Links for 05/18/16 | National Catholic Reporter

Links for 05/18/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Interestingly, Henry George and his followers objected to Rerum Novarum - they wanted all land taxed instead and did not like unions because they see it as a form of privilege.  Of course, the unions liked the mention, but ignored at prohibition on striking - and with good effect.  The encyclicals that follow from it have been very good and more universal than teachings on sex - so universal that Senator Sanders could be invited and give a speech worthy of a theologian on these topics.  Leo felt the Bern before the Bern was born.  Of course, the source of all of this is the Gospel, which is considerably older than 125 years.



Ferguson is only dangerous to cops who want to act out.  Oakland has its bad neighborhoods that I would not visit without an escort by a local who knows which colors to wear in particular pleces.



Much of the entire state of Florida will likely be lost to warming.  Of course, the right wingers will blame legal gay marriage and Obama rather than global warming.
