Outside The Asylum

Today, June 24, 2022 we saw the new Supreme Court come into its own, finally opposing the lies of the sexual revolution.  I offer once again this poem, followed by several links that women facing crisis pregnancies need. I am Unfit My mother is a teenager, just starting out in Life I am the Unfit I am the Child of Poor Parents I am the Unfit I have a genetic disease I am the Unfit My mother was bit by a mosquito and I am in danger of microcephaly I am the Unfit I have a terminal illness I am the Unfit I signed up with the Military to feed my family I am the Unfit I am accused of treason I am the Unfit I am accused of murder I am the Unfit My parents were of two different races I am the Unfit I am the wrong race I am the Unfit My father raped my mother and I was conceived I am the Unfit I am the genius scientist that is face blind I am the Unfit I have a genetic defect I am the Unfit My parents abuse children I am the Unfit I will spend more over my lifetime than I will earn I am th...

  Just finished the OBVC left wing progressive push survey- and for once it gave me a great idea based on what it didn't include. Much of it was focused on Title IX an the left-wing looney idea that sexual orientation and gender-fluidity is as important as biological sex (hint, I'm of the opinion that it isn't, TL;DR is that I'm against this concept). Now having said that, here's a strange concept. As a society, we deal with the individuality (and extreme individuality) of neurodiversity through a variety of evolving concepts in education where each autistic is treated as an INDIVIDUAL, instead of an IDENTITY GROUP.  To that end- neurodiverse students get Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Special Olympics provides co-ed athletic opportunities.  This counts for more than just autism:  A large number of individual difference kids are in these co-ed teams- it's easy to see people of every ability out on the field, nobody keeps score and nobody cares. Is there ...

Have an elderly relative say you should be a chef instead of a programmer  and respond with: Carmelita Grace Seeber I would never have the discipline for cleanliness.  I can do a weekend here or there, and in  close knot family we all share germs anyway, but I have a feeling running a restaurant, I would poison somebody! Besides, only about 8 out of 10 of my gourmet experiments come put edible.

 The problem I've seen with this entire process of Synodalism, is that it is controlled by the old who are fighting the better spirits of the young.  In this, it's become very much SynOLDalism.  And thus, I offer this poem. With Apologies to St. John Vianny: Synoldalism: If the pope is a saint, the cardinals will be fervent; If the cardinal is fervent, the bishops will be pious; If the bishop is pious, the priests will at least be decent; If the priest is only decent, the people will be godless. The spiritual generation is always one-degree less intense in its life than the one who begets it in Christ.  Is it any wonder that in the United States, where we have seen a corruption of the clergy up to the very top of the chain, we have a problem with a belief in Transubstantiation? The original of this poem is the answer.  Please, God, Send us Saintly Priests!  Reignite the fervor of your people and the thirst for the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus ...

 I started all this out with agreeing with my Archbishop Sample that we live in a post-Christian society, in a post-Christian world- and that as far as the American Empire is concerned, our government is almost as bad as that which the Apostles faced during the fall of the Roman Republic. Almost as bad- I fear strongly it is about to get a LOT worse.  At work, I see much anti-Catholic and anti-Christian bigotry creeping in to corporate America.  It's pretty easy to see that the result of the battles over abortion, euthanasia, and gay marriage have left conservative Christians who are serious about social justice without a political home- and at times, without an economic home either as anti-Catholic marriage bigotry enforced by the courts has been used to close small businesses and throw people into poverty. Even within the church, the Vatican has chosen to marginalize conservative American Catholics to the point that some of us wonder if heterosexual lifelong monogamy in...

Once again, I should have called this series Trantor Earth. Here is an advert that promises to keep a family in vegetables in a mere 500 sq feet (50x10) on 5 gallons of water a day and a 240 volt split phase power supply.

 I'm starting out by reformulating the question in a way that indicates I've been listening to my Archbishop: Synod Question #3:  How to be Catholic in a Post Christian, Apostolic Oregon We need to recognize that we live in a post-Catholic- even post-Christian- world.  We can't assume even our children are absorbing Catholic Morality, let alone anybody else; in fact the indications in the world around us, from the lack of forgiveness central to "woke" theologies like CRT, to our involvement in wars around the world, to our abuse of wealth to bully smaller cultures, to the grand hidden genocide of abortion and euthanasia; the economy of Oregon is built upon a culture of death that is completely opposed to the Gospel and all it stands for. That's our starting point.  Our starting point is we live in an entirely hedonistic culture that is aware of Christ but no longer cares- or worse yet, sees our traditions as a threat to be eliminated.  We're almost back to...
