Masculine men are born by overcoming adversity and suffering.
Feminine women are preserved by masculine men who protect them from adversity and suffering.
If men get soft, everything crumbles.

It is certainly true, as has been remarked, that it is in great measure because Catholics fail to live fully as members of Christ that Our Lordβs enemies succeed in their designs. β If Jews control the fashions,β the question is asked, βwho wears them?"
But it is also true that Catholics succumb to the machinations of Our Lordβs enemies largely because they are not trained for the real struggle in the world.
They leave school without adequate knowledge of the organized opposition they will have to meet and with their minds hazy about the points of social organization for which they must stand and against which attacks are being directed.
They do not realize that the opposition's ultimate aim is the disruption of Christβs order and they are not accustomed to think that they must co-operate with other young Catholics for Our Lordβs programme, that they must, for example, master the cinema and prevent it from undermining Christian marriage, the foundation of family life in their country.
