As a consequence of , normal life has been revealed as hopelessly corrupt. When the lockdowns are finally lifted, Americans will be waking to a new world, one with the specter of a second outbreak looming overhead.

The city won't be the same. Local businesses are closing down permanently, and we now know our supply chains are brittle. If you are starting to think political action is necessary, consider how big business donates large lump sums to politicians. Big business writes bills, these days. Politicians are owned. To fight back, we need to start at the level, at

Business resembles less private enterprise, and more monopoly, as we go on. Look at the major telecom providers in the United States. Monopolistic big business is analogous to government. Leftists recognize this fact and lobby to legitimize it under official Federal red white and blue.

The leftists are, predictably, wrong. The answer is not more centralization, but decentralization. Power should arise from , from the smallest entity capable of responding responsibly. Look what happens when individuals come together to protect their own interests. There are advantages to monopolies, but decentralized local businesses are less brittle, and harder to censor. This is the future, going forward.

Private enterprise is the basis of a free market capitalist system, it is a business unit established, owned, and operated by private individuals for profit, instead of by or for any government or its agencies.

@MichaelA I've read a couple of your blog posts. Very detailed and deep.

I have made it a part of my ministry to speak to sinners and heretics because, s St. John XXIII explained in Mater et Magistra, "the Social teaching proclaimed by the Catholic Church cannot be separated from her traditional teaching regarding man's life" (no. 222). And therefore the "teaching and spreading of her social doctrine are a part of the Church's evangelizing mission."

I encourage other Catholics to do the same. If you let yourself be silenced by liberal radicals, then you are a chump. Nothing is stopping you from responding with the truth, and more importantly, your faith demands that you stand up with the truth.

Sinful behavior has been institutionalized and thus sins "grow stronger, spread, and become the source of others sins, and so influence people's behavior." St John Paul II

This infographic by "Defense of Sanity" shows biblical basis for why the Eucharist is not just a symbol:

Pius XI taught in his encyclical Quas Primas, "all men, whether collectively or individually, are under the dominion of Christ." For "it would be a grave say that Christ has no authority whatever in civil affairs, since by virtue of the absolute empire over all creatures committed to Him by the Father, all things are in His power."

Militant secularists are behind a campaign to destroy the moral order.

Young millennials are returning to tradition after experiencing modernist betrayals. For each of us, it will be a different tipping point. You can read about some of my journey, here,

For this man, it was the sight of the trampled Host. This is not an experience reserved for Catholics. Many young people today see the fruits of the modern world: rising rates of suicide, expanding debt, alienation, loneliness, hyper-sexualization, divorce, and believe the culprit is patriarchialism or Republicans. They don't realize that the answer has been here, all along, and it can be found in God, and in a return to traditionalism.

"Due to their nonreligious identity, more than half of participants (54.5%) had negative experiences with family members, nearly one third (29.4%) in education, and more than one in five (21.7%) in the workplace. Of those who experienced discrimination within their families, there was a 73.3% higher rate of likely depression."

A lack in unity with God causes these outcomes, not discrimination. The cult of victimhood will turn the righteous distrust of the Godless into a special interest group that deserves more rights at the expense of religious, hetero-normative individuals.

Guilt and shame will eat you alive, until you submit to God and

Many souls are isolated and alone during this lockdown. Call your friend who lives alone and is suffering from depression. Pick up groceries for your grandmother.

Massive media campaigns, Supreme Court lies, doctors' lies, and an apathetic clergy have convinced women that abortions are morally okay. A lot of women have been convinced that they'd make such bad mothers that death is the best thing for their child. This is tragic.

Don't murder your child out of a false sense of responsibility. So many people say that everything good in their lives came from their children, and many people who would be most swayed by that argument are those who would grow to become responsible parents. When you become a parent, you open yourself up to the transforming power of grace.

Culture Shock 2020

In 1960 a woman couldn't legally open a bank account without signed permission from her father or her husband, obtain any form of birth control, get a divorce without evidence of wrongdoing on part of the Husband, murder her baby in utero, or serve on a jury. As society has adopted an egalitarian philosophy, the laws have changed.

The Catholic Church teaches complementarianism, not egalitarianism.

Complementarianism holds that "God has created men and women equal in their essential dignity and human person-hood, but different and complementary in function with male headship in the home and in the Church. "
