Ugh, class. Again. Ok forget the fact that she doesn't know anything about the Albigensian heresy, and that she doesn't realize that the formation of the Dominicans was probably one of the most pivotal events in history I can think of (not that I'm biased or anything) - no, setting all that aside, she's just mean. And insulted me. I can't take this anymore. I nearly lost it last week when she was saying that she is a feminist, and a lot of times the people most surprised by her ideas are other women. And this is because they have been submitting to the oppressive male hierarchy for so long they don't realize they're being dominated. And I raise my hand and say, "Look here, I am offended that you think that women who listen to the Church are being blindly dominated" and she said that that is how most women respond, and then I told her very clearly and firmly that I have read the Church's documents, educated myself, and I believe what I believe because I believe it, not because I'm being forced by anybody. I believe it because it's Truth. And then she says something like "Yes, well, you would" and we end the conversation because I am about ready to either explode or pounce on her. So I put my head down and seethe. Anyway, I've just about had it. Why is it that people who wave the "I'm an accepting open-minded person" banner over their heads can be the most narrow-minded cruel people I've ever encountered? How difficult they make charity. Anyway, no more wasting virtual breath on her. I just had to express my frustration...again.
That is the worst class ever.

So on a much happier note: the new Harry Potter movie comes out in 10 days. :) Yay.

Anyway, time to get to working. And watching "Sister Act". I know it's a ridiculous and inaccurate movie, but gosh, it is fun. :)

Caritas et veritas.

Comments:
Ever notice how "accepting, open-minded" people somehow get judgmental and close-minded whenever they come across a belief system which insists there is such a thing as objective Truth? It's so interesting;)
