Links for 02/01/16 | National Catholic Reporter

Links for 02/01/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The politicization of the Church predates Francis by a long way, including the suppression of liberation theology and the one man orthodoxy team named Rigali back in that era.  Of course, one can always look back from there - all the way to the Book of Revelation - which was a reaction to the Council at Jerusalem and the whole Judasization controversy in the early Church.



I don't think reactionaries start off being reactionary - it is when people demand change that the cultural wars start - although the resistance to change by reactionaries is certainly the reason it happens.



I fully expect HRC, if elected, to have Treasury Secretary from Goldmann-Sachs.  If I thought she would make Elizabeth Warren the Treasury Secretary, I might not be voting for Jill Stein if Bernie loses.  The other key post in this is the Attorney General, who can also obstruct prosecutions - or pursue them.  Elliot Abrams, scandals or not, comes to mind.
