Valentines Day has become a day when merchants order people to give candy, cards and flowers to people they lust after. It is celebrated in our schools, and even children in pre-schools are encouraged to exchange valentines. But the real Valentines Day is not about cards, candy, flowers, and our romantic love for each other, but about Gods love and the martydom of a Catholic saint.
Why dont most people know this? Because weve been leaving the saint out of Saint Valentines Day.
Secularists and merchants who make money off Saint Valentines Day want you to believe this day has nothing to do with Christianity. The same people who want us to wish each other Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas want us to buy Valentines Day cards and gifts, and not Saint Valentines Day cards and gifts.
Secularists and commercial exploiters have succeeded into turning Saint Valentines Day into a holiday where Saint Valentine and Jesus Christ are never mentioned. Instead this is a day when we celebrate lust and even encourage children to take part. But we live in a Christian culture and there is more than one Christian holiday on our calendar. Just as all Christians demand that we remember that Jesus Christ is the reason we celebrate Christmas, Catholics demand that we remember that February 14 is Saint Valentines Day.
What can you do? Dont buy cards that leave off the Saint. Dont buy Valentines chocolates that leave off the Saint. And dont shop at stores that leave off the Saint.

The Pope John Paul generation is doing quite well, I'd say
Doesn't mean one ought abandon hope or stop trying to reach souls: does it?
What is wrong with that?
Because the feminist redefinition of "violence against women" is so dishonestly broad, that it includes all normal heterosexual relationships. For example, one skeptical researcher who questioned the "one in 3 women is raped" mantra, looked carefully at the questionnaire and learned that a large percentage of the sexual encounters that the "researchers" described as "rapes", were NOT classified as "rapes" by the supposed victims!!!
Quite simply, all this is nothing more than an anti-male agenda that uses the crimes of a small percentage of men as an excuse to hate every single one of us..
