Links for 02/10/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I was not aware that there were any modernist ecclesial structures in the Roman Church in the DC area. Pity that, as if the bishops continue to take political positions on our behalf, we either need to be electing them or they should at least ask us what we think and why. Some of the embarrassing gaffs on abortion, contraception and gay marriage might have been avoided.
The value of poetry, the criticism of it and of aesthetic issues as a whole is that there are no real right answers. You find your tribe. That means if you like Sci-Fi, you marry someone who likes it to, or at least tolerates it (the latter condition being necessary because it is a mostly male avocation - although those who have it are the Alpha Males of the future - an evolutionary conundrum).
Iowa Evangelicals, who are very conservative, are very different from New England Evangelicals, who are liberal congregationalists - like my ancestors. Indeed, I am sure many of them are related to me in some form. Not a lot of Pentecostals, which is what you will find in Iowa.
Relatives once rented Union Station for a Bat Mitzvah, which is the opposite of renting out a Cathedral. Sadly, the rent is likely necessary to keep the lights and heat on, although I hope this does not happen at Catholic Cathedrals.
