The Great Abdication: Male Surrender, Social Ruin, and the Testimony of Scripture and the Fathers ## I. The Charge Against Men This is not an attack on women. It is an indictment of men. The disorder of the last century is not, at its root, the fault of women who stepped into vacated authority, or children who ran wild without formation, or institutions that hollowed out from within. These are symptoms. The disease is male abdication — the systematic surrender by men of the governing offices they were constituted by God and nature to hold. Scripture does not flatter men on this point. The first catastrophe in human history is narrated with a detail that the tradition has never allowed to pass without comment. When the serpent comes to Eve in the garden, Adam is standing beside her and says nothing. St. John Chrysostom observes directly: > "The woman was deceived; the man was not deceived but sinned with open eyes... He stood there and said nothing, when he should have rebuked the enemy …More

András LÁSZLÓ MEP @laszloan The "investigative journalist" who published the fake news about Russian interference in the Hungarian election campaign just got busted. In a leaked audio recording he admits that: - he is in touch with a foreign secret service - he shared the phone number of the foreign minister with them - he received the call logs of the foreign minister and some transcripts of his calls from foreign services - he is a friend of the foreign minister candidate of the opposition and can call the shots on personnel issues and ask to look into files. The journalist, Szabolcs Panyi, works for a portal called VSquare. VSquare is funded by NED, USAID,GMF, EU funded projects like IJ4EU
Erika Kirk’s DELETED IG Posts EXPOSE She & Cabot Phillips PLOTTED Against Charlie for YEARS youtube.com/watch?v=Co9yD0ZnDJY Erika Kirk’s DELETED IG Posts EXPOSE She & Cabot Phillips PLOTTED Against Charlie for YEARS Another photo Erika Kirk tried to hide just surfaced, and it appears to show that Erika and her ex, Cabot Phillips, may have been colluding together for YEARS to push Charlie out and put Cabot in his place! So Erika already got caught lying about not dating anyone for five years before Charlie. That story fell apart after a bunch of photos and videos surfaced of Erika with different men. But now it turns out she wasn't just seeing multiple guys…she also might have kept seeing Cabot while she was already going on dates with Charlie! Now, both Erika and Cabot tried to delete the proof, but the internet never forgets. People found their old Instagram posts, and it looks like there was some overlap between Erika’s time with Cabot and her time with Charlie. But that's not even …More
This is actually true in spirit, but incomplete and slightly risky if left alone. Catherine was ferocious toward sin and error But not reckless toward authority And not contemptuous toward persons
Our Blessed LORD rebuked the Scribes & Pharisees, referring to them as "sons of the Devil," but never incited disrespect, rebellion or separation from their Divine Office ("Cathedra"-Seats of Authority).
The saints seem pretty consistent in submitting to the discipline of superior regardless of the latter's misunderstanding or motives. They never gave up what they believed is true or moderated their tone, it so seems. Louis Marie DeMontfort did not lose his fire, devotion to the BVM or seeking after the abject souls to save.
You did it again Andrew! I have no one to talk about GOD. Recently I have been saying to Hm. I will talk with you more often Lord. You don't speak to me in words. But you always show me in other ways what I need or want to know. And it's usually always you Andrew that Our Lord answers me. Or shows me what I am doing is right! Sometimes I do believe that he sent you for me. Just like years ago when you answered two of my questions with your posts. I just asked GOD about. I kept one of them. But the other I still can't find from years ago. You are so amazing. GOD Bless you and all your loved ones always. Here is one of them I had saved from years ago. And know this is exactly what I go through. It can be very lonely sometimes when I have no one to talk to GOD about. But I am accepting it more and more. And I pray every night that He will send His Holy ones he is raising up now to mingle with everyone and help them. And that I may meet and talk with just one for just a day, a few hours …More
You know, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially now that we’re approaching Palm Sunday again. Is the Palm Sunday Gospel (The Passion Narrative) still chanted or dramatized in your parish? Because if you’ve been around long enough, you’ll notice something… some places have quietly stopped doing it. Instead of the full, solemn, almost theatrical proclamation of the Passion, it just gets… read. Straight through. No different voices. No chanting. No sense of that dramatic weight. Just another reading, and then we move on. Now look, I get it. I really do. There are practical reasons. Time constraints. Fewer clergy. Maybe not enough trained people to chant. Maybe the parish is trying to keep things “simple” or “accessible.” But here’s the question that keeps bothering me: since when did practicality become the standard for how we worship God? Because if we’re honest, the chanting or dramatized Passion Gospel isn’t just some extra decoration. It’s not like optional …More
An elderly man was walking home in a heavy mood. The doctor had just told him, in a matter-of-fact tone, that the situation was clear and not encouraging. There was nothing to be done. Take some vitamins, maybe. And really, what had he expected? At your age, Mr. Robert Williams? Seventy-five. Robert knew exactly how old he was. And, truthfully, the doctor wasn’t wrong—though he’d been blunt. Seventy-five is a long life. You’ve had your turn. Make room for the next generation. Don’t ask for miracles. Robert wasn’t a wealthy man. His Social Security check was modest, and he still had to pay rent for a small room. His daughter had sold her condo when she urgently needed the money. She promised she’d buy something else—at least a small place. But things hadn’t worked out yet. Expenses piled up. Life abroad was expensive, far more than back home. Back home, you could stretch a dollar and live simply, even on a small retirement income. Robert nearly tripped over a puppy. The little dog …More
Paul Kramer 24 Jan 2026 WHAT THE HYSTERICAL MAGA CROWD AND THEIR FÜHRER WILL ACCOMPLISH -- GLOBAL COMMUNISM Today I was struck with the understanding of why a political grouplet of Americans (the MAGAtard Trump supporters) are rabidly in favour of being stripped of their basic, constitutionally guaranteed civil and religious rights -- and in blind enthusiasm, cheer on the tyrant who robs them of their most cherished birthright as Americans -- their LIBERTY. As with the rabid supporters of Hitler and Stalin, they believe the verse in the Psalms applies to them: "Though a thousand fall at your side, and 10,000 at your right side, you it will not touch." As long as they rabidly support their Leader or Führer, they enjoy the favour of the commanding heights. They don't need rights. They think they have something better -- immunity, impunity. The wrath of the State's punishing arm won't touch them, but will strike only the "others". But when the Supreme Leader's realm and power unravel, he …More
"September 11, 2001: Hundreds survived the Twin Towers because they were running late. A spilled cup of coffee. A traffic jam. A blister from new shoes. These tiny frustrations saved lives." In the days and weeks after September 11th, stories began to emerge. Not just stories of tragedy, but of inexplicable fortune. People who worked in the World Trade Center—who should have been at their desks that morning—weren't there. Because of the smallest, most ordinary delays. An executive who was always early? It was his turn to drop his daughter at daycare. Someone stopped to buy donuts for the office. An alarm clock didn't go off. Traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike was impossibly jammed. A missed bus. A car that wouldn't start. One person spilled coffee and had to go home to change. A father ran back inside to answer the phone. A child moved slower than usual getting ready for school. And yes—someone wore new shoes that gave them a blister, forcing them to stop at a pharmacy for a bandage. …More
