Links for 01/05/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I guess it is just irony that Bishop Barron's column recirculated when it did (unless the Chancery is lying because someone noticed). I have never thought to reprint a column based on random number generation, but I guess that would save work when I don't feel like writing, not that readers would notice. Still, I at least like to keep it topical and am glad for dialogue - although the worst impediment to dialogue is not a slated response, it is ignoring what the other person has to say - especially when the point they make is uncomfortably closer to the truth than you would like.
The Sister Carol "Dear Abby" link does not work.
The Luttrell is not specifically anti-Obama, although I can see how some could take it that way. There is enough wiggle room in the language to make it seem he is really talkingn about civilian militia who would respond with violence to any armed invasion by ISIL or its agents. Of course, you don't need a gun to resist. Ask anyone who has tackled a terrorist trying to light a shoe or his underwear on an international flight. Once Americans are faced with a real threat they act without orders. Its what makes this country great. Of course, if he intentds to make this about Obama, he's simply going to lose, since Barack is from the same pilgrim stock as any other American patriot.
