[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

The bishops brought this upon us. Decades of coddling openly-heretical, defiant, dissenting Dammocrap (and, in recent years, some Republican) politicians. Buying into cultural and economic Marxism. Execrable catechesis of the laity for decades and decades.

True.

What then must WE do?

1) Be active in your parish.

2) Get your kids out of the godless communist schoolags, and teach them yourself at home. God made PARENTS a child's primary educators, not the State. We will have to answer to Him for our stewardship.

Dear St_Thomas_Aquinas,

1 - Been there, done that, didn't even get a t-shirt. What we do from the bottom up has little effect on the effete, stalinist, incompetent hierarchy.

2 - Homeschooled my sons through 8th grade, sent ‘em to a decent Catholic high school with an actual Catholic identity. They have learned/are learning to be warriors for God. I've sent the older one out into the world, to college, as prepared as I could make him to fight the good fight. We speak often, explicitly, about the battle in which he is now engaged. Fortunately, where he is, there are other awake, knowledgeable Catholics who also know we're in a fight.

I'll add a third:

3 - Eliminate all monetary support for the formal church. Focus on giving your money to decent Catholic educational institutions NOT under the control of the bishop, and pro-life organizations, especially those that specifically and directly aid women in crisis pregnancy.
