Links for 03/12/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I love the fact that the Archbishop could still take down a Catholic congressman. We need more of that. As for the discharge petition, its dead and should be - that bill was way too punitive and sending it over was not about getting it passed, but about embarrassing the right wing. It backfired on the Democrats who don't have a really good defense to going along with punitive measures, even to get compromise. Maybe this will teach Latino voters that elections are a horse race and they need to enter, not wait until everything is the way they want it, in order to vote their approval.
I like my Cardinal's implict takedown of Cardinal Burke, although I disagree about always following Peter. We must always follow Christ. Peter can make mistakes - see Humanae Vitae - which got some things right and some wrong. Inserting itself into our marriages was insulting and the emryology was good junior high science - but not even good high school biology.
The problem is not the size of the bonuses, its what the Wall Street folks do to workers to get them. The problem is capitalism, not just the financial markets.
God Bless Sister Mary Ann. May he bring her gently to the next part of her journey.
