All in the Family featured the curmudgeonly Archie Bunker. Archie was television’s most famous grouch, blunt, blustering, straightforward and untouched by the PC crowd. He was the archetype of the conservative male. Michael desprately tried to reeducate him, but he persisted in his breviloquence.



Looking back at the last 40 years, we realize: ARCHIE WAS RIGHT!

Is The Pope Catholic?

Catholic school removes Jesus statues to be 'more inclusive'
167-year-old California institution fears 'alienating' students

The article explains why the school removed various statues, changed the school colors and uniforms.  They were afraid that kids from "some other religion" might not  feel as included in the school environment.  The school was afraid that they were creating a feeling that "it could be alienating" for some students.  The author of the article forgot to say what "other religion" might have a case of the feel bads over being in a school with statues of Mary and Jesus and whomever else.

If Catholics stop engaging in practices that are traditionally Catholic, like the sacraments mentioned in the article, are they still Catholic?  They are not.  They may be something else.  The thing they are not is Catholic.

Parents send their kids to private schools for a variety of reasons.  It's not uncommon for parents who do not share the religious beliefs of a particular denomination to send their kids to a school simply for academics.  The Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and probably Protestants  (you can always ignore the WASPs and get away with it) who sent their kids to catholic school knew darn well that it was catholic school and they were more than willing to accept that fact when they wrote the check and sent the kid.  YES!  That's even true for the Muslims who decide to send their kids to catholic school.

"Inclusivity" is a modern SJW buzz word that means something akin to "lets water down anything that might look like real faith, or achievement or excellence into something nearly meaningless".   San Domenico has started that short slide from being an association for people of faith united in their pursuit of educating their children to a higher standard, to being an expensive public school with zero respect for their historic faith.

  2. Weakness everywhere against Islam. They love kindness and weakness just like in Medina 1300 years ago.
