Links for 10/23/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The fiftieth anniversary of Nostra Aetete is a time to remember that it was long overdue and that it was likely inevitable when early Christians at the Council at Jersulem decided not to Judaize Christianity. Anti-Semitism is really consigned to the fringes, which are noticeable because they are rare. As any European about the Gypsy problem, however, and there is no memory of the Porojmos, which is our Holocaust and for which there were not survivors. Not endorsing Zionism in its most extreme settler incarnations, by the way, is not anti-semitism.
The proof texting about Communion is in the same league as the proof texting about marriage (which appears to be about setting the new mariage up as its own family, with the parents of either partner having no say in it once it is done - the same truth is obvious in gay marriage). I am all for mercy as a key part of Christianity, the greatest mercy being that Christ on the cross shared the abandonment that the sinner feels in those dark moments - after which he said "I thirst" and pointed the way to the Blood of Christ as the source of healing.
Nothing Rubio does to pander to the primary electorate surprises me, nor Trump, nor Carson. However is the GOP going to field a candidate? It seems like Kasich is the only sane one.
I am glad to see that MSW is at least showing the Bern, even if he isn't feeling it. I hope the Senator can do something now, as its a long time until 2017.
