The donations for free ultrasounds and things is because women aren't educated. Unfortunately we live in a world where men and women alike need to be convinced that unborn children are beings with souls; honestly, I don't think this is much different than families in past times having children for the sole purpose of putting them to work. It's all just a matter of...convenience/profit.

That being said, children still need their mothers. If we're going to shoot anyone with a tube, it should be the doctors and anyone else who makes a profit from convincing the population that babies aren't human beings.

Suppose neocities can't make the thumbnail on the actual page. I think I've come to cope with the fact that my generation will come to live a life more normal for most of the world and history. Middle Class people were anomalies to begin with, and even when it's no longer possible to live that way, we'll be okay. We weren't made for this level of comfort to begin with.

Cont. When a virtue's prayed for, God gives a problem to build the virtue by solving it. My job's difficult. I'm grateful for it because it allows me to exercise the Rosary's virtues, all that I asked. And, when it comes to material favors I'll know I'll have them by the virtues gifted to my soul as a result of working through difficult problems. This will be true for so long as I live.
XXXVII In Conversation with God - https://thelesserword.neocities.org/Diary-Common-Man/Common-Man#Toc-XXXVII
The last time I ever did confession was way back when I was in catholic/sunday school. I only did it once and I honestly didn't think I confessed all of my sins. I probably have a whole list of confessions I'd have to make now that I'm an adult.
@Wizard, What you'll have to do is confess once everything you remember and you'll be forgiven of sins confessed, AND those you forgot to confess. The latter you should confess as you remember them. If one hasn't confessed for a time, it's pertinent they confess as soon as possible, no matter how lame the confession is. And tell the priest how long it's been. If it's been 20 years, he'll help you along
