What do you guys think of celebrating feast days on here? Last Saturday was the feast of Saint James, the Apostle.

Ok this result was crazy. It was an issue about the movie industry working mostly abroad.

Just out of curiousity, who's everyone's favourite Saint (or Saint's).

For me it's Mother Mary (Mother of God and Queen of Heaven. Her prayers have helped me a lot in life.).

I think that's probably gonna be everyone's answer though so I'll add some more. (Edit: a lot more apparently)

St. Peter (the first Pope and an Apostle of Jesus), St. Paul (a lot to his story as well), St. John, St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St. Luke (the gospel writers), the rest of the Apostles I haven't mentioned (besides Judas who isn't Saint) St. Michael the Archangel (defend us in battle), St. Gabriel the archangel (what a beautiful thing it must have been to tell Mary that she would have Jesus as her son), and St. Raphael the archangel.

Also:

St. Louis (King of France who was very pious and Holy. He died in a crusade.), St. Joan of Arc (just imagine a very pious poor teengage girl leading an entire army againt foriegn invaders with a banner), St. Thomas Aquinas (lots of writing in philosophy, his writings helped me realize you can rationally argue for God's existence.), St. Francis (I could ramble on all day about him), St. Lawrence (he lived an amazing life and even while he was dying a painful death he kept his faith in God), St. Jean de Brebeuf and St. Gabriel Lalemant (two of the North American Martyrs who tried to convert the Huron people before dying brutal deaths, as in horror story guts a gore type of brutal death and as we all know a good historical horror story that actually happened to real people is never complete without a little cannibalism), St. Charles Garnier (Charles is actually my confirmation name) (he's also a North American Martyr), St. Augustine, and St. Pope John Paul II.

Obviously a big one to add to this list is my Guardian Angel. Probably the most stressful  job I can think of.

Edit: You ever just realize half of your favourite Saints are martyrs?

I was interested in the workings of the game so I dug into it. I'd encourage you to take a look at this thread, the mod covers unexpected and seemingly unproportional statistics changes pretty well:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=424650

If you get a stats result that you think is super broken when considered through that Q&A lens, you can bring it up to the moderators and they will look into it.

Huh, interesting thread. I hadn't noticed the game was trying to "figure out" where I want to go with my nation. Apparently it's a bit more complicated than I thought it was. From reading some examples in that post, maybe the dramatic change was because I was bringing a new industry into a nation was mostly agrarian.

Thanks for sharing that thread. I actually got annoyed at how difficult it was to raise the economy points and have been shamelessly cheating by checking the outcomes of issues I don't care too much about one way or another and picking whatever is more economy-focused. It felt a bit like nearly every decision I would make on a "roleplaying basis" was sinking the economy more and more, even when the choice didn't sound like it should!

I was actually wondering if the game was rigged to only allow strong economies in certain types of nation (not necessarily divided by left and right, by the way, as we clearly have very strong Crazy Commie China and MURICA nations around the site).

Just fund everything.

BLM are now burning bibles. Because overthrowing statues of saints and our Lord Jesus Christ wasn't enough.

Meanwhile, there are Catholics, including a major (often completely heretical) magazine, saying AOC is the future of Catholicism. Oh, and crowds of Catholics in Twitter condemning Bishop Barron for standing up against accusing saints of being "colonizers". We're eating each other, it's no surprise the world wants to take a bite too.

I think that we need to enforce the law in our own culture if we ever want to see substantial change with respect to abortion, divorce, contraception, and promiscuity. Otherwise, we're just yelling in the dark.

Are we prepared to ban contraception, divorce, and abortion? Until we are, we're just yelling in the dark.

This war is lost on the world, abortion will be allowed on all planet, contraception is and will be the rule and promiscuity can't be hold anymore. Humans have a rational part but they still animals, easily tempted by libido, like dogs, this irrational part is essential to reproduction and even with contraception most of the humans will still bow before the sensitive side, as Saint Thomas Aquinas says, only angels may be reason alone. This world belong to darkness, it will be a promiscuous, over-sexual, LGBT, Feminist, drug addicted world, resistance would be possible maybe decades ago, but now it is to late, it is a hard reality.

This world have been taken over by darkness until the end of times, and it will not be soon, but there is one battlefield that darkness may not prevail Brother.

We, the people who knows that just because this is the mainstream culture is wrong, darkness may have taken the world, but don't take over ourselves, will don't take you if you remain faithful and wise.

Remember, as Catholics, despite living in the world we are not of this world, ok that it don't means that we must let it go even worse, but don't expect a restoration of Christian Civilization and it's values, we may hold the line for some time but on global scenario we know who rules this planet until the end of world and the final battle of the universe.

A lot of Catholics are on SJW too, in fact it was inside the Church that liberation theology, a socialist like theology was created and spread on Latin America, while priests and friars protected communists the protestants get prosperity theology (and both are wrong) and already have more active members on Brazil than Catholics.

Most Catholics are "raised Catholics", you know the joke about the girl who studies on Catholic School and became a promiscuous, anti-catholic and feminist college sorority s**t? People think that it is because the Catholic School was so conservative, I studied on Catholic School and I may assure you, the problem is that Catholicism became so liberal, most Catholics fear been considered modern inquisition if they try to enforce some rules, sadly if you want a girl to became a promiscuous feminist, all you need is yo put her on a Catholic School, most of it don't apply a Catholic education, everything is like "punishment will be so hard, let's not be inquisitors like in the past, let's just talk about love and let the girl that made sex with two boys on the school bathrooms alone.".

The Jesuits got me fixed feelings, they helped to colonize the New World they say, but a lot of them were among the first to denounce slavery, Catholics from other orders like the friar Bartolomé de Las Casas, a Dominican, denounced slavery, and the engagement of Jesuits on education give a boost do language studies because they decoded a lot of indigenous languages and begun even to print the Bible on their languages, the problem is that the Jesuits gone left on the Cold War, to the point of sometimes helping the communists, today these people clearly side with the today equivalent of the that age, the political faction that got overpower and I and a lot of people just call "The Left".

Considering that The Left got an irreversible victory on cultural war to the point of "conservative" becaming an offense and "s**t" a compliment, the best we could do is to don't mix with these people or if necessary have caution and engage them if they don't have so much charisma, charisma worth more than logic to most people, remember that.

Apart from the Dominican bias, very wise words.

But I think it is deeper. Religion is dying and The Left is filling the vacuum. They kill it and they colonise it. The Left is all about emotion and sentimentalism. Zero logic or realism. They treat politics as a church.

There is no pure reason, everyone votes emotionally and sadly, The Left completely takes advantage of that. It is like having Jerry Springer for a Pope.

Those appealing to the most basic of reason or logic, are denounced as heretics/nazis

Well...

Acknowledging that abortion, divorce, contraception, and promiscuity have become normalized, I think that the only choice for us is to keep fighting.

Don't give up, as irrational as it sounds. It's easy to throw in the towel and quit like everyone else but we're on the verge of winning.

Keep evangelizing.
Keep proselytizing.
Keep converting.

Sidenote: Men, when you go on dates and interact with women don't be ashamed to mention the faith.

Tell women that you're not looking for hook-ups, you're looking for marriage.

You'll feel amazing when you do and you will stand out!

Hopefully this trend is patriotism rather than nationalism.

Don't give in to marxist newspeak: patriotism and nationalism are synonymous.

If you want to oppose fascism, use that word.

I come from a nation and I defend that nation. I am a nationalist.

True, I have a classmate of mine. We entered a Catholic school to have better discipline and to know our faith in the lord, but she turned to a feminist pro-lgbt, pro-abortionist, brain-dead leftist in our years in high school. Same with other of my classmates who seemed to turn against the faith despite studying in a Catholic school.

Anmola wrote:Poland are actually becoming more conservative and catholic

Yep, amen to that. Poland seems to be one of the last bastions of Christianity in Europe, I hope one day traditionalism would take root in France and in the nordic countries, although it seems impossible without the help of the far-right parties.

That is untrue, St. Josemaria Escriva makes this distinction. After all, he saw the Spanish Civil War and the World Wars that followed.

Patriotism is a love of one's country while Nationalism tends to be is its jingoistic, unquestioning counterpart. Before the love of one's country comes the love of God.

To add on to this I can actually turn these two terms back onto the left. When it comes to Canada the Left (in terms of feminism, LGBT stuff, and abortion, etc.) are pretty nationalistic. "Look at how 'free' our nation is. Look at all the 'rights' our citizens have!"

Me? While I do love my country I don't look at Canada and say, "Look at all the 'freedom' we have!" I don't support literally thousands if not millions dying by abortion nor the moral decay of society. I love my country very much yet part of that love is wanting it to turn from it's wicked ways.

Criticizing your country when it actually is  needed is love (willing the good of the other), staying silent when great evil is being committed is in no way loving your country, blindly supporting it is not loving your nation.

Yet again if you criticize something that the nation is doing good (for example: helping the poor) that's also not good. Supporting your nation when it does something good is loving your nation.

People think patriotism and nationalism is simply describing the Right wingers\traditionalists. No. You can have a nationalistic Leftist, just look to the USSR.
