I absolutely believe that Family is at the core of Catholic teaching, modeled by the Holy Family. As a father, I am responsible for my family. I am responsible, along with mom, for seeing to it that my babies prenatally develop healthy, they are born healthy, they are baptized and raised with familial love. That sense of responsibility comes from the love parents naturally have for their children. They come first. And because they come first, I am responsible for showing them the love we have for Jesus Christ, our personal Lord and Savior. As a Catholic man, of course I love everyone, but do my children come first, you bet they do, unconditionally, and my children know it. I tell them I love them every day, and you know what, they tell their kids they love them every day, as well. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for my wife and children. I adore them.
The marriage is the 1st example of hierarchical love in the Bible. The 10 Commandments says to honor your parents, a positive command, while the other commands dealing with neighbor has negative commands of what not to do. But back at the beginning with Adam and Eve, it says that they should leave their father/mother and attach themselves to their spouse. So while there should be no conflict, if bush comes to shove between your parents and your spouse, spouse is #1.
You are correct, Anthony, both about properly-ordered love, and the stupidity of university faculty - most of whom have PhDs. In 40 years teaching at 5 different universities, I can say that the level of rank stupidity is stunning. God Bless.
I like the saying "common sense is a flower which doesn't grow in everyone's garden". It seems to be gaining more and more truth day by day. Unfortunately it is less and less humorous as well.
Weight loss tips that worked for me oversimplified for a YT comment: gradually over months reduce carbs down to less than 60g per day. Introduce intermittent fasting (water ok, no food). Do physical activities you enjoy. All of the above works to change your relationship with food since your primary fuel source is fat instead of carbs. I realized I don’t need to eat with any frequency so I only eat when it’s convenient. Once you’ve been eating like this for a long time, it’s the default for your body and eating one donut will be very filling. The only effort is in the beginning.
Goldsboro has tlm twice a month the ssspx priest visits. Wilmington on the last Sunday has tlm at the basilica. Dunn sacred heart has tlm every Sunday and sometimes during the week. My brother drives from burgaw to go with my parents to those chapels
Anthony I find you very interesting and spiritually enlightening. However you talk so fast I miss much of what you are trying to communication. Please slow down your oration Thank you
"Give not those things that are holy to dogs." Some people are opportunists whose loyalty lasts as long as the treats in your hand.

Love thy neighbor as thy self, sounds like you know that person and he isn't a stranger.
Patriotism is a virtue.
Nationalism was responsible for every war in the 20th Century.
JD’s take certainly does align with my wife’s plaque on the kitchen wall:
“Love begins at home.”
Thank you. Love this post.
Amazingly cogent stream, God Bless you Anthony
If this teaching isn't rightly ordered then why does society rank their money worldly goods this way?
PhD = "Piled Higher and Deeper" :-)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree!!

Perfectly articulated!!
Without converts to the faith, the church would not grow. I am a convert of 35 years. Christus Rex!!
President Reagan made a HUGE and for me, it was wonderful, change in the medical system.
Rory Stewart is a former, not a current MP.
The Catholic Church acted in Poland. So with the United States
What happened in Alaska?
Yes, I have no clue what he’s talking about.

Let's be understanding, he's only a newly converted! God bless him.
He is correct. Are you being a bit self righteous.
I thought the Bible said to love your neighbor as you love yourself. There is no hierarchy in the Bible
The Bible is not the sole source of authority for Christians.
@ I know that, but Catholic social teaching should not contradict the Bible
Jesus and His parents did observe all hierarchy of the Jewish religion.
It doesn't, as the Catholic teachers I cited here show.
