I am 17 years old and I have been raised in a single parent home since I was 12.Is it difficult emotionally, mentally, and financially? Of course, it's extremely hard! But does that mean that my mom should be working full time to support us? In my opinion, my answer is a resounding no! Why? Although having a higher income would make life significantly easier, I don't believe it would necessarily make the quality of life at home better. My mother works part time because she has to pay the bills but we have to make enormous sacrifices so that she is able to only work part time. We have to live without many of life's luxuries, but it is a price we are willing to pay because no amount of money can replace the nurturing presence of a mother in a home. Although there are certain times when it is necessary for a mother to work, I believe it is our duty as women to ensure that we put our children's needs before financial needs.

I definitely agree that the church is way more than just the Pope. Like the article states, “Christians believe that it is God who ultimately guides worldly affairs, a claim the secular media simply dismiss.” Is it just the pope that Catholics believe in? No. They believe that God is superior and he guides and leads the Pope to do what is right for the church. The media should not be so concerned on whether or not the Pope will lead the church to prosperity or disaster, because it is ultimately the people’s personal standing with God that will determine that.  We should be more concerned how the individual people of the church will lead the church not just one man- the Pope.
