🧵100% Even most Catholics have no clue how fanatically devoted Joan of Arc was to God. She attended confession dozens of times a day. She wept in agony over the corpses of the English who hadn’t died in grace. She left her home without a word to anyone to follow God’s will. She
Saint Jeanne d'Arc would have called you a whore

Uncle Rick would always invite me to any game he had tickets to when I was a broke law student in Chicago. Usually I had an hour to decide between a game with him or to keep studying. I almost always chose him. And I am forever grateful I did. Rest in Peace.
If I could ask for your prayers. My uncle went into cardiac arrest. The report I got was “he was gone a long time”. So he’s on a vent but they’re scanning for brain activity. It does not look good.
His name is Rick. Big Italian man. Incredible cook and a wonderful person.

Use code PCR10 for 10% off. Also they dropped some new bangers in the Crusader and Irish categories. No Zionist Trump ones yet. Will keep you posted @BigModernism

Friends, what is chastity—the second of the evangelical counsels?
Though the clergy and religious practice chastity through celibacy, the virtue itself is just as applicable to the laity.
Chastity simply means sexual uprightness or a rightly ordered sexuality—and this means bringing one’s sexual life under the aegis of love.
As Thomas Aquinas taught, love is not a feeling but rather an act of the will—more precisely, willing the good of the other. It is the ecstatic act by which we break free from the ego, whose gravitational pull wants to draw everything to itself.
Notice how the Church’s teaching that sex belongs within the context of marriage is meant to hold off this negative tendency. In saying that our sexuality should be subordinated to unity (the radical devotion to one’s spouse) and procreation (the radical devotion to one’s children), the Church is endeavoring to bring our sex lives completely under the umbrella of love.
What would our country look like if, starting today, every Catholic lived out the counsel of chastity? We would make an enormous dent in the pornography business; human trafficking would be dramatically reduced; abortions would appreciably decrease; and families would be significantly strengthened.
