Two Worlds Separated by Age
I considered myself "older middle-aged". Old is always ten years older than I am. My mother told me last summer that she liked a certain restaurant as it was full of young people. "I do not like being around old people all the time," she said,
and she is 86. Dad is 91.
They are old.
I am not.
But, more and more I see that the young, who I claim are those under 45, simply do not understand the old.
Nor do they want to do so.
When I was a young person, still living at home, every Sunday we visited both grandmas. First, we visited Dad's mom and then we visited Mom's mom. They joined us for birthdays and holidays, although one had to take turns as she had so many children and grandchildren.
Now, I think the young may not even see the elderly on regular basis. Sometimes, families must move for jobs. This is the way it has always been in America.
But, do people still "visit"? Mobility has destroyed the ability to just pop in and sit down for a visit.
Two days ago, two old sisters, (89 and 83), popped in on my for a visit. We had such a good time talking about God, prayer, the saints. They are full of wonderful stories. They pray.
To visit is to bridge the age gaps, but so many people are so busy and the Internet had taken the place of visiting, that I wonder if this custom is gone forever.
Two worlds are separated, the young and the old, but new ways of communication. Those older friends of mine who are not on the Net may write letters or cards, but I must admit I am closest now to those with whom I can "talk with" on line.
Most of my older friends live far, far away from me.
We are separated by time, space, money, travel.
So, even in my world, there are separations.
We have lost the ability to pop-in. which brings together the old and the young.
They are old.
I am not.
But, more and more I see that the young, who I claim are those under 45, simply do not understand the old.

Yesterday and Today
I placed many videos, including the best, which are against Common Core.
If you are a parent and have your children in a Common Core school, they are already in the database which lying people are denying.
Most community colleges and small junior colleges are also connected to CC and the ACT is no longer an independent testing agency, but the test for the CC and, therefore, under the government.
If your children turn against you and your Catholic faith and you kept them in CC schools, you have only yourself to blame.

But, it is not just about standards. It is about social engineering.

Calling Evil Good Is Sin
Some Catholics seem confused about evil. These Catholics may reveal a larger number of Catholics who are confused about evil.
These "some" Catholics to which I refer are bloggers and commentators who refuse to call good good and evil evil.
No position, no "religion" in this world is neutral.
I would like to quote our Founder:“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Matthew 12:30
Blogger and commentators have overlooked this statement of Our Lord. One does not ever stand in a neutral position before God and man.
Examples: so-called "religions" which do not hold that Christ is God and Man and which do not follow the Ten Commandments, believe in Revelation and reject Christ's teachings as given through the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church are not "neutral". Paganism is not "neutral. Islam is not "neutral". Buddhism is not "neutral".
More examples: the mass media is not neutral; political parties are not neutral; the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are not neutral; rock music is not neutral; most television shows are not neutral; Common Core is not neutral, and so on.
Why do people not see that groups and individuals are either for or against God?
Catholics who refuse to consider this fact will be swept away when the tribulation comes as they have muddied the clarity of discernment given to them by God.
More examples: stores and restaurant chains which give to Planned Parenthood are not neutral; companies which give money for PP or for fetal based research are not neutral, which includes Pepsi and many cosmetic companies.
I could go on.
When Catholics finally decide to totally follow Christ and not compromise, we shall see a strong Church. It is cynical and sinful to accept evil and downright evil to call evil good.
More examples: Twilight, Harry Potter, Dungeons and Dragons, New Age groups, yoga, reiki, and such are evil. Masonry is evil, as are all the secret societies.The list is long. These things are not neutral nor good.
If a Catholic cannot see what is good and what is evil, one must do what my old spiritual director told me ages ago. Ask God to show you the sin in your life which stops or perverts your discernment.
It is sin which clouds our ability to see good and see evil for what these are.
And, in this time, ignorance is not an excuse.
I have discussed the last set of examples with several exorcists who all agree on what games, books, practices are evil, what are doors to direct contact with demonic influence. I have listed some above. We need to make choices for good, not evil.
If you are compromising, you are cooperating with evil. Simple.
May I quote Moses:
