		<description><![CDATA[I was dropping off a bag of stuff at Goodwill, and another car pulled up behind me. An older lady got out with one very pretty blue sweater in her hands. She gave it a once-over and started towards the drop-off. When she approached me, she held the sweater up. &#8220;Do you need a sweater? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an article circulating from Psychology Today about Why French Kids Don&#8217;t have ADHD by Marilyn Wedge, Ph.D. With a few exceptions, the &#8220;share&#8221; comes with a comment like &#8220;Americans always want the quick fix&#8221; or &#8220;Parents should learn to say no.&#8221;  I agree with both of those statements in general.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not in vogue to talk about abstinence, for the reasons Calah outlined so well&#8211;that the term has been hijacked so that it means different things to different people, and to most people it has a very negative connotation. We live in a culture that doesn&#8217;t want to tell anyone no. And as Catholics, we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Elizabeth Smart&#8217;s criticism of abstinence-only sex education has set off a firestorm of commentary about purity culture, and how Catholics in particular should think about sex-ed. Calah Alexander has written an impassioned plea to do away with metaphors that imply someone is used up once they&#8217;ve had sex: &#8220;If you had sex before marriage, it [...]]]></description>
