Links for 10/20/15 (b) | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I don't see a world where Rubio is the nominee except as performance art. He is simply outclassed by both Cruz and Bush - even if he is ahead of them in the polls. I don't see him winning Iowa, New Hampshire or New York. We will see who is real once the votes start being counted.
Hof hits the nail on the bed better than Berkowitz, but remember that the Arab Spring was not Obama's idea. That came from a Google VP who thought social media mattered more than ammunition.
The Democrats real problem is that it can't keep its campus volunteers fired up to work in off-years. That has always been the case. The way forward Yglesias points out for the GOP are idiotic. The reality is that old Republicans are dying and Simpson-Misoli voters and their kids will become a majority of voters in the Southwest and the South because of it. The reality is that the Clinton and Sanders wings of the Democratic Party are more likely to be the major parities of the future while the GOP slithers away - and neither party will politicize abortion - which is not a political issue in terms of possible policy changes leading to changed outcomes. While some teachers are being fired, it won't be for long and their grass roots belief in abortion rights and the insanity (and fraud) of trying to ban it won't change.
Archbishop Aquilla is making a simplistic point. The Vatican acted stupidly in not annulling a marriage which was based on a dispensation for incest. This was all about playing favorites between Spain and England - and More died not because he was an outspoken defender of traditional marriage but because he felt the King should not be able to compel his belief. The Archbishop should realize that those who wish Communion have the same desire, with himself playing the role of Henry.
