Let’s also not forget the fact that women have more support when in abusive relationships and have more resources to get them out of those relationships. That’s an important factor as well.

Here’s another thing I just remembered. When I was in high school, they had just started the practice of allowing pregnant girls to stay in school with the rest of the kids. That would be in the '70s. Not too long before that, pregnant girls were sent away to another school, which was a source of shame that discouraged other girls from following in their footsteps.

I remember looking in amazement at a girl in one of my classes, watching her belly grow bigger with each passing week. I had never seen anything like that. But the fact that she remained with us gave her condition a sort of legitimacy, like it was not a big deal to be pregnant and not only unwed, but still a minor in school. In fact, the other girls seemed to be excited for her, setting the stage for normalization and more unwed mothers in the future.

Did the boy who got her pregnant stay in school too?
 
We all are mislead in many ways.

The parables show that.

I person who drinks too much alcohol needs help. We all know that he misses the mark (evil or sin).

In the Kingdom of God, marriage is clearly explained.

In the Kingdoms of Egypt, Babylon, or America marriage is said to be something different.

I believe in the Kingdom of God’s marriage.

It is a matter of belief. I am a Catholic Christian. Only accidentally am I an American.

I cannot prove our faith, but believe it.

If Americans decide to be Americans first, they most certainly may.

I, as a Catholic Christian, love and pray for all.

Furthermore, the Gospel is the power of God to save us, place us back on the mark or way.

If I am living a good life, then it is His power.

Logically, Christian marriage is much better than prostitution, abortion, and adultery.

There is more logic in Christian Love than mere rational thought.

Sorry I wrote too much.

News Flash Obesity coupled with heart disease is causing the health care crisis. Obese children are diagnosed with heart disease by the time they reach their teens. There are 4 gay couples in my neighborhood and I have shook hands with all and attended a neighborhood bbq…and lo and behold…I’m still here. And News Flash 2…women make 87% of what a man makes doing the same job in the private sector. I work in the public sector and men in the same grade and career series make exactly what I make.

I worked in the public sector too. With a few exceptions, women did half the work for the same pay. I guess that’s fair too.

Bradski :D. I think my White Westinghouse fridge needs cleaning. Oh and did you see the brand new iron my hubby bought for me for my birthday? I can’t wait to try it out. I’ve got a pot roast in the oven…martini’s at the ready…I hope he’s not working late tonight. His secretary Tiffany called…she is such a dear…she always let’s me know ahead of time if he is going to be late. What would my hubby do without her? DING DING! Uh oh…it’seems noon here in Stepford and it’s time to take “mothers little helper”… :rolleyes:
 
I think it all started with he removal of the bible and prayer from the schools in the 60s.

Maybe we should get them back in eh.
 
It is the Gospel (Power of God to save) that enables us to live the beauty of chastity.

It is the Gospel that enables us to share God’s beauty, love and happiness.

Which prayer. In public school? In the 60’s we had a "moment of silence " in Massachusetts. When I moved to the south in the mid 70’s…what Catholics call the “Our Father”…was read over the PA every morning…and all the kids stared at me when I suddenly stopped in the middle of it and didn’t say…“for thine is the kingdom and power and glory” part. A verse was also read from the Kings James Bible so I never heard anything from Micah or Wisdom. Why is that I wonder? I am sure the few Jewish students were confused as well. Because you had to say the Our Father out loud. So which Bible should be brought back in to public schools and which prayer should be said?

I love pot roast! Can I exchange that martini for a whiskey sour? 😛

Bradski thinks in cliches. People of his kind don’t even know what he’s really talking about. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ever pulled the “coat hanger abortion” card.

Bradski, were you even alive in the 1950s? If so, in the US? Because all of these “1950s” talk, I feel, is just that - talk. It’s a convenient card to pull because that’s what modernists use, so it must be true.

“1905s! 1950s! Cleaver! Cleaver!”
 
Heritage Foundation on the ruling - youtube.com/watch?v=SsrzO-TxOwM&feature=youtu.be

Pretty good talk; I suggest to watch the entire thing. The people below that commented aren’t open to debate because they are incapable of doing so - it’s just based on emotion and painting the other side as a fringe group. And these are the same people who, before the ruling, had an animosity towards society in general saying that society is just a bunch of sheep. Well, that’s ironic, now they love society but they forgot that what happened on the 26th was by fiat. It wasn’t left to the American people.

Most earliest comments on it -

THANKS!

Also, I was totally amazed when I took Romans and used it for understanding St. Mark’s Gospel.

One assumption, the vast majority of Christians in history could not read. Even today, the vast majority cannot do scholarly work. Therefore the Gospels must be simple.

I took St. Paul’s definition of the Gospel as the power of God to save. The Power of God to save is exemplified in the countless miracles, commands, and parables. Then we can see that God’s power pours His love, beauty and happiness into our souls. This empowers us to keep the commandments of love God, self and neighbor. It is Gospel and commandments.

God’s power will “make” me love my wife, children, neighbors (all people).

People of my kind…? Ah, I guess you must mean ‘People who make light hearted remarks over what appears to be misogynist statements that would be more appropriate for the first half of the last century’. Now if you’ll excuse me, Julianna has a martini waiting for me (stirred, not shaken, I hope, Jools).

And while I’m here, any luck with finding anyone at all who has registered onto CA to gloat over recent votes? Although I’m not sure why I’m asking as I already know you haven’t found any. In fact, I know you haven’t looked. Just wondering if you’d like to admit it.
 
The Gospel is the power of God to save us.

I believe He will make us loving, wise, just, chaste and so forth.

Concerning the 1950s-2000s, the issues are complex. But all sides failed and did good.

It is not who is good or bad, conservatives or liberal.

We can only be good with the Gospel, whether the person is aware of it or not.

It is God’s power that makes us good.

If one desires a good family and et cetera, God’s power makes it possible.
 
The Power of God (Gospel) makes life sweet and beautiful, we believe.

Example: we believe, a child conceived in God’s power and brought home is truly a sweet blessing. A child conceived and surgically aborted is really bitter.

We are given the power of God to live in a land of milk and honey.

We are in the Kingdom of God; we are American, Canadian or Egyptian incidentally or accidentally. We are all children of God–ALL!

It’s also a great formula for the destruction of civilization.

Problem is too many folks think that progressivism is automatic.

It isn’t, and it won’t last, one way or another.

Isn’t it interesting how history worldwide repeats itself. Every era
has it’s “strongest geopolitical entities” that rise to take leadership…today, globally. They all seem to start from simplistic aspirations. The best establish truly wonderful overall systems of culture, government and even religion. Then, over time, the following generations forget what it was to fight so hard for the freedoms, turn from the God inspired morals and ethics. Then that entity declines, en masse, over decades if not centuries. It reaches a point of no return where it is so morally devoid that it allows other entities to rise, strengthen, take over.

We watch it happen again in Western World, and especially US. This time, with current modern technology, the speed of decline will accelerate.

God help us.😦
 
The speed of decline is dependent on each of us. The coordinated attack against the Church and family was initiated within 24 hours of the publication of Humani Vitae by Pope Paul VI in 1968.
