Links for 03/25/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Bravo to Archbishop Gomez on his sermon on Romero, who I bet will be canonized soon.



New York has its fair share of Republicans and conservative Democrats, the late term abortion protection measure had no chance - and indeed this particular issue should be federal policy - and by federal I mean congression (with filibuster in place so something real is passed that deals with this issue once and for all - which the pro-life movement could not stand, as there is no money in a settled issue).



The President's Chief of Staff should never be making policy statements at all.  Do I agree with him, however?  Partially. I think he is naive (not sure about the President - who if in the loop won't fire him) if he expects the demilitarizaiton of a Palestinian state.  The IDF is not going anywhere unless there is a one state solution, although then Palestinians could buy the old farm back or at least sue for it.  Expect the entire place to be more of a police state than it already is.  Kharma is a bitch.  Real Kharma will be the other 10 tribes, Catholics of Samaritan descent all, demanding their rights and recognizing the Palestinians as brothers. Now THAT will be messy.  Back to the CoS, Obama won't fire him and if he does he will be said to be leaving voluntarily (even if Barack put him up to the speech).  Unless Jarrett and Axelrod say he should go, he will stay.
