Levada Celebrates Saint Patrick
Rome
Yesterday, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal William Joseph Levada, presided at a special St Patrick’s jubilee mass for the Irish community in Rome. On St Patrick’s day in 1911, the Church dedicated to the Apostle of Ireland opened its doors. It is the national church for the Irish community in the heart of Rome. In his homily Levada spoke of the tradition of faith that has been strong in the Irish people since their conversion over 1500 years ago. He called on the young people to allow themselves be inspired by the story of the young man Patrick and his missionary dream.

As you know, during this penitential time of lent the 3 traditional practices are prayer, fasting/mortification and almsgiving. Along with giving alms to one's favorite charity, giving to those in need and giving to the Church, perhaps making a donation to Gloria.tv could also be considered especially since we posters are all beneficiaries of the good work that Gloria.tv is doing.

If you use PayPal, the process is very easy.

God Bless you.

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals and that hilarious comedy snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"

"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals and that hilarious comedy snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of ravioli, lasagna, and even cannoli."

"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create an Italian man for you."
"What's an “Italian man”, Lord?"
"This Italian man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego, likes to wear tacky shark-tooth bling and is unable to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger and faster and more muscular than you. He'll be really good at making you laugh, he’ll buy you stuff, plus, he’ll be terrific in the sack."
"Terrific in the sack"? Hmmmm

"Sounds great," says Eve, with a shy smile on her face.
"Yeah, well. He's better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. But, you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."

God said, "I was going to give you a companion and it would be a woman. This person will cook for you and wash your clothes. She will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will be beautiful will never have a headache, and will freely give you love and tenderness whenever needed.
👍

Adam asked God, "What would a woman like this cost me??"

😲

God said, "An arm and a leg."

Adam asked, "What can I get for just a rib???"

You know...the rest of the story.

What has happened to us on account of the sin of Adam?
On account of the sin of Adam, we, his descendants, come into the world deprived of sanctifying grace and inherit his punishment, as we would have inherited his gifts had he been obedient to God.
"Therefore as through one man sin entered into the world and through sin death, and thus death has passed into all men." (Rom. 5:12)

What has happened to us on account of the sin of Adam?

On account of the sin of Adam, we, his descendants, come into the world deprived of sanctifying grace and inherit his punishment, as we would have inherited his gifts had he been obedient to God.

"Therefore as through one man sin entered into the world and through sin death, and thus death has passed into all men." (Rom. 5:12)

This sin in us is called original sin. It is the state in which every descendant of Adam comes into the world, totally deprived of grace, through inheriting the punishment, not of Adam's personal sin, but his sin as head of the human race. This sin is called original because it comes down to us through our origin, from Adam.

Adam should have said something to try to stop Eve. That would have been the loving thing to do.
Paul seems to pick up on this in his first letter to Timothy when he says the following:
Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. {12} I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. {13} For Adam was formed first, then Eve; …More

Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. {12} I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. {13} For Adam was formed first, then Eve; {14} and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. [1 Timothy 2:11-14]
Adam should have said something to help his wife, but he did not.
Further investigation
In the Bible, Adam and Eve are like a picture of Jesus and the Church (Eph. 5:31-32). However, the difference is that, whereas Adam failed his wife (Gen. 3:6), Jesus succeeded in caring for the Church (Eph. 5:25-27): Adam didn’t saying anything to help his wife overcome temptation, but Jesus teaches the Church and leads her away from temptation, if the members of the Church listen to his instructions (Mat. 7:24). God asks Christians to “act out” this relationship between Jesus and the Church (e.g., 1 Cor. 11:3f.; Eph. 5:22-33), with the male Christians representing Jesus and the female Christians representing the Church — hence Paul’s instructions in 1 Tim. 2:11-14: male Christians are to show what Jesus did (which Adam didn’t) — i.e., speak to lead the Church in a godly way — and female Christians show what the Church should do (which Eve didn’t) — i.e., listen to the leader, Jesus. This is like living a parable that is designed to help all Christians remember to listen to and follow Jesus.

Biologically Impossible Ratios

USA

Here's an interesting chart showing the ratio of males vs. females in selected countries around the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countri…

With 1.19 males for every 1 female born, China's selective abortion of female babies is the most skewed in the world. Added to that is we can't be sure if China's reported numbers are accurate.

The chart also shows that for the vast majority of countries the ratio of females over males is incredibly high after age 65 proving that, statistically, women live longer than men.

The reason for more women after 65?

With their incessant nagging, bossiness, and their desire to control, women drive their husbands to an early grave. Adam's first mistake, even before taking a bite out of the apple, was teaching Eve how to talk. Of course, none of this would apply to any of the administration or posters at Gloria.tv.
