Links for 02/03/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I do not believe in doctrine by press release or speech, however the remarks to Italian farmers serve as a cautionary note to the disloyal opposition that the Pope is serious about both poverty and the environment. There is even hope for Georgists.
Ms. Mullarkey in the inaptly named Federalist (the Confederate would be truer) suggests it may be time for a loyal opposition - funny how those of us on the left were called the disloyal opposition by some bishops and popes. Not sure why the Federalist Society cares unless they are being paid to do so. If so, they are less serious than I thought they were.
Boehner seems to be trying to sound Catholic for a change. I would give no one a Profile in Courage Award over immigration reform. Nothing was going to pass the last or this Congress - and certainly not the House with the Hastert rule in place. The Senate should have passed something without sanctions and let the fight take place there. Frankly, I can see why the Latinos stayed home if our main olive branch was that bill.
