MGB: May bishop Hunthausen rest in peace. As a witness to the resurrection (apostle), he knows that his Savior lives and he in him.

I agree that there should be consistency about union busting and it should include the Church and its efforts to stay away from unions for its own workforce.

Moderates may be swayed by immigrant children, but hard core Trump supporters will see mass deportation as a virtue rather than the intrinsic evil that Vatican II says it is. News flash from the FBI, the obstruction of justice committed by not letting asylum applicants get a hearing is being investigated and will likely lead to indictments, from the Border Patrol to the White House.

One does not need an Encyclical to condemn incest, although among adults with step relationships the use of the term may be a stretch. Just ask Woody Allen. The sinfulness or lack thereof of relations between unrelated adults in a created relationship is culturally bound, not a matter of ethics. Did you skip class in undergrad when they explained that, Michael?

ABBA has a song about money and it does drive elections. The question we need to ask is how it drives policy, whether it be the Pro-Life movement, NARAL, defense contracting or the Koch brothers and their Tea Party organization.

We have a political infrastructure that will keep Trump from being President for Life. Sadly, Zimbabwe has an infrastructure to support one. Sadly, they will be working overtime to keep that movement going. Moderation is doubtful.
