So, throwing oneself on a grenade to save the rest of the group is nothing, because it was done before men?
And giving up a Saturday evening out, to go to a nursing home and play music for the folks is doing works of righteousness publicly, but it's of no use because people see it, right?
And volunteering in a soup kitchen, peeling vegetables, washing tables and dishes, cooking and cleaning up after is invalid, because it's done publicly?
And the fact that St. Maximillian Kolbe gave up his life to save a Jewish man in a concentration camp is worthless, because all the prisoners and guards saw it, and the man he saved told others about his sacrifice, that was worthless, too?
How about blatant public hypocrisy, and pious remonstrance? What kind of reward is given for that? The congratulations of all the rest of the protties?
I get it now.
Doing one’s anonymous, comfy-chair, coffee-sipping muffin munching blogging on an anonymous internet bulletin board to anonymous posters is missionary work and PERSECUTION if not acknowledged, because in the words of the this group of Prottys, their work is not seen by men.
Oh, brother. This gets worse and worse.
