Utterly disastrous. It’s hard to see how the Vatican could have chosen a worse Pope. All those young men looking for more traditional, hierarchical, and masculine forms of leadership are about to start looking elsewhere to fill the void within them.

"Can we all talk about Fr. Mike Schmitz? 🤭" No. Can we all talk about why in Catholic culture it's seen as acceptable to sexualize priests?
Men don’t need sex. Our culture is so hypersexualized that the idea of a celibate priest leaves people in disbelief—as if it’s impossible. That’s heartbreaking. Have we really forgotten that self-control and virtue are within reach? Look at Jesus Christ. The most perfect man to ever walk the earth was celibate and sinless before He was crucified for our sins. Shouldn’t He be the supreme model for manhood? Self-mastery. Discipline. Total self-gift—all out of love. Priests choose celibacy so their hearts can belong entirely to God. As St. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7:32-35: “I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided... I say this for your own benefit... to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.” Abstinence isn’t just for priests—intermittent abstinence can also be a beautiful practice within marriage if a couple has a serious reason to delay bringing a baby into the world. When practicing Natural Family Planning (NFP), spouses can grow in self-mastery, deepen their love, and remain faithful to God’s design for marriage. Christ is the model. Love is the reason. Holiness is the goal. Watch E238 of The Lila Rose Show: piped.video/hkhX9sP9Rxk

IVF won't solve the birth crisis. It will simply increase the culture of seeing children as a commodity. The number of children who come from IVF pales in comparison to those it kills and the culture shift it causes.

Birth rate collapse is a serious concern for the West. "The White House will issue guidance on what it is calling an employer benefit option to encourage employers to offer I.V.F. and broader infertility coverage directly to workers, in the same way they would with vision or dental coverage, one White House official familiar with the matter said," per NYT This was a campaign promise! 🇺🇸
