Indeed. BTW, have you read Msgr. Robert Hughes Benson "Lord of this World"? Uncanny how accurate he is eventhough it was written in 1907-10.

I have read that, and I did a report on it for school last year (public school unfortunately). It is quite unsettling how accurate his almost prophetic novel is.

If I may say so, your public school has done a fine job with you. Much better than some traddie dungeons I can think of.

Did you get a good grade on your report?

It does not call it the Manifesto but it is the age of Humanism when humans realize that God is gone, never was and they come to recognize their own deity. So, the exact word is not there but darned if the meaning is not the very same. Elizabeth, remember the Euthanasia crews?

Yes, I did, fortunately. It ended up being a discussion between my teacher and I about the Freemasonic infiltration of society, Protestantism, and the cult of man -- the rest of the class was in the dust. :)

LOL, way to go, Vlad.

One of my children at public school says the teachers have pictures of the BVM at their desks and/or wear Miraculous Medals, so go figure.

Thanks, Dawn. So.

Then it's either a play on words, the communist manifesto or

an allusion to Msr. Benson, or a combination of both.

Nobody who has read The Humanist Manifesto can

claim that nobody tried to warn him.

When I was in middle school, I had a math teacher who I saw at Mass every week, who sent all of his children to a Catholic school. It depends really, on where you live. I'd like to go to a Catholic school though, so that I could go to Mass every day....when I get out of the house, I will go to college near a Latin Mass location so that I can go to daily Mass....it is my only desire.
