The 4B Movement is a Cult of Death, by John M. Grondelski, Ph.D.

By John M. Grondelski, Ph.D., Catholic World Report - What is most interesting to me, however, is the “4B reaction” of this death cult. For those noninitiates who never heard of this movement... it is apparently a five-something-year-old South Korean “feminist” ideological import. The four “Bs” are words in Korean: 1) no dating men, 2) no marrying men, 3) no having babies, 4) no sex with men....

But they should welcome the general erosion of the open society consensus and its ready accusations of fascism and authoritarianism. In that regard, whatever one thinks of the man or his platform, Trump’s electoral success is good news for those of us who think that the highest, noblest, and most liberating act is to surrender ourselves, heart, mind, and soul, to God.

Daily Scripture Reading and Meditation: We Have Only Done Our Duty

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word - Luke 17:7-10 - 7 "Will any one of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, say to him when he has come in from the field, `Come at once and sit down at table'? 8 Will he not rather say to him, `Prepare supper for me, and gird yourself and serve me, till I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink'? 9 Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? 10 So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, `We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'"
