The Washington Post has turned into some kind of weird leftist tabloid.

I don’t understand why she feels reproached by virginity. It’s not her fault she was raped, but it appears she has never stopped torturing herself over it, somehow.

But terror and pain, and helpless humiliation, leave scars that resist healing. I will not ridicule her because I can see she is suffering inwardly, and has been for a long, long time.

I just pray that she will accept that she is innocent in this matter of sexual violation, and that God has restored her, is restoring her, and will restore her to radiant wholeness, body and soul, because God glories in the well-being of His children.

And His compassion is drawn to the broken-hearted.

For 2,000 years, the vast majorty of Christians have believed that Mary was "Ever-Virgin".

This business of her being overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and giving birth to the Lord of the Universe and then having relations with Joseph is a quite modern innovation.

To me, it';s a little strange: as if God (God forgive me) would say to Joseph, "Here, I had her first and I got what I wanted, now you can have her. Mazel tov."

As if Mary were just some sort of temporary reproductive concubine as far as God was concerned.

But historic Christianity never saw Mary as anything other than the Mother of the Incarnation and thus the ultimate embodiment of the Covenant. And covenant means forever. Forever, this all-honorable union of the Spirit and the Bride.

You guys are missing half the fun.

You just KNOW that a Special Snowflake like this one has a Twitter page over in "Twitter SafeSpacia & Leftie Rage Roomville", the Great Big Giant Progressive Echo Chamber:

Aaaannnnd, sure enough - if you go back to her November 8 and following Tweets, there is DELICIOUS pearl-clutching galore over the ascendancy of President Trump, and the triumph of the mouth-breathing Deplorables.

It's almost as if Ruth was violated once again...

Gads! I read through her timeline.

She's a Hillary mini-me.

No...we need a bigger barf bag. This skank is insulting the Blessed Mother.

It almost sounds like she blames the Blessed Mother for her being raped.

I wonder if she really was or just wanted to do a hit piece on Mary.
