  1. While evil retained the ability to permeate & infiltrate all in this fallen world as the Old Testament both prophesized and warned, Christianity still reigns and serves as one of the lone virtuous and hallowed reprieves from the plagues that haunt this era.

    And as Vermont’s public school system continues to devolve into its abyss that represents all that is depraved and disordered, it’s a reminder to all parents & guardians to remove their charges from these toxic environs and into one of the numerous parochial schools wherein children’s minds, bodies, and spirits are developed & refined in coordination with humanity, dignity and morality.

    Leftists often fawn over “choice” – except when it comes to school choice. The slaughter of the unborn is what they offer up to society as “choice”. Move your children out of the debauched public education system in VT and into an academic environment where youngsters’ can flourish in every respect.

  2. I know Fr. McDermott from his days at both the Catholic Center at UVM and Christ the King Church, where I attended both. He’s proven to be more of the same. As evil gallops through the culture of Vermont and its children, the Catholic Church will continue to sit on its hands and remain silent. I’m dumbfounded by their passivity.

    • Again, it is because we live within a fallen world and evil permeates all, not including the church, but ESPECIALLY the church. It’s the “Almighty” dollar in some, albeit certainly not all, that you have noticed. Instead, teach your children well nevertheless, learn the Biblical teachings, and have the next generation learn to distinguish between right and wrong.

      And continue to attend for your soul’s sake and to be nearest to God as possible during these times of tumult.

      No one should be attending services or forsaking their faith because they either like or dislike a priest or a minister or a rabbi.
      Essentially removing God and one’s presence from within your spirit or His House because of dislikes and bitterness, well, that’s the work of the devil. And the devil is as real as the clothes on one’s back.
