    This reminds me of that old quote of which there are many variations and no single person is known to be the originator:

    If you aren’t a liberal when you’re young, you have no heart, but if you aren’t a conservative by middle-age, you have no brain.

    It's usually those who don't bother really looking over their pay stub who make it to middle age before decrying the incredible burden of over taxation and government over reach IMO.

    there were 800,000 people in DC at the rally against guns
    It is scary that our Pope is stirring them up
    A mob like that ?

    Well, the MSM certainly loves to use him to further their agenda. However, unless we read his homily we can not know with certainty what he said and in what context because we can not trust the MSM. Period.

    Thanks !
    We need to follow it through
    But he said “Young people you have it in you to shout”
    But I know that the mob mentality is being cultivated by the evil forces
    One day, God forbid, it will overflow
    When I was in my senior year in college
    (Kent State shootings) we had a class boycott even though we were not in Ohio
    I did not boycott because I was weeks away from graduating and I was afraid to miss class
    I was taking what I know now to be a Communist class
    Collective Behavior
    We were using the work of the late Herbert Marcuse
    We were taught that the first stage of rioting was “milling”
    There is plenty of milling going on these days
    Scary

  8. Didn't know quite where to stick this. I realize that the brilliant contributors to this forum must already be aware of this person, Dr. Jordan Peterson, but I personally only came more recently to meet him. Trying to find something for those who may not know him as yet that wouldn't be in lecture form and perhaps lose the interest without more of an introduction I happened to find this very good interview. I have to say that I think that the interviewer, Patrick Coffin, is even a step ahead of the good, inquisitive, doctor, having, it seems, already found what Dr. Peterson is searching for within all of his intellectually and personally honest probes.

    Anyway, even if you have heard of Dr. Peterson but may perhaps not have listened to this particular interview of him I think you might find it fascinating for the areas it covers even in it short time given. If you wish to chop off the introductory portion and get to the more pithy discussion you could begin at the 21 minute point. Enjoy!

    I have recently discovered Jordan Peterson—through Padraig actually—and he is a bracing breath of fresh air. I enjoy listening to him presenting the common sense point of view. He confounds his opponents! Quite wonderful.

    Fortunately there were not that many there. Compare aerial photos of this event with those of the much bigger annual March for Life when the media claims “a couple thousand” were in attendance and you’ll quickly realize these numbers canNOT be trusted.

    YUP!!! I'd like to think that Pope Francis has been getting a lot of ill advice from LeftyLavender Vatican Staff Weenies ... but after FIVE YEARS I'm thinking ..... :(
    PF seems to think that all the "Youths" marching in the Disarm America and shred The Bill of Rights Marches was a grand idea/event. These "Protests" were nothing but a Democrat Party Rent-a-Mob Op and Liberal Voter Drive. Yeah!! Vote for the Party of gun (Citizen) control and THE PARTY OF ABORTION, PERVERSION, ALIEN INVASION and godless SOCIALISM. Of course the Democrats and Global LeftStream Media think the Pope is a Great Guy (Today) and will use his Pic and quotes to further their above AGENDAS ... HullyGee!! What could possibly go wrong!!?? :mad:

    Boy Don, we thought we were being tongue in cheek yesterday, but apparently there was a sizable youth request for access to the Traditional Latin Mass at the youth pre-synod and it was virtually ignored.

    Those who wish to make a mockery of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be swept away.
    In His good time God will set the Church right.

    Little do the Modernists know that the future of the Mass is this:

    PRAISE GOD! Oh thank you LORD for these courageous seekers of Truth!!!! The Church Militant will not be silenced. The Truth is self evident and can not be denied, only hidden. This absolutely made my day Praetorian thank you so very much.

    That lower picture is the very same as acting the clown at the foot of the Cross on Calvary. Just like those in the Gospels who mocked Our Lord.

    That is not just some random priest, that is Archbishop Giancarlo Maria Bregantini of the Archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano.

    Just imagine!

    You are welcome Don!

    The return to Tradition is strong and growing among the young. What young person (or any person) would want to be a part of a faith that believes in nothing?

    Here is another article:

    https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2018/03/what-young-catholics-want

    The beginning of it is very sad:

    Several French dioceses, seeking to promote their 2018 fundraising drive, had a few young Catholics take a selfie with a young priest. It was the perfect marketing image of diverse, democratic youth—but for one problem. The priest wore a cassock. This long black garment, with its thirty-three buttons, is favored by young priests who have made it the uniform of resurgent tradition. It is the symbol of what young Catholics are, and of what older Catholics don’t want them to be.

    Three of the dioceses issued a doctored photo in which the priest appears to be wearing blue jeans. His cassock buttons, representing the years of Christ’s life, were airbrushed away. With a little manipulation, the authorities produced an image of youth acceptable to the old.
