[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief, OP.

His address is hardly unhinged.  He is speaking to graduates of a Catholic College as a Catholic himself. 
I understand  you don't agree with his beliefs... and there are some things he said that I don't fully agree with, but he is speaking based on his religious beliefs.  And, he didn't call the people who use IDF and contraception "disordered."
He said that these things along with abortion, euthanasia, gender ideology stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.  
Big difference.

I doubt you listened to his entire address because had you listened - you would hear that he has some hard words for his religion and some of the leaders of the Catholic Church.  [/quote]

DP it’s pretty unhinged when you tell a group of accomplished young women who have just finished their degrees that never mind all that your only real accomplishment in life is being a wife and mother and homemaker. Yuck. [/quote]

DP.  That's not what I got from it.  He was saying that the *most important accomplishment* for both women AND men is their children and families.  I would agree with that, and I'm neither Catholic nor a "trad wife," whatever that is.[/quote]

Dp- yeah not to the men. Just the ladies. Men have important things to do.

Actually, this is what he said about men.  Can't say I disagree with him.

"As I mentioned earlier, I have leaned into my vocation as a husband and father and as a man.

To the gentleman here today, part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture. And when that is absent disorder, dysfunction and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation. Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the US. And a correlation can be made in their drastically lower violence rates as well."[/quote]
