Last week I brought up the importance of men and women complimenting each other with their sexual differences by living according to authentic masculinity and femininity. So I was pleased to come across this column at the Catholic Exchange’s TOB Channel on what one man is doing to teach his sons how to grow to be “Godly, Loving Men.” He … Read More
TOB Tuesday: We Were Made Male and Female
I found these short clips from the Theology of the Body for Teens series: TOB segement for guys: TOB segement for girls: The world today, which sees authentic masculinity and femininity as antiquated, sexist ideals, may look at these videos and think: Why the separate advice for guys and girls?

This is a beautiful song by a group called Flipsyde about the lead singer’s remorse over ending his child’s life by abortion. I don’t listen to any sort of rap or hip/hop music so I found out about this on LifeSite News.
