Summary: The government”s approval of homosexuals in the military this week is a dark portent of things to come. Eventually, army chaplains will not be allowed to talk about the sanctity of marriage, and this thinking will work its way into the fabric of society. Public school teachers will probably be forced to back the acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle.
The twin apostolates of prayer and the education of young women are pursued by the Visitation Sisters of Georgetown. Are you searching for God”s calling? Consider a life with the Washington, DC.
Today”s feast of the Holy Family brings to mind the teaching that marriage exists for the propagation of children and for the mutual support of husband and wife. Anything that goes against nature, and against the true understanding of men and women will hurt us.
There has been a new attitude since the invention of the Pill in the 1960″s. It changed forever what we understand about love. If love is simply pleasure — physical coupling — then no rules apply. We need a deep understanding of a healthy and holy relationship between men and women. This will give us stronger, happy families.
