The world is not waiting for different answers but for different questions.
You're clearly assuming that no historical label is legitimate unless it was used by those it described. Does that go for "Renaissance" (19th c.)? "Classical" (18th) How about "Western civilization" (19th)? Almost every term we use for a historical period was invented after the…
Because if the belief of being 'Judeo-Christian' had existed in their minds, they would have created the corresponding term for it (like the Greeks did with Hellenes). Are you saying that the belief existed for over 19 centuries but Christians just forgot to invent a term for it?
Im reminded of the story of the little girl painting a picture. In the top left hand was a figure and the teacher asked who it was. « That’s Harold Witchett » « And who’s that? » « Our father Witchett in heaven, Harold be thy name » It only works if you’ve been an Anglican
And that shock was most keenly expressed in the art which followed. As I recall, this was a central point made by Barzun in "From Dawn to Decadence."
Leo XIV follows Francis in declaring the death penalty "inadmissible" in all circumstances. Murderers, child rapists, & terrorists now join the unborn as objects of pro-life concern. bit.ly/3G7PepI
“Even though the man cried, pulled his legs to his chest and shook his head, officials still tried to move forward.”

I went to a restaurant in Detroit and asked for a Weisenburger. It's two pieces of stale bread roll with all the meat removed.
Does the Archbishop of Detroit understand that if you just fire everyone, you're just going to get mediocre replacements, because people with serious credentials aren't going to go there?
There's no shortage of clericalized feminist nuns aching to air their ideologies.
Mrs. Wrath comes home with a bucket of clams. Live of course. Wrathlings pick their champions. When it is time for cooking them I am strictly warned not to touch "Bluie" (the clams now have names...!). Why not? You want to keep this one as a pet? "I want to eat it myself!"…
Francis, not John Paul II, said that the death penalty was “inadmissible”. In Francis’s use, “inadmissible” does not have the standard legal meaning. @canonlaw
Peter even says he doesn’t know what inadmissible means and “although everyone knows what it means” instead of humbly, piously, and charitably seeking to understand the Popes. He is clearly cynical, perverse, and doesn’t listen to the Popes, the Guardians of Dogma, in good faith.
Better are wounds from a friend than the fraudulent kisses of an enemy (Prov 27:6).
Never use "racist" without scare quotes because the word has no fixed meaning.
You can’t be a racist and be a good Catholic.
