Links for 05/17/16 | National Catholic Reporter

Links for 05/17/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I am not at all surprised that Verizon is offshoring as much as possible (Marx predicts such labor flows) or that the U is trying to limit that in the contract.  Of course, until the U. actually starts accumulating massive telecom shares (and is allowed to do so by repealing Taft-Hartley), this struggle will go on.



Keystone Pipeline and the filth it moved was always a function of oil prices that were artificially high, with some government consent.  Dodd-Frank stopped the artificial floors in the market and Keystone is gone (except where it keeps prices up to run). Of course, a union owned energy company is still an energy company, but such things could transition to fusion, which is still big industrial.



I wonder to what extent the rise in ordinations, which is not enough for demand, corresponds to a lessening emphasis on weeding out gay seminarians?  I wonder what gay marriage (and private priestly blessing of it) will do to these numbers?  Of course, we could still have gay married priests, but then the heteros would want it to - and their wifes and the lesbians.  The question is not if but when.
