should I read it?? and does it talk about love and God???

Bros, today I come with two questions:
First, can you recommend me some womanless classics? by this I mean classic literature where women are not featured or mentioned in any way at all.
Second, would it be a good idea to make womanless abridged versions of classics, where I edit them and take out the parts that feature women? I understand that the integrity of a work of art is very important, so I would only do it with books where not much is lost by deleting the pozzed scenes and descriptions. What would be some good works to try this?

No but I get terrible bouts of panic and anxiety which make reading incredibly hard. I find just setting up a good space and just telling yourself to read for even 10-15 minutes will spark you up and you'll find yourself reading for longer than you thought. You're a lot stronger and braver than you think. No homo

What societal changes was the church a bastion against in the 20th century? Please explain without recourse to pictures of late medieval gothic cathedrals retouched by city planners in the 19th century with quotes from various fiction writers imposed on them.

Your opinion that Christianity is easier doesn't carry any weight if you have nothing to back it up with. And on that note, are you familiar with "The Benedict Option"? Because the argument there is that Christianity is in fact radically incompatible with contemporary Western culture and that to practice Christianity would require a certain sort of... detachment from the world... almost in a monastic sort of way...

Any literature on becoming a solitary monk as an atheist

The man who indulges in impurity is like a person labouring under the dropsy. The latter is so much tormented by thirst, that the more he drinks the more thirsty he becomes. Such, too, is the nature of the accursed vice of impurity; it is never satiated. “As,” says St. Thomas of Villanova , ”the more the dropsical man abounds in moisture, the more he thirsts; so, too, is it with the waves of eternal pleasures.” I will speak Today of the vice of impurity, and will show, in the first point, the delusion of those who say that this vice is but a small evil; and, in the second, the delusion of those who say, that God takes pity on this sin, and that he does not punish it.


First Point – Delusion of those who say that sins against purity are not a great evil.

1. The unchaste, then, say that sins contrary to purity are but a small evil. Like”the sow wallowing in the mire” (” Sus lota in volutabro luti – 2 Pet. ii. 22), they are immersed in their own filth, so that they do not see the malice of their actions; and therefore they neither feel nor abhor the stench of their impurities, which excite disgust and horror in all others. Can you, who say that the vice of impurity is but a small evil can you, I ask, deny that it is a mortal sin?

If you deny it, you are a heretic; for as St. Paul says: “Do not err. Neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, etc., shall possess the kingdom of God.” (1 Cor. vi. 9.) It is a mortal sin; it cannot be a small evil. It is more sinful than theft, or detraction, or the violation of the fast. How then can you say that it is not a great evil? Perhaps mortal sin appears to you to be a small evil? Is it a small evil to despise the grace of God, to turn your back upon him, and to lose his friendship, for a transitory, beastly pleasure?

2. St. Thomas teaches, that mortal sin, because it is an insult offered to an infinite God, contains a certain infinitude of malice. “A sin committed against God has a certain infinitude, on account of the infinitude of the Divine Majesty.” (S. Thom., 3 p., q. 1, art. 2, ad. 2.) Is mortal sin a small evil? It is so great an evil, that if all the angels and all the saints, the apostles, martyrs, and even the Mother of God, offered all their merits to atone for a single mortal sin, the oblation would not be sufficient. No; for that atonement or satisfaction would be finite; but the debt contracted by mortal sin is infinite, on account of the infinite Majesty of God which has been offended.
