First off, men need war.

Absolutely ridiculous, and quite contrary to Church teaching. But then again, so is much of what you say.

This is something I read in an article about masculinity in America. Often young boys imitate themselves as being warriors, hunters, adventurers etc. I guess war is not something we need per say, but it is something that men are meant to do if necessary. The Church allows for war if it is a just cause.

First off, equating hunting and other adventures to war to simply ridiculous. There is no other way to put it.

Secondly, I acknowledge that men should be willing to fight if called to do so during a just war. That is a far cry, however, from suggesting that "men need war."

No one today but the big flamers is more effeminate than the French nobility (the rich) were like in the what, 1300's to 1850's? Sounds like men in prosperous countries are going that way now? It was used as a sign of culture, education, and refinement. I think many French priests use it that way today.

Personally, I think it is a mortal sin to act that way, the sin of bad example for youths.

The French nobility of the 1300's through the 1500's were a warrior elite. Effeminate? That's an absolutely absurd statement to make.

Notice I put a question mark on it. You tell me the years. All those movies about French nobility that show the men acting effeminate are from what time? after the Renaissance?

Perhaps passing judgment on a culture based on what you've seen of it in movies is not that great an idea to begin with.

Sorry, Bowler. I stopped reading when you said "movies".

You can't trust the a Jєωιѕн institution (Hollywood) to be faithful in portraying the heyday of Christendom.

I took this from the New American Standard translation. I am not sure, but I thought this was a Catholic translation.
