of new apartheid and yellow star rolled into one. Wondered how those would get back into “acceptability” column - all with the gleam of apparent moral superiority and calling everyone who disagrees a Nazi. You’re doing it UK gov - the history thing repeating - you’re that thing. It’s doesn’t turn out well.
If they do this, then many who are excluded will yell - what about the rest of us?! And then you get people all yelling for this damn thing. Move accomplished. It’s like watching a Go game play out. What will be funny to watch though, is a city do it, and wind up with a ton of folks moving there, and also claiming they are identify as the correct category for the money. w00t!!
Biden’s First Public Reading of Answers from a Teleprompter, attempting to say the answers out loud AFTER the question is asked. It’s really an amazing feat.
And if he won’t take a crack at answering real Iive question, I can’t imagine how HUNTER BUSTS IN cCCCRACk? Where where?! Sniff sniff sniff
In animals it sometimes shows up as an act of pure dominance - like a type of a humiliation and putting one in ones place in the hierarchy. Sometimes it’s animal overcrowding (aka prison) - shows up sometimes with mothers also killing and eating their young. Sometimes some animals are just getting off. Dogs aren’t gay for legs and endtables - they’re just horny little bastards that have no self control. There could be some misprogramming there too - some individual animals don’t fill other imperatives like fleeing danger or eating the right things. We are more complex creatures, but I see your point. I just think socialization has a heavy impact on innate tendencies and temperaments for humans.
And of that more gay ephebophilia - men approaching male teens. The root of this issue in the Church currently is the phenomenal impact of the sexual revolution on the psychology taught in many seminaries (those places trying to “keep up with the times”) and the intentional infiltration of seminaries as a communistic destabilizing technique. Look up Bella Dodd and Taylor Marshall as leads for researching infiltration.
An inherited temperament can make some people especially vulnerable to influence of people or stress. Perhaps a boy whose temperament really means he really needs leadership or role models, or safety, or is a highly emotional and shy person, and is exposed to a sexual groomer, or a strongly dysfunctional parent, instead of a healthy role model and guide, is going to be more easily led in that direction or held there in fear. Temperaments can incline us to fall in particular ways when put to the test. Some people are abused or neglected and their temperament inclines them to be violent, or drink, or be compulsive. Some people also are inclined to violate boundaries and thrill seek. That could be taken in the direction of a daring career, or negatively into violence, crime or degeneracy.
I think temperament is inherited, and this our vulnerabilities, and trauma or temptation hit those differently for different people.
Something doesn’t have to be of benefit to be passed on, it just has to not totally prevent an individual from reproducing. Otherwise all insanity and malady would have vacated the human race.
In addition, choices or uncontrollable events have impacts for generations, sometimes through immediate genetic/biologic alterations (go look up stress trauma from war getting encoded and passed on in one generation), and sometimes through the micro-culture of the family, and even spiritually. Things like abuse or violence echo down - impacting survivors purely as a stress factor, and if triumphed over completely with a healthy moral life, the virtue of having overcome that harm benefits the generations. Worst is when the behavior is passed on/taught to the next generation.
A large amount of bad behavior, and a number of maladies are totally not beneficial for humans, but like viruses, tag along and get passed on. Sometimes they get so bad, no one is left to reproduce, and civilizations disappear in murder, disease, or depravity.
There is no aspect of life that politics is not encroaching upon. Hearing the latest dirt about the local drain commissioner or the minutia of legislative procedures, or what a dope Mitch McConnell is - no, not really a good use of sermon time. But the philosophy and effects of politics is very important teaching matter for a homily - as example, the effects of recently passed “equality” (transgender) bills on the Church, the Catholic understanding of the human person and gender, and why it’s incompatible with Wokeness, etc - all very much needed, as well as tackling the pursuit of supernatural virtue, the nature of Grace, the four last things, etc. Every age has its crises, but to not address the political battlefield at all in this time of global ideological war is to be asleep at the pulpit. Woke-ism/Marxism is a religion and well as a politic - many Christians who are not taught or realize on their own why Woke-ism is a false religion are jumping ship and leaving their Faith for it.
Poly unsaturated trans-fat people exist, and Oreo is making it happen.
Yeah, I saw that proviso - but it still seems like one could avoid the BIG name Dems, and just litter it with bad data (without flaggable profanity).
There’s been a big disparity there between the average person and those in power over them, and when it was barbaric communists it was horrific. Look up the “Cristeros War + communist Masonic” - basically a communistic government takeover by people who despised their own citizens decided to basically outlaw being Catholic....in Mexico.

Murdered and tortured people of all ages - hellish things were done. The people fought back amazingly, organized big militias, communication and supply lines, did as best they could without being able to get the amount of ammo they needed to hold all the territory they gained back. Didn’t concede, but were tricked and politically betrayed. There’s some heavy history down there, and sadly many have already forgotten when and how socialist politik was introduced.
Commucratic Party
That’s a bit of an urban legend - translators had been translating on for centuries, and were honored for the effort.
The issue with translations is always how faithful they are to the intent or text. Like if a Portlander translated the Constitution into Portlandese, the second amendment might be rendered “ability to have a flint-lock long rifle”. Translators easily change the meaning of a text - it’s something they strive to avoid or mitigate, or take full advantage of. It’s a very interesting topic.
Another model of pillow is called the Arkanicider - it presses firmly across the face, with Velcro straps attaching at back of head. Double tap optional.
Perhaps it will become “elgeebeeteeexwhyzeeee”
This Marxist bullshit is racist - it’s a huge insult and offense to the immigrants that went through hell to escape communist countries to make their home in the United States.
You can use amazon to find products and read reviews, then lookup the vendors selling the item - very often you will find one that is an actual store. You then buy from them directly and cut Amazon out.
Example - I recently was looking for a particular book. On Amazon, I looked up each vendor selling that book - some were US based and a lot were overseas. The US ones I searched to see if they had a physical address. Thriftbooks was the most legit looking, had their own site, and I wound up buying more books with my order. Have gotten the books now.
A little more work, but worth it to starve the beast.
Condolences and peace to you - will remember your mom at Mass tomorrow.
Flags over the graveyard of American freedom.
Also - Fr Ripperger has a very insightful article that discusses the particular failures of the parents of the hippie generation, essentially teaching their children hedonism.
He goes on from there to the cascading effects on subsequent generations, into overt satanism. It’s a good read, rings eerily true.
See and raise - time for a copy of the same sign, but with 12 feet or more. Scream TWELVE FEET then wave around the pepper spray.
