Links for 05/27/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: If wolves can change their environment in such a short time, how is man doing so such a surprise to some people?
That Hamas acted with even more impunity during a time of war is no surprise either. The shame is the way Israel responded, using lethal force to retaliate against glorified fireworks. You had to be really unlike to die on the Israeli side. It seems that you also had to be really unlucky to be born in Gaza. Turning it back into part Israel proper invites the settlers back in to take the best stuff. Indenence or the strip is about as stupid as indendence for Rholde Island or Israel. Give it to Egypt. Unless these peoople can trace back to Philistine or Samaritan ancestry, Egypt is the best host for it.
ACLI was an alterative to the rise of the Italian Communist Party. That a Pope with possible links to liberation theology is celebrating its anniversary provides a little note of irony.
The Jansenist strain in Ireland is bad enough, but its mixture with triumphalism is deadly to the future of the Church as we know it there. Its death is not a bad thing, something better will grow if we trust the Lord and quite worrying about how both singles and gays get a little harmless release. If that last part made you nervous, you have work to do on your own Janseist demons, same as the Church as a whole over how it looks at unitive sex and birth control. Attacking Jansenism on gay marriage and not attacking it on birth control is yielding turf without surrendering. Its time to surrender.
