Men have always disrespected women....since Adam blamed Eve for his original sin. But now women are better respected as doctors, lawyers, CPA'S, and CEO's.
Here’s a problem with requiring a divorce. You’re requiring someone to commit a grave evil against natural law? (CCC 2383) when there is another option on the table civilly (Legal Separation)? So, there is another option. That covers the footnote in the Catechism (in the US at least). A real problem.
My abortion story: At 19 weeks, I developed HELLPS. My clinic and doctor were part of a catholic hospital. To save my life, my doctor lost her job when she transferred me to a real hospital to get medical treatment. The catholic church has no right to pretend to provide medical care. A pro child community controled by catholics looks like more dead women.

Abortion is medically and legally defined as the termination of a pregnancy. Induced or therapeutic are used to describe why the abortions are performed. Stop lying!
It is not morally permissible to sterilize half of a woman's reproductive system when an abortion can medical treat the same condition without abdominal surgery. This is a myth.
What HV did not do is expand on chastity with help to coiples and to parents, and also very importantly and in biew of the qcuaes, help to priests in their celibacy. The time gas come. Expanging and complementing the Thrology of the Body.
Let us not forget for one minute how contraception hurts the woman, by tricking her body and emotions. Feminist? Of course not. Unless feninism is taken as "to have sex and not conceive"... like Simone de Beauvoir... And many regretfully "swallow that pill".
If children do not have that intimate and trusting relationship at home, other avenues should exist within the Church, schools specially parents groups... to counterbalance the present overwhelming associating of love with contraceptive sexual activity, and indeed other relationships that do not even involve a relstionship of a kind of love. And many thanks for this! I think pro life is moving towards the understanding and challenging of "the root" in contraception. For the last 30 years I have been telling pro life groups that we need to challenge the root of the contraceptive mentality. And this coming now is great now....
It should have been obvious to begin with that taking powerful exogenous hormones that disrupt your reproductive cycle is going to have negative consequences long term.
This is a good video, showing that it's not just a selfish female, "MY body, MY choice!" having her own way, or the parents/grandparents-to-be, affected. Now if peeps would get their acts together and save their intimacy for marriage, where a child is welcomed, instead of thinking intimacy is just a (SELFISH) recreational fun time. †✝
As per your conversation re promoting labeling transparency legislatively re use of embryos, etc., is there a general email/template constituents can send to their legislators? Thanks! Enjoyed your show.
We currently don't have any templates. I would recommend checking our guest's organization's website (Children of God for Life: cogforlife.org/). They may have some resources/recommendations there. Thanks for listening and for your concern about these issues!

O God Almighty, help this child of Yours and those alike to have with them somebody to teach them Your unending mercy. For You are Good, O LORD and You are Providing Us. Make the one requesting able to be involved, and to succeed with Your blessings thst the child would believe in You, the Rightous God, Maker of heavens and earth. Be with him or her, In Jesus Christ' Name! Amen!
At 34:51, the interviewer reads a definition of brain death and calls it the "Catholic definition of brain death." What she is reading is the text of the Uniform Determination of Death Act, on which the laws of many states in the U.S. are based. It is misleading to call this definition "the Catholic definition." As Joseph Meaney says earlier in the interview, there is not a definitive Catholic magisterial teaching on brain death. It's quite important to be clear about this, and also not to conflate American legal definitions with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Thanks for the clarification! You're correct that the phrasing comes from the Uniform Determination of Death Act, not Catholic magisterial teaching. This could certainly cause confusion. The point we were trying to make is that that this particular definition of brain death may be accepted by Catholics (as confirmed by the NCBC here: www.ncbcenter.org/resources-and-statements-cms/faq-on-the-determination-of-death-using-neurological-criteria-brain-death). However, this does not necessarily hold true for other definitions. As always, proper rigorous testing must be used to ensure that the patient is really, truly dead.
@@HumanLifeInternational Thank you for your response! You are right that some definitions of brain death are clearly at odds with the Catholic understanding of the human person. For example, the idea of higher brain death, in which brain stem function continues, is a definition of death that Catholics must reject, because it equates being alive with the capacity for consciousness. But you and your listeners may find it helpful to know that there are numerous reputable Catholic scholars, faithful to the Church's Magisterium, who are not convinced by the the position that "irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem" is a sign that death has occurred, and thus would take exception to the definition you read in the interview. The Church has not definitively resolved this issue. Orthodox Catholic thinkers are continuing to probe and clarify this question. If the idea that total brain failure equals the death of the patient is in fact a conceptual error, then a patient diagnosed as "brain dead" would not for that reason be dead, no matter how rigorously the tests are performed. As you can see, there's a lot at stake in this debate.
You're correct that there is a lot at stake when it comes to determining the moment of death! Michael Vacca discussed the opinion that brain death is generally inaccurate on one of our previous episodes.

Taking into account my own experience, the most important issues are usually endogenic, that is, present within our own minds, personalities, hearts and souls. These could be termed as brokenness, disorders wounds, be it of spiritual, mental or corporeal nature, ranging from consequences of past sinful lives, demonic influence through generational sins, curses, etc., trauma and (un)diagnosed psychiatric disorders, such as autism spectrum. If these problems and issues are fixed (if they are even fixable), then finding a spouse is much more feasible. It remains a challenge, though, as these times are spiritually harsh and difficult with rampant sin, widespread influence of evil through the destruction of marriage, family and charity, with hearts gone cold and barely capable of love. But it is still doable - at least for some. But if one's mental attic is messy and the wrecked house of one's personality unrepaired (or improperly repaired), then failure is inevitable. However, the realization usually comes a long time after the damage was done: one becomes aware of one's own brokenness and unresolved troubles much later on when it is usually too late, as these disordered characteristics become fixed, solidified, frequently changing a person into a weird freak, or even a creep, an emotional, personal, even a spiritual wreck: like a damaged or rundown building or a car banger. Often, many a person only has Catholic faith in God to hold them together by the Grace of God, with almost no suitable human background to be able to form meaningful relationships, especially with a spouse in Catholic marriage, as this background, the natural framework, is for the most part mangled, damaged, ruined, so the person is barely hanging on, being kept alive by Divine Mercy, the supernatural life support, enabling that person to at least keep alive and not much else - in the realm of what that person ought to do by their own effort (e.g., those more demanding "upgrades" to life, such as marriage and family), save from basic Christian existence with extensive support of one's neighbors sent by Divine Providence to help them and take care of them insofar as that person is unable to help themselves. Certain people are merely survivors sitting or standing atop a heap of their life's ruins. And I know I'm one of them. An interesting account from a renowned psychotherapist has made a deep impression on my mind ever since I read it. He once said something along these lines: good quality men and women usually find each other (and marry) until the age of 30. What remains after that, is what remains. A man who was single up to the age of 35 and never entered a relationship with a woman before this age, becomes an eccentric, a weirdo, because ha has never had to adapt to other people. The first statement was made known to me after I was 30. I knew for a fact that it was more or less true. The second one was made known to me before I was 35. And when I reached that age, I had already been deep into that weirdness.
Many thanks for this.. We need to stop promoting dating and return to the culture of chaperones and courting.. My generation and the current generation were and are very badly served by the concept of dating.,. It simply sets people up for getting drawn into bad relationships because of the mismatch of expectations of what "dating" means and what the aim is.. warmest regards, Karen in Cambridge
Great advice! The one thing I might take issue with is the promotion of dances for young singles. Saints such as John Vianney, Louis de Montfort, Francis de Sales, and numerous others, all came out very strongly in opposition to dances, declaring that they cause more harm than good and ought to be avoided. Most Catholics don't realize dances are a relatively novel phenomenon in Catholic social life (but also society in general) and I would urge all serious Catholics to at least look into what these great saints have to say about dances before they decide to attend a future dance. Peace in Christ, friends.
Why would the algorithm serve this up - to me? Someone’s whose Catholic GPA dipped below 2.0 a few times. Anyway, I met a Catholic woman and 26 years later it’s never been better. Our kids also, without pushing it, found Catholics! In short, get out there and mix it up!
Thanks a lot for your insights! I am a 24-year old Catholic man, single since birth, never had a girlfriend before. With a lot of people, especially women, already holding beliefs that are contrary to our faith or thinking of their pets as "babies", I find it tough to find a woman who shares the same values that I hold.
New episode dropping at midnight! Are you single? Are you looking for a spouse? On this episode, Rachel Hoover Canto shares her *actually* helpful advice for intentional dating. #catholic #dating #catholicdating #catholicchurch #prolife #profamily #spouse #datingformarriage #catholicpodcast #podcast #livingacultureoflife
This how feminism is destroying society. Single parent homes. Kids need to grow up with both parents to have a proper perspective on relationships and being a person.
Not necessarily true. If even one of them is toxic or a mess it can really fuck up a child. If both parents are emotionally healthy, all it does is increase the likelihood that the child will experience stability in their life. That's the important part. Psychologically, it has little to do with father or mother and mkre to do with the stability of the upbringing, though the social value we place on traditional nuclear families plays a role, of course.
@@SwordTunethis is not true! It is better for a child psychologically to have both parents at home- this brokenness you’re talking about is directly related to not have a stable mother and father!!! Children have the RIGHT to live with both a mother and a father and every statistical marker shows children with both parents in the home do better and in every aspect of life!!! Feminism DID and does make for broken homes and fatherless children- FACT.
True. But even taking gender out of it.... if they have two parents... their odds are better that at least one of them is a good person. A POS single mom offers no alternative. @SwordTune
People please, stop believing - AND SPREADING - this misinformation! We are born this way and it's okay! Some people are just different. It's not bad, it's just different. This netflix movie explains in more detail what i'm saying. It's called "Pray Away". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tk_CqGVfxEs.html
No. You were NOT born that way. You made a choice. Stop denying the fact. There is absolutely no such thing as a "gay gene". If there was, how could it be passed on if homosexual couples can't reproduce. It's impossible and illogical. Plus, if SOCE was outlawed, it would deny any person in the homosexual lifestyle the right to leave if they willfully want to leave. The government legally cannot pass any law that says "All gays must remain gay". It's unfair, unconscionable, and unconstitutional. Change IS possible. Banning SOCE would violate the 14th amendment. Also, using a movie as "proof"? C'mon.
