Here is an article on "sɛҳuąƖ pollution" which is basically what I was trying to say in my comments above, I just didn't know there was a term for it.

"Given all that I’ve offered in the way of obvious, demonstrable ill effects on human nature, how could anyone deny that there is such a thing as sɛҳuąƖ pollution? How much more destruction is needed? How much more harm can we sustain without social collapse? And finally, at what point will the sɛҳuąƖ revolution admit defeat, and confess that the Catholic Church was right all along about sex."

What's disturbing is the rapid rise of Satanism in the USA. For some years we have had a satanic temple in CA and the there is even an organised cult of Ahriman, the Persian "Angel of Darkness," whose cult in the East has been a horrific and even bloody one. The cult in NY is the most responsible for the public black masses and, I believe but maybe mistaken, the "after school Satan club" program being introduced to the public schools.


Aside from all that is the multitude of children who play with witchcraft, the ouijia board, "Charlie Charlie" and so on.

"Man-buns".........nuff said.

It is very disturbing that everyone seems stuck on a level of complete hysteria.

But they're actually not unheard of in history........

What I mean is it seems that reason has been truly cast aside. It seems that quite often people are thinking with their passions, their emotions only. Pope Leo XIII, of blessed memory, wrote that when men reject God and the divine law, their intellects become darkened. I think this is what is happened.

You're right, and it wasn't just Leo XIII.

Modernism and Thomism don't mix, and that's why Thomism had to be sapped and undermined first.

To go against Scholastic Philosophy is to attack reason and the faith.

Reason deprived is madness, is blindness.

Rationalism and Naturalism were the heralds of the errors we see today.

1. Try to be less of a person like that. It's a "disease" that we all have to some degree. It's like sea air and iron. Rust is always forming. Basic prayer and studies. Big things are made of little, humble things. Try to make a big thing makes a big mess. "Small things with great love" as the little flower says.
2. The K.I.S.S. principle. There's no point digging into grammar if we don't know any words.
3. Remember I'm not God.Something else we tend to not even see that we have fallen into. Self-love is idolatry in disguise. We convert none.
4. Remember the joke when beating the wall. "Doc, it hurts when I do this."

"Then don't. That'll be 400$"
God doesn't compel, so what makes us so special? We can rarely if ever be of better will than we are of the moment, so why do we think ourselves able to make gold of another's leaden hearts? We surely can't make a stupid ass, esp. ourselves, into pegasus either. It's  a waste of time wrangling with the bad willed or the willfully stupid. The humbly "stupid" are another matter. If someone "can't" answer the simplest of y/n questions clearly, directly, and sans superfluity, how likely is a more complex issue going to fare any better? It is going to make it worse due to the complexity.

5. The hardest thing save humility: patience. This prevents us from doing the gruelling, exactly one thing at a time, work all the way through so that we lay one brick well before another. What we really do is make a daisy chain of assertive claymores and maKe a loud, smelly, rotting mess. we rarely get one small thing right. If we did that, bit by bit we'd build something that endures instead of these bickering sandcastles throw down more quickly than they were up.

something else about patience (and faith) We're given a comparison of the faith and things of in terms if seeds and plants; so tell me(this is also how men tend to be with women too), why do we expect to be able to see it happen, and all at once? If it were up to us our gardens would leap from toasters.

How do you deal?

 Thank you.
 How do you even begin to deal with people who operate on that level? If you try to reason through with any argument, especially about the Faith or politics, it's like beating your head against a wall.

It is very disturbing that everyone seems stuck on a level of complete hysteria.

I guess idiots are easier to dominate.
