Links for 06/20/16 | National Catholic Reporterby MSW. MGB: Cancelling the meeting with bondholders is not a bad thing if it puts pressure on the Senate to pass the House bill. If the Governor wanted to meet with bondholders, it would happen, so maybe some of the bondholders are having second thoughts. Cancelling the meeting is appropriate hardball.
I swear that bluster form idiots like Trump probably ruin more good intelligence operations, if only because the FBI Director has to make clarifications to stop mob violence by Trump's little fascists.
There is a new conservatism and it is all Donald Trump and his reactionary supporters (with their reactionary party). Conservatism is about slow change. The new conservatism is Clinton, not anyone in the GOP. I disagree that the party of the soul must be center-right. The center-left or the extreme left is a good place for it. As for rituals Thanksgiving dinner, the modern version is a recent creation - just as Christmas is (the latter was traditionally a Bachanalia, even in Christian times.

Hats off to Bishop Estev for representing and for saying the word gay. Lets hope the drum beat shuts up the people who believe their own circular reasoning on sexuality so they can start dealing with the real world. And kudos for going after the guns.
Cupich is correct and that lessening hatefulness helped give rise to the gay marriage movement and the reaction by Cardinal Ratzinger, also of the CDF, that gays are disordered (without pointing out that the natural order is a philsophical construct - it does not really exist - if you disagree, point to it - Heaven, Hell, Heck, the mind of God (can't be that because then God could be damaged) - only in the minds of the CDF and its adherents does it live).
