    Ha ha, very good!
    Mrs Dilo, on the other hand, would have been suitably impresed by her husband's frugality.

      Indeed, I have long thought that the firm guiding hand of a masterful husband would be a proper cure for your fancy and unladylike behaviour.

      Hmmm 🤔 clearly finding an appropriate and commanding husband for you, needs to be treated with urgency.

      This is what happens when the fair sex gets access to education beyond their needs.

      One is not averse to a firm and guiding hand... 😊

      I suppose our education should stop in the kitchen ... does Mrs. Clive know this? 🧐

    Cressida's French grandmother said that if you are a good French cook you will never be without a husband.

Order of Service for a 'Modern' Coronation'?

  On May 6, King Charles III will be crowned in Westminster Abbey in an ancient ceremony echoing biblical ideas of kingship and containing rituals that have been used since the first English king more than 1,000 years ago. But Charles will undergo the ceremony in an England unlike any other - different even from that of his mother, 70 years ago … On March 21, 2021, the day of Britain’s decennial census, 1 in 6 residents, about 10 million people, reported they had been born outside the United Kingdom, up from 7.5 million in 2011. India is the most common country of birth of migrants, but significant numbers list Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Jamaica and other former colonies, as well as former European Union partners such as Romania and Poland. The ethnic diversity is matched by changes in the country’s religious makeup. Just 46% said they were Christian on census day — a drop of 11 percentage points in 10 years. Meanwhile, other faiths, including Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Si...

Should Homosexuality be a Crime?

According to  LifeSiteNews , Pope Francis has  issued  "brief, confusing comments on the issue of homosexuality, which seem to firmly contradict the Catholic Church’s teaching through the centuries."  Pope Francis recently said that homosexuality shouldn’t be considered a crime, noting that as many as a dozen countries still enact the death penalty for homosexual acts. “We are all children of God and God loves us as we are and with the strength that each of us fights for our dignity. Being homosexual isn’t a crime. It’s not a crime. Yes, but it’s a sin. OK, but first let us distinguish between sin and crime. Because as well, lack of charity to our neighbour is a sin. And you (each one), how are you doing?” The Holy Father began by citing the Catechism’s call to welcome persons with homosexual tendencies. " The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitut...

Predestination: Between Sovereignty and Love

By

"For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son."  (Romans 8:29) Introduction For centuries, Catholic theology wrestled with two paradoxical truths. First, God genuinely wills all to be saved, yet some are lost, and second, that salvation depends entirely on God's sovereign grace, yet man has free will. Two great schools emerged to try to resolve this. Their debate came to a head in the late sixteenth century when Dominican and Jesuit theologians argued their positions before the Pope. The Dominican position, most rigorously developed by Domingo Báñez, held that God predestines some to salvation and permits others to damnation apart from any foreseen merits or demerits, the divine decree preceding rather than responding to human choices. This preserved the absolute gratuity of grace and God's sovereignty, but made it difficult to say that God genuinely loves those He permits to be lost, or that His salvific will is universal...
