    Welcome to paragraphs 225-235 of Fratelli Tutti! Kat and Liz discuss knowing authentic history for adults (which lasts no time at all, since #homeschoolers), whether cancel culture and divorce culture are related, and how none of the fruits of the spirit are feelings.

  • Recovering Kindness

    Paragraphs 215-223 of Fratelli Tutti today! We discuss encountering others in children's education (we're sorry but homeschooling is totally our thing, okay!), ESL, and authentic kindness, and what that looks like in the boy children. 

    We chatted about these resources: 

    www.teacherspayteachers.com

    https://native-land.ca/ <- A map to help you identify which native people group lived where you live now! 

    Lessons from Turtle Island: Native Curriculum in Early Childhood Classrooms 

    Heritagemom.com <- Black literature and history for kids, a Liz Favorite

    A Broken Flute <- Get your library to buy this book! It's a great reference, but very expensive for the average budget. 

    Charlotte Mason's Series <- read the 20 principles and Home Education for stuff on kindness/habits.

  • Episode 18: Social Love

    Welcome back to For Pete's Sake.  Today we will be going through Chapter 5 : 170-185.

    Now after setting the stage with what populism has done to our political atmosphere, Pope Francis is going to talk in a little more detail, especially on an international level, what changes need to take place.  It is not a complete economic blueprint, but a better lens of what kind of political change is going to need to look through.  Once again we are brought back to solidarism and subsidiary rhetoric and the notion of Catholic Distributism.

  • Owning Your Own Richness

    Read Fratelli Tutti along with us here, as we read paragraphs 142-153. 

    What is your culture? Does it come from your race/ethinicity? Your faith? What part of American culture do you participate in, consciously or unconsciously? What parts of the culture you are born to do you reject? Do you love sharing your culture or is it something private you'd rather share with only close friends?
