St. Teresa of Avila was shocked—not at the homily, but at the laughter it provoked.

This is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. These are normal parents doing normal things, but an extreme try-hard judge and school district stopped them from acknowledging reality.
Normal people just need to keep this up and society will eventually heal.
A federal judge ruled that parents cannot wear pink wristbands with an XX on them to a high school sporting event
In the final stages of a (currently very long) essay on Fr. Vincent McNabb O.P., a dominican friar and Catholic radical of the interwar period, deeply influential on Dorothy Day, Chesterton, Maritain and (I strongly suspect) J.R.R. Tolkien. McNabb’s activism was in part an extension of the Arts and Crafts movement’s political expression,…

The past couple days, this scene just keeps playing in my head on a loop.
There seems to be an endless supply of Will Ropers in Conservative, Inc., these days.
To add to my earlier comment, a much more notable issue: in the raw data file it seems that Indiana was the state with the most deaths (14% of all the deaths!)- this can't be right. And how can Florida have only about half the deaths of Georgia, when FL is twice as large population-wise and has a more elderly-skewing population? Can anyone confirm or deny what I found in the dataset? I absolutely believe the vaccines are causing excess deaths, but have a hard time believing this dataset is accurate.
Steve keeps going on with these posts and I respect his perseverance and mission.
But the normal person just does not have the mental ability to interpret Steves studies and data. As a physician I am aware that covid shots kill far more people than they help. In fact, I am not sure mrna covid shots have helped any patients. And each month we find out how they are killing and hurting people. Steve is very smart and into data and statistical things. My take is if I still had an active medical lice…
"Going forward I think the only way out of this is mass rejection of all vaccines by the general public. "
This is the truth. That's one (of many) reasons we can't get 100% hung up on just the "Covid" vax. They are all destructive as hell and we need as many people, especially parents of young children, saying no to all vaccines. That is the best (and only?) way out.
I want nothing to do with the Covid jabs and my kids certainly won’t be getting them under my roof. There are a fair number of the recommended vaccines that we already opted out of. But I’ve seen tetanus it’s ghastly. I’ve seen diphtheria and I’ve seen diphtheria lungs on necropsy. I’ve known mothers who lost babies to pertussis because they were too young to be vaccinated. I’ve read the cards and notes my grandmother’s schoolmates sent her when it looked like she might die of measles encep…
Three points.
#1: You're going under the false assumption that vaccines work.
#2: Absolutely, if YOU want to get vaccinated, have at it. As many and as often as you want. No problems here. But, so often people screech, scream and demand that everybody else has to do as they do; to protect THEM (or their kids). Makes no sense. Doesn't work that way. Right? No mandated shots for anyone including kids, correct?
#3: 'My local museum has an iron lung on display that was practically worn …
1.) I am not under the false assumption that vaccines work, I know that certain vaccines, especially older vaccines do work. Historically you can absolutely look at population groups and watch vaccines result in either the outright eradication of diseases or see them go from a common occurrence to unheard of. Thanks to illegal immigration and anti-vax parents we can also see those diseases return with increasing numbers of unvaccinated children.
Plus it’s not like people are the only creatur…
BS!!! Stay away from vaccines............ALL OF THEM!!!
"The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccination has been an assault on the immune system. It actually causes a lot of illnesses. We are actually changing our genetic code through vaccination.....100 years from now we will know that the biggest crime against humanity was vaccines."
-Dr Guylaine Lanctor author of "The Medical Mafia"
"Much of what you have been led to believe about immunization simply isn't true. If I were to follow my deeper c…
You can believe and do what you want, I just want people to be able to make decisions for themselves. We have no history of any of the things you describe in my family despite multiple generations being “fully” vaccinated. What we do have a history of is measles meningitis, we live a lifestyle where we are constantly at risk of tetanus exposure, and I see no reason to let one of my children join those of my ancestors in an early grave due to pertussis or diphtheria. If my choice is between m…
As a 13 year Cancer survivor, I'm alive today because of Jesus Christ and avoiding doctors like the plague. Tell me Doc, when you prescribe a drug for a disease/symptom that causes side effects (and all drugs do) is that ethical? In the eyes of a doctor, yes, because that is what you have been trained to do. Because Medical schools teach nothing about nutrition/health doctors know NOTHING about healing people. They know how to recognize a symptom, treat the symptom (with drugs, vaccines, surger…

I am not a human medical doctor so most of what you have written has nothing to do with me. I have never claimed that modern medicine is the be all end all or that every doctor is good. I am horrified by oncology and pretty much all handling of chronic diseases particularly chronic pain. I agree that a great many diseases and conditions would be better treated through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. However a good many people are unwilling to make such changes, I think it’s nice that people with Type 2 diabetes too lazy to eat healthy and exercise can live longer by taking insulin. I wish more would choose better diet and exercise but those people are entitled to make their own decisions.
However a ten day water fast isn’t going to cure rabies or tetanus. It certainly wasn’t going to cure my multi-system organ failure brought on by pregnancy complications. The simple fact of the matter is at any other time in history or in any place in the world without modern medical care my son and I both would have died.
Yes God can heal whoever He chooses but the Bible also tells us not to tempt the Lord our God. I do not think it’s coincidence that Luke was a physician as was St Valentine. Generally people of faith don’t do foolish things like close their eyes and walk across a busy interstate in an attempt to prove God’s sovereignty, completely avoiding modern medicine is no different, something you seem to agree with since you admit that you would seek help in an emergency.
You seem determined to make a bunch of generalizations and jump to conclusions, thinking that you want to avoid watching your child die an excruciating death via tetanus is quite different than thinking there aren’t any problems whatsoever with modern medicine.
What concerns me is that happens far too often with people being labeled as either anti-vax or followers of the vaccine cult. There definitely should be more discussion about the role of diet, exercise and lifestyle in disease especially chronic disease. There’s certainly important discussions to be had surrounding vaccines, their appropriate and inappropriate uses. However the Puritans lived faith filled lives free of modern medicine and processed foods where exercise was a necessity for survival let alone fitness and they still died of things like smallpox and measles and tetanus. If clean living and faith in God protected you from disease the history of the Puritans, Society of Friends, and many other Christian sects throughout history would be very different.
