How does "I realize your time is spent memorizing the catechism" advance a Catholic discussion?
4
Alas, I fear your nativity has left you with some degree of ignorance regarding the term "civics." Please do be more careful, as the progressives will point to your lack of knowledge as a reason to disregard your pro-traditional views. I realize your time is spent memorizing the catechism so you lack time to learn de...

Such disrespect for the transabled. Surely their time will come? "Gender dysphoria" is as much as socio-political term as it is a medical one. The term is used in preference to "gender identity disorder". DSM-5 introduces the term "gender incongruence" as a better identifying and less stigmatising term. The cause of t...

Brother, I have to humbly suggest that perhaps you don't completely know what "Magisterium" means, in this context. What I know is that a likely interpretation of A.L. seems to conflict with the indissolubility of marriage, or what constitutes a Grave Sin, or the fundamental rules to access the Holy Communion.

I have no clue where those statistics come from. Given the poor exit controls that exist, there are not many ways to measure the rate of overstays in a reliable way. DHS has so far only issues statistics about B-1/-2 and VWP overstays. It has not issued any statistics about other nonimmigrant categories.

Wow Jason15, should we all get refunds on taxes we pay, and don't directly benefit from. Since I don't have children, why do my tax dollars go towards the schools, buses, and teachers for the 12+ years of education for other people's children?

That's fine, but the state must stop being greedy and insisting that those that opt out of public schools continue to pay for them. Notice I'm not advocating that anyone take your tax dollars and apply them to a religious school for my child's benefit. I'm just advocating that since I also pay taxes, that whatever I pa...

Most hymns sung in churches are Atrocious, 200-300 years old, ancient and irrelevant. Music can and should be an integral part of liturgy if written today for today. Try Musical Liturgist Paul Hillebrand at St. Patrick's in Scottsdale, AZ for one. He composes his own for today's people.
