As Christ would say:
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
BRILLIANT, spot on, and nominated for Post of the Day.
Also, what if the original "feminists," when shrieking over "double standards" had, instead of lowering behavior expectations for women, had instead insisted on the raising of behavior standards for men? How different would the world look today?
Oh wait, that would not have accomplished the actual goal of the left, which is unbridled hedonism. Never mind....
In my graduate studies I learned that raising the level of education for women also lowers the birth rate. Aborting or seizing children is an inhumane endgame; instead, women need more of those types of microeconomic programs that empower them to start small businesses, educate their children, and contribute more to the family than only being a brood mare.
I certainly agree with your last point; however, Christianity has been under increased attack for a century, with missionaries forbidden to bring sanitation, farming, etc because they also want to teach gospel. We would have to talk about individual nations that are poor and Christian -- perhaps you are talking about South America, where Marxists have infected the Catholic Church with "liberation theology" (communism) and caused something other than Christianity to be taught.
Take a dirt nap, Mr. Holdren. For the good of the planet.
being a climate specialist is meaningless.
EVERYONE should just declare themselves to be a climate specialist and environmentalist.
(know how to work an a/c? presto you are a climate specialist. Take out the garbage? presto you are an environmentalist.)
Drop the word "Catholic" and your description of this particular influence of evil in "South America" would also fit the south side of Chicago.

There it is! Freedom cannot exist in densely populated countries, I am convinced of that. True freedom is only for those who are capable of living where there are few people.
Have you ever taken a drive through the USA west of the Missippi and east of the West Coast?? This country is practically half EMPTY.”
Lots of the food YOU eat comes from that area you think is empty!!!!
Hard to see from 35,000 feet in an airplane while you are watching the coast to coast movie!!

And I'm damn thankful for it too. And I mostly drive through most of that territory.
