Exit USA
Some thoughts on the major players in the 3 games played by the USA in the World Cup this year.

I can attest, from experience, that most of what he writes in the article as gospel truth in the world [...]

Parenthetical Marriage
The Pontifical Council for the Family has issued a new document entitled "Family and Human Procreation". While it is only released in Italian at the moment, it apparently says that using natural family planning to have only one or a maximum of two children "is nothing other than a kind of series of brief parentheses [...]
