Blessed All Souls' Day!
This week, I would like to draw your attention to "Harms Done by Gay Marriage" by R.R. Reno, Editor of First Things.
"Polarization, critical race theory, transgender ideology—our society has gone crazy," writes Reno. "We're all hungry for sound analysis and solid teaching."
That is exactly what this piece offers. We must seek to understand the truth of these phenomenons because the stakes are high:Only the willfully blind refuse to see the increasingly dysfunctional relations between men and women. Why the male-female dance has broken down over the past generation is not easy to explain. But it does not take a graduate degree in psychology to recognize that children need clear pathways toward adult life as men and women. Nor does it take a degree in sociology to see that those pathways are precisely what we have systematically denied to children, often in the interest of making our society more "inclusive." Blessedly, Reno sees hope. "To the dismay of the custodians of today's liberal establishment, which has bet its own future on the presumption that the tiresome proponents of liberation represent 'the future,' a creative minority is turning to the right."
God bless you all this week! - Meaghen Gonzalez

| Harms Done by Gay Marriage |
| R.R. Reno, First Things |
| Our ruling class seems determined to drive our country into a ditch. H.R. 8404, the Respect for Marriage Act, is a case in point. |

| Catholic Answers |
| Catholic truths are found in the Bible in many ways—not just in logic and history, but also in its "DNA," or the grammar with which it as written. |

| Bad Catholics Are Still Catholics |
| Catholic Answers |
| Public figures gravely compromise their communion with the Church by rejecting key Catholic teachings. But that doesn't mean they cease to be Catholics. |

| When Love Isn't Love |
| Crisis Magazine |
| If there is a telltale of the social justice Catholic, it may lie in one of two assumptions, or both together. The first is that we know what justice is. The second is that, when we say that God is love we know what such love is. |
