I’m currently reading Paul Kingsworth’s “Against the Machine,” and just finished the chapter on how losing the concept of the home has accelerated our decline as a culture. “Strip the last remaining fires from the last remaining hearths, and you are one step closer to what is perhaps the ultimate ambition of the Machine: the abolition of home.”

Absolutely. When I read Kingsnorth's book, that passage also jumped out at me.

I enthusiastically praise you merely for the pun in the title! My gratefulness to God could go on and on.... ;)

Punning is one of my favorite pastimes... :-)

My husband and I retire at the same time as usual. We want to go to Latin Mass which is a little distance in the morning. It is not tedious at all for us.

I absolutely choose "Te Deum" but with one glass of white wine. Happy New Year Peter.

De Santis said Nos to AI in FL. Kudos to him. I day that AI is the newest Satan's lever to aid him on the destruction of the Catholic Church, he will try any way.

I see now my misspelled, but see no option to edit, interesting!

I think if you select the three dots, aka ellipses (…) you may edit

Nop! I tried it, there's only two pop up options, Share or Delete. Strange though. I will ask Juan, maybe he knows the trick. A Blessed New Year!
