O, no. That's not pretty good. Rachel Fulton Brown and the F word.

When she sees or hears something that is wrong or dangerous, Sweet Pea, the granddaughter of ABS, will say - O, no. That's not pretty good -and her observation was remembered today when ABS was doing some investigating into the background of a woman gaining notoriety:
Mary and The Art of Prayer is a book by Rachel Fulton Brown who is suddenly becoming well known owing to her Books, Blogs, and new video series (just beginning) on Medieval History that is being promoted by Theodore Beale:

 ABS clicked on a few internal links at her Blog and discovered this writing gem:
This, to my mind, as both Fencing Bear and Professor of History, is the real scandal afflicting our university and college campuses today. Not that the students are feeling triggered by the feelings that they experience when confronting ideas or assignments that they do not know how to address, but that we, their teachers, have failed to give them proper challenges because we (and, no, I don't really include myself in this group, but as a teacher, I know I always have room to improve) have become so obsessed with making sure that they never feel bad. Well, to coin a phrase: "Fuck our feelings!" Fuck our discomfort when we ask them a question and they don't know the answer. Fuck our anxieties about whether we are implicitly biased (of course we are, Mrs. Clinton is hardly the first to make this observation--as the Avenue Q puppets put it, "Everyone's a little bit racist!") when we respond to them. Fuck our feelings when we grade their assignments and feel sorry for them because, in all honesty, we cannot give them an A, no matter how hard we know they tried. Fuck our feelings--because, if we don't, we are lying to them, and that is far worse than making them feel a little bad. Why? Because, as teachers, it is our JOB to give them accurate and honest feedback about the work they are doing, the thoughts and opinions that they express, their grammatical and arithmetical skills, their comprehension of the material that we have assigned them and their ability to work with it.


Yes, apparently, this is the same mouth that prays the Hours of Mary and has interesting ideas about Medieval History.

One would think a devotion to Mary and her son, Jesu Christ, would result in rhetoric that is not so reprehensible and rebarbative - but that is the behavior one gets with many Professors these days.

Dang, before ABS discovered this, he signed up as a subscriber to her blog..

C'et la vie, those sign-ups can be rescinded.

Who wants to read or hear her particular and peculiar form of caprizant Christianity?

Jesus Christ and his toxic masculinity is feared by The Hierarchy

Image
Apparently that is how Jesus Christ is conceived of by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. They are forever blathering about His compassion and Mercy because they instinctively fear that His Law and His Commands represents toxic masculinity. Toxic is the adjective used by progressive commies to describe masculinity because they hate and fear men. The Prelature fears it may someday actually have to stand before His Judgment Seat and be judged with right judgment and so instead of the masculine Resurrected Jesus Christ that makes professional soldiers cringe in fear the Roman Catholic Prelature (go on, identify one Prelate whose physicality, bearing, truth-telling, and identifiably masculine presence is objectively recognisable) is constrained to lie to itself and us that Jesus Christ is just a poor itinerant preacher or a resurrected version of a merciful  Percy Dovetonsils because the Truth of Jesus Christ is a  truth  tha...

The failure of Bishop Emeritus Ratzinger

From the Nuke Bomb statement of Vigano.. Immediately after, the Pope asked me in a deceitful way: “What is Cardinal McCarrick like?” I answered him with complete frankness and, if you want, with great naiveté: “Holy Father, I don’t know if you know Cardinal McCarrick, but if you ask the Congregation for Bishops there is a dossier this thick about him. He corrupted generations of seminarians and priests and Pope Benedict ordered him to withdraw to a life of prayer and penance.” The Pope did not make the slightest comment about those very grave words of mine and did not show any expression of surprise on his face, as if he had already known the matter for some time, and he immediately changed the subject. But then, what was the Pope’s purpose in asking me that question: “What is Cardinal McCarrick like?” He clearly wanted to find out if I was an ally of McCarrick or not. When he was Pope, Benedict XVI failed to do what was necessary - Laicise McCarrick, turn him over to the secu...
