    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.

Questions That Don't Have Easy Answers: Reflections of a Pilgrim

By

Introduction An old man's thoughts on why members of the Church need more wisdom and less certainty. As I near the end of my earthly pilgrimage, I find myself thinking more about questions than answers. This surprises me. I expected that after decades of faith, prayer, and study, things would be clearer. Instead, they've become more complex. Perhaps that's exactly as it should be. The Question That Started It All Months ago, I found myself wondering about something that seemed simple at first: Should faithful Catholics engage with our increasingly secular culture, or should we withdraw into our own communities to preserve authentic faith?

War, Moral Principles, and Contemporary Conflicts

  Introduction War presents profound moral challenges, forcing a confrontation with the limits of human reason and conscience. The Catholic Church offers a moral framework rooted in the intrinsic dignity of every human person and the immutable moral law, even in the chaos of conflict. This essay applies these enduring principles to two contentious military episodes of the modern era: the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, and Israel’s military campaign in Gaza following Hamas’s attack in October 2023.

Catholic Teaching on Moral Acts and War Catholic moral theology teaches that the morality of any human act depends on three essential co...
