Podcaster and former MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann led the charge on X, disparaging Butker by saying, he "isn't even considered an actual football player by other football players and he's going to spew his bulls*** religion-based misogyny without consequences?"
It's safe to say Olbermann probably never played any sport much less football and an omega male such as himself doesn't have the womyn beating down a path to his door. Every place he's ever left they were glad to be rid of him and NBC's Sunday Night Football's ratings went up when he left.
The reaction from the Bolsheviks on the internet was and is predictable and so was the reaction from the Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, the sponsors of Benedictine College.
More interested in how they're esteemed in the world's eyes than how they're esteemed in God's eyes. And the mindless drones that are the products of these colleges and universities secular and "Catholic" cheer statements like those given by these nuns.You cannot view this attachment.

Last post by KreKre - May 16, 2024, 07:48:04 PMBeing bitter about the present state of the Church does nobody any good. It just damages the faith and hope, which are essential for our salvation.
God has promised that the Church will not fail. Those who doubt that, doubt God. Think about the consequences of that.
Indulging in vulgar rants, filled with despair and hatred, will only lead you away from God. Instead, this sermon gives you the practical way to go about this:

Arts and Leisure / Re: Is [i]The Lord of the Ring...
Last post by misericonfit - May 16, 2024, 07:33:25 PMAnswer: It is profoundly Catholic.
One of the best proofs of this, is the series of essays about it - and about the legendarium generally - on the website "The Flame Imperishable": https://jonathansmcintosh.wordpress.com/ which is "A blog about Tolkien, St. Thomas, and other purveyors of the Philosophia Perennis." The emphasis is very strongly on Tolkien and the legendarium.
That the legendarium is Catholic in spirit, emerges from the implied docttines of Providence. free will, and the interplay between them.
That Melkor cannot create, but can only pervert, presupposes the doctrine that evil is a parasite upon good. That this is so, is shown throughout the legendarium.
Aragorn is, in almost all respects, the ideal Catholic Monarch. He even dies well.
Gollum's craving for the Ring is a study in excessive "attachment to things of earth". It is one of many examples in which characters fail to "put their loves in order". Morgoth fails to do so. Feänor fails to do so. The Numenoreans eventually fail to do so. Saruman fails to do so. Gollum fails to do so. Boromir fails to do so.
There is a respect for hallowed places as special, and not to be put to "common" uses. This comes out in the description of the Meneltarma, the holy mountain of Numenor. It is so sacred that it is climbed only thrice in the year. No-one speaks on its top but the King alone, and only to give thanks to Eru Iluvatar. In Minas Tirith, Rath Dinen, the "Silent Street", is reserved for the tombs of the Kings & the Stewards, and no speech is permitted. Great respect is shown by the cultures of Elves & Men to the remains of the dead.
There is only One Creator. The Ainur, the "holy ones", are "the offspring of his thought"; and their power to make is purely sub-creative. They can sub-create well, only in dependence on their Creator; when they try, like Melkor, to set up on their own, their power of sub-creation becomes no more than a power to tyrannise and pervert and ruin both those who are less than they, and themselves.
These are just some of the indications of the theological, philosophical & religious character of the books.

The Bookstore / Re: RULE/MARTYROLOGY THREAD
Last post by OmniaInstaurareInChristo - May 16, 2024, 07:30:08 PMThe reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for May 17:
CHAPTER III
Of calling the Brethren to Council
As often as any important matters have to be transacted in the monastery, let the Abbot call together the whole community, and himself declare what is the question to be settled. And, having heard the counsel of the brethren, let him consider within himself, and then do what he shall judge most expedient. We have said that all should be called to council, because it is often to the younger that the Lord revealeth what is best. But let the brethren give their advice with all subjection and humility, and not presume stubbornly to defend their own opinion; but rather let the matter rest with the Abbot's discretion, that all may submit to whatever he shall judge to be best. Yet, even as it becometh disciples to obey their master, so doth it behove him to order all things prudently and with justice.
Martyrology-May 18th
Roman Martyrology-May 18th- on this date in various years-
At Camerino, the holy martyr Venantius, who, at fifteen years of age, along with ten others, ended a glorious ordeal by being beheaded under Emperor Decius and the governor Antiochus.
The birthday of St. John I, pope and martyr, who was called to Ravenna by the Arian king of Italy, Theodoric, and died there after being in prison a long time for the true faith. His feast, however, is celebrated on the 27th of May, the day on which his revered body was taken to Rome and buried in the basilica of St. Peter, prince of the apostles.
At Spoleto, St. Felix, a bishop who obtained the palm of martyrdom under Emperor Maximian.
At Heraclea in Egypt, Bishop St. Potamon, first a confessor under Maximian Galerius, and afterwards, a martyr under Emperor Constantius, and the Arian governor Philagrius. Athanasius and Epiphanius, Fathers of the Church, have sung the praises of this holy man.
In Egypt, St. Dioscorus, a lector, who was subjected by the governor to many and diverse torments, such as the tearing off of his nails and the burning of his sides with torches; but a light from heaven having prostrated the executioners, the saint's martyrdom was finally ended by having red-hot metal plates applied to his body.
At Ancyra in Galatia, the martyr St. Theodotus, and the holy virgins Thecusa, his aunt, Alexandra, Claudia, Faina, Euphrasia, Matrona, and Julitta. They were at first taken to a place of debauchery, but the power of God prevented them from evil, and they later had stones fastened to their necks and were plunged into a lake. For gathering the remains and burying them honorably, Theodotus was arrested by the governor, and after having been horribly lacerated, was put to the sword, and thus received the crown of martyrdom.
At Upsal in Sweden, St. Eric, king and martyr.
At Rome, St. Felix, confessor of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, celebrated for his evangelical simplicity and charity. He was inscribed on the roll of the saints by the Sovereign Pontiff Clement XI.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.

The two books on Calvinism are critiques; both of them quote at length what they critise.
