I have no idea what will or won’t offend you. It’s not my job to effect change in women, that’s THEIR job - to cooperate with grace.
Isn't everyone's job to cooperate with grace, and doesn't that come from different places (yes I know it comes from God, I just met through different people and all the correct Catholic stuff), and are we suppose to help each other communicate better?
This society in general spends so much time at each other's throats, trying to look at what is wrong with everything, we don't look for the good that needs to built on.
I try to, for the most part, reread my posts and see if I was the one receiving how would I react, if it gets a bad reaction, then I adjust accordingly. Sometimes I am successful and sometimes I am not, but I keep trying. I think we forget that we are all very unique people on the other side of these usernames and that we should try to talk to these people like they are sitting in front of us.
I am sorry, I digress and I am sorry, I post like this too much. I just want a better Godly world and that only happens if we try to meet people where they are and help them to the Truth. Didn't some Saint say that?

"St. Francis of Assisi
is the premier example of a saint who met people where they were, famously embracing lepers, eating with outcasts, and preaching to the poor in their own surroundings. His approach focused on identifying with the marginalized and celebrating God's presence in all creation.
Other saints known for this approach include:
- St. Anthony of Padua: Traveled throughout Italy to preach to people, including heretics, by focusing on the grandeur of the faith rather than harsh condemnation.
- St. Paul the Apostle: Described in 1 Corinthians 9:19-21, he adapted his approach to engage with both Jews and Gentiles in their own contexts to share the Gospel.
- St. Francis de Sales: Known as the "Doctor of the Laity," he met people through gentle guidance and focused on holiness in everyday, ordinary life.
- St. John Vianney: Met the spiritual needs of thousands by spending up to 16 hours a day in the confessional. "
