On the 10 commandments I think you are wrong, I vaguely remember in several places Christ saying He has not come to replace the old law and He says to a guy that if he follows the 10 commandments then he is a good person.
I am not wrong. Jesus doesn't "replace" the ten commandments: he supersedes them. If you love God and your neighbor, you will by default obey the ten commandments, and more. Regarding the guy who followed the ten commandments, are you talking about the man who left sad after being told "sell all you own, give it to the poor and follow me"? Here's the ever excellent Fulton Sheen explaining the point I was making and mentioning the case you brought up. I assure you it's a great listen:
For people who want a refresh of Catholic axioms:

An "extremist" of said philosophy of life is a saint. That's a good thing to be.
Feminism and women's vote only caught on because the men of old kept whoring and drinking while their wives had no recourse. Feminism is just women wanting to sink as low as men do. Not saying "no" to women isn't the root cause of the societal troubles of today.
The issue at the bottom is that people want to be free to do as they please, instead of wanting to be free to do what they ought to. I don't think the root problem will be fixed in this world.
I almost went with induction. Induction is a newer technology, more common in Europe, purely electric and based on magnetism, but I didn't like how it performed when I tried it out
Can you elaborate? I am close to buying one myself.
Why assume it wasn't for his benefit?
