Breaking from Seductive Sentimentality	"There is no such thing as “transgender.” It is an engineered term designed to disguise the reality of psychological and sometimes physical mutilation.

Despite our best efforts, we have become irrelevant. Let’s try something new – and old. Let’s try the truth of the Gospel: • Men, be faithful to your wives in marriage. Be kind and considerate.

They need you as a father. Expect their respect. Discipline them in charity and justice....	Pokorsky, Catholic Thing, Traditional Catholicism
Restoring Confidence in the Catholic Faith	If priests cannot be chaste in celibacy, how can we expect our young men to grow in chastity as they prepare for marriage? For example, when priests live their celibacy with confidence, they provide an example to young men who are required to be chaste in their own celibate state before they marry. Clerical violations of celibacy not only encourage secular commentators like Rush Limbaugh to question its value for priests, they undermine the resolve of men struggling to overcome addictions to pornography. In my parish, I have been methodical in my strategy in dealing with the doctrinal ambiguities of the Vatican. The pope’s picture hangs in the church vestibule to remind the faithful to pray for him.
