[Salvation]

Reminds me of the son who said "Yes" and didn't do what his father asked, and the son who said "No" and then went ahead and did as the father requested.

“Obstinacy” is what so many show regarding Christian sexual morality. I’ve been on so many threads in which the traditional Christian teaching was presented logically, clearly, even poetically ... only to be dismissed with, “Okay, but personally ...”.

What’s the word for when people’s hearts are in the right place, but they’re resistant to the evidence of experience? For example, the fact that higher minimum wages and unionization result in fewer jobs for those who most need them, or “You get more of what you subsidize,” such as unmarried motherhood. Whatever the word is, the problem seems to afflict a lot of the Catholic hierarchy in the United States!
