Links for 08/31/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Trump will be no third party figure, any more than Sanders will be. Both learned the lesson of Nader and Perot and will try to win their party nomination. Whether Trump is mentally well enough to do so is an open question, but a concerted effort to go after him by the leadership OR his victory will ruin the GOP.
OSV and MSW may or may not be overstating the impact on the Latino Church of a papal visit. The question is whether they will take their share of ownership in thei home parishes as a result. Whether this is the main theme depends on what he says about Family issues and the economy. While Francis won't endorse Sanders, they may be talking the same language.
Modernists are not necessarily iconoclasts. Indeed, it is the smart Marxist that claims religious belief. There is little surprise that the grand son of Turin, where the shroud is kept, would have a fondness for relics. We modernists simply won't admit that all ritual and relic is the property of the Trads, who we still suspect of power holding not for the Church's sake, but their own. I have always said nothing would be more apt than a Tridentine gay wedding.
