The Vatican has BLOCKED efforts by the United Nations to include climate funding for 'gender' in COP29 discussions

The Vatican did so over fears that the word 'gender' would lead to men who identify as women receiving money from the financial packages intended to assist women

I'm very skeptical of online influencers most of the time.

I'm not putting the credibility of any of these people in check, mainly because I never cared enough to follow influencers or even know the first thing about them in the first place.

The reason why I never wanted to do anything else with my channels or my fanbase is that I abhor the thought of being seen as a role model. I'm a flawed man and I have nothing to tell you that you wouldn't be able to learn by yourselves anyway.

As they say in my country, the internet is a land of "too many chieftains and too few indians"

Beware of snake-oil vendors. Most of the time - and, again, I don't know half of the people mentioned in this picture - the doctor who promises you a cure for everything can't even cure his own illnesses.

A wife and mother SHOULD NEVER have to work outside her house unless the family can not afford to cover their basic necessities (food and housing).
Wanting a new car, cable TV or holidays abroad does not justify a woman abandoning her children while she's at work.

Want to Love Your Spouse Better

In questions which children's privacy:

If your child had a diary or a notepad, how would you go about it? If the child did not want to tell you something or show you something, how would you respond?

This is going to be a bit of a sensitive topic, but I am interested nevertheless and would wish to use the advice for my own parenting:

For those of you who were abused and feel comfortable enough to share your experiences as a parent (or if you would like to become a parent in the future), how do you break the cycle of abuse and ensure the happiness and joy of your children and family?

DECEMBER 10: SHE LED WOMEN AWAY FROM PROSTITUTION
Blessed Maria Emilia Riquelme Zayas
Religious Virgin and Founder
Died: 1940
---
She was a Spanish nun and founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Mary Immaculate. Even when she was not yet a nun, she already took time to serve the sick in hospitals and help the poor. She also gave her money to poor young women to keep them away from prostitution. Her work and personal piety attracted other like-minded women. This became the start of her religious congregation.
---
Blessed Maria Emilia Riquelme Zayas, please pray for the women of today to abandon promiscuity, to stay righteous, and to stay faithful to the virtue of chastity all their lives. Please pray for young men so that they might not corrupt themselves or the women of today, but instead help them to grow into chaste, virtuous women. Amen.

For women, does you or someone in your life (husband, brother, friend, etc) have a hot temper? How do you find ways to respect and love them despite this flaw? What do you avoid? What do you suggest?
