Links for 07/10/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: It is a pity that COO Bohlen of the Chicago Archdiocese does not have the collar of a lay deacon (can remarry and can be a woman) - and that such lay deacons are not running the administrative aspects of every parish. She should be the rule, not the exception.
I would not put the Greek issue into Orthodox v. Augustinian moral views on charity v. punishment. Its a matter of whether Europe wants to have sovereign nations with a single currency or whether it is time to drop the rock and burn the Mastrecht treaty - replacing it with either nothing or a more American style constitution, including retaining the Euro and establishing a single debt holding all member debts and a continent wide income tax to service it and pay it back. Of course, if that is too sound, the American Treasury and Federal Reserve will start feeling the pinch of competition.
Iran is never going to nuke Israel and everyone knows it - although the Israeli regime and the Republicans like to tease people that it is. There are too many Arabs in and around Israel to make that more than the worst nonsense. Iran should have some nuclear power capability, since they know that peak oil is going to get them first and they don't want to contribute to global warming even more than they have in the past. Not only should we end sanctions, we should give them a Pope Francis environmentalism prize.
