    No, not even Muppets are spared in our culture war. Below is the cover of the new issue of The New Yorker.

    “It’s amazing to witness how attitudes on gαy rights have evolved in my lifetime,” said Jack Hunter, the artist behind the cover.  “This is great for our kids, a moment we can all celebrate.”

    Then again, in response to an 2011 online petition calling for Bert and Ernie to tie the knot, the Sesame Workshop’s Facebook page offered this statement:

    “Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics…they remain puppets, and do not have a sɛҳuąƖ orientation.”

    Platonic Muppets. Something to ponder.



    June, the month associated with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, has become the month of sodomy in North America. They perverted the rainbow and now they've perverted the month of June. June is the same month which holds the largest annual "Pride Week" in Toronto, Canada. An annual "pilgrimage" for sodomites if you will.

    It's crazy how fast everything is spiraling down. I couldn't imagine the US ever accepting ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ "marriage". Now children's tv shows are being used to pervert the young.

    Guess which show debuted on June 1st? A cartoon featuring a transgendered super hero! Shezow? Really?  http://wtvr.com/2013/05/30/new-transgender-superhero-cartoon/

    A television network is launching a new cartoon on June 1st, featuring a transgender superhero.

    It will be airing on kids cable channel “The Hub.” The episodes will star a boy who turns into a female superhero when he puts on his aunt’s ring.





    This really is a war between Catholicism and the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan. I'm having trouble believing this is all a coincidence, these men are intentionally waging war against the Church.

  • The message is clear (and has been). The attack on Faith and Morals begins with children. Its easy to corrupt our youth. They are not quite logical. People used to live on farms and in closer union with nature. As Bishop Williamson says, now, as people have moved to 'the city', kids can't just look out their window and see nature.

    They sɛҳuąƖize and introduce sɛҳuąƖization to children who don't know better. I'm waiting for the request demand, as someone put it, for God to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

    I get so tired of people offering their unsolicited advice about how my wife and I need to ensure that our children socialize with others. They have a very tight circle of friends, and that's the way it'll stay until they move out. We refuse to bow to pressure from others who let their children dress any way they want, for example, just so their little darlings engage in "socialization" with others.
    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

    I've seen Orthodox Jєωs raise their children this way. This method of raising pious children works and Catholics who are willing to compromise are cowards.

    I've also spoken with Muhammadan women who wear head coverings and the typical garb (minus the face mask). They're not ashamed of dressing modestly whatsoever, in fact, they take it as a badge of honor. They feel dignified and superior to women who dress immodestly, they pity immodest women and view them as being lost and confused.

    All that being said, the Orthodox Jєωs usually don't have TV's in their house mansion, and if they do it's some ancient box collecting dust in the basement. The Muhammadans on the other hand are being corrupted by TV. One woman I spoke with said her 3 year old son watched some pre-school tv show (Toopy and Binoo) where the main character is a cross dresser. Her son tried imitating him and she started getting worried.

    Quote
    While Toopy appears to play a male role in most episodes, in some episodes he plays a female role, such as in "Princess Toopy", where Toopy dresses up as a princess and kisses frogs, trying to turn them into a prince

    Patchy-Patch is Binoo's doll, and he is covered with patches. Patchy-Patch rescues Little Bo Toopy, Mermaid Toopy, and Princess Toopy in the episode "Song and Dance".

    In each episode there are "Fabulous You" segments, featuring Toopy and Binoo as superheroes who help their friends when they have nothing to play with. The segments encourage viewers (referred to in the show as "Fabulous You") to participate in the adventures and use their imaginations.


    They don't need to corrupt teenagers anymore, now they target 2-5 years olds.

    In case anyone missed it, God already has apologize to
    Sodom and Gomorrah, but He has done so in his own, perfect
    way, which is not exactly obvious to us, which would be why
    some may have missed it:  


    "11 And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.
    12 And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.
    13 And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
    14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.
    15 Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city" (Mt. x.).



    WE ARE THAT CITY.

    "another milestone" in regards to Bert & Ernie?

  • Ahem, about the transgender superhero...
    the fifth season of the anime series BSSM didn't get to many countries due to many reasons. Maybe the fears over censorship by the Western people, in then last season, the series had 3 transgender characters... on the good side! (I don't know what audience did this anime target, as I've seen an R-18 rating on the original manga yet they were marketing the anime for the youth (older, maybe teens as the importer of the uncut versions deemed the series suitable for ages over 13) by selling dolls, toys (not collectibles!).) Three seasons out of the five dealt with LGBT themes. The first season had ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs in the evil gang, the third had lesbians in the good team and a little girl thinking them as her parents. I've heard rumours that it was banned in Hungary due to a bug in the French dub (making one of the lesbians a transgender).
    If it targeted the youth, then the gαy agenda have crept and hid cleverly in this series. Plus, the attitude towards fictional transgenderism in animation bugs me. If the Japanese did that, they attack them... yet they didn't pull Johnny Test from air.
    America is similar. They had to make the lesbians into "cousins" and remove any evidence for their forbidden "love".
    In the past, they didn't allow a transgender hero on screen... now they're brainwashing our children.

    I get this pressure from so-called trad family members.  They don't understand that we genuinely enjoy being at home and being together without others present.  We don't feel a need to socialize with others.  Although we do at Resistance Masses where the other families are just as "isolated".  It's just a way for worldly people to justify their lifestyle.

    Not being the OP I can't be 100% certain; after reading the post I believed J.Paul was being sarcastic.

    I believe that God created Man to be social -- to seek and need the companionship of others. One of the worst forms of torture is solitary confinement. That is also why even religious usually need the company of others -- a vocation to the eremetic (hermit) life is rare, even among religious vocations.

    So it's important for Catholic parents to help their children find other like-minded children -- even if they're not perfect or exactly like your family in every way (this is important) -- so they can have some friends and socialization. If you want your children to not crave the attention and affection of worldlings, family sacrifices need to be made to this end. Devoting a whole Sunday to visiting with a family from church, for example.

    It's also important to shelter your children up to a certain age. I'm talking about pure, un-apologetic, keeping your children from the world. This should be done up to a certain age. Those under 7 aren't well-formed in your family's culture, beliefs, or religion. Throwing them to the wolves to go survive "in the real world" under that age is just foolish.

    However, it's equally important to not treat your 12 year old like a 7 year old. As your children get older, you need to explain the WHY of things, and not just rely continually on the argument of authority "because I said so". You need to start weaning yourself off using that phrase with your children as they pass the age of reason. By the time they are over 10, you really should seldom have to use it.

    Usually, there is a good, rational/religious reason for everything you command your children to do.

    But treating your children like criminals and/or children -- when they are teenagers -- is a recipe for disaster. You almost REQUIRE them to rebel in such a case. Some parents can be very negative -- not trusting their children when they really should. Not trusting them when they have every reason to trust them, and no evidence that they shouldn't trust them. It's very sad.

    Absolutely.  That's why we stay away from my family members and socialize only with people who are as you said "like-minded".
