Links for 08/20/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Bishop Flores use of the Newman quote justifying thinking outside the box is just what the Church needs, including and especially in the are of families. Gives me high hopes for the second Synod on the Family.
I always thought the Cathedral at Galway would be a good Seat for a Galatian Patriarch for the English and Gaelic speaking world. Now that would be Orthodox, resurrecting the old Galatian Church. How long do you think such a Church would take to ordain women? I suspect not long, including ordaining a Matriarch. You want an authoritative voice on life? Make it female.
People misunderstand the RFRA. It is supposed to be a safety valve against state governments restricting the religious freedom of individuals to practice. Making it an ethical check against civil rights of others should not be part of the deal. It should not be repealed, but it should be clarified - else it is the foot in the door for religious power, not religious freedom.
