Links: Bishops' Eucharist document; a pro-family president; racial divides in housing 

Cupich is in union with Rome. Certain bishops do not seem to be. We do need a Eucharistic revival which opens up the Communion line to all of the baptized. What some of the bishops consider sacrilege ignores the fact that mere humans cannot hurt God. They seem to think themselves essential to the ticking of the clock of creation. They are not.

Some people go to rallies for the personal historic value of seeing a president. Without that, the Birch/Tea Party/MAGA coalition is billionaire money buying the fringes of astroturf.

The bishops need to forget their alliance (allegiance?) to the GOP and insist that the childcare and child tax credits be considered must-pass pro-life legislation.

Racial separation of neighborhoods and schools are about who children are allowed to befriend and date. Racism is a multi-generational disease that can be stopped at any time. This is why the 60s were so scary to the racists. Catholic schools enabled this fear more than White liberals.

One or two trans advocates (yes, pre-op trans men can have babies) will not put Trump back in the White House. If he is even alive, he will be a convicted felon for bribery and sedition, which disqualify one from office without a 2/3rds exemption from both houses of Congress.

The stupid thing about recalls is that they select the new governor in the same election. The office of Lieutenant Governor exists for just this purpose, provided that they are not elected as a ticket. Even if the LG is simply acting until a subsequent election, such election should be fully primaried. Larry Elder could never be the GOP nominee in a normal election.

Science how to reverse the process that limits the life of genetic material (although it cannot create new Ova). Therapies have not yet been approved, but Bezos is not wrong to invest. The moral question is that if we can reverse aging, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and the common COVID, how do people who want to get off the treadmill of life do so? One can be very much related to God without dying if one is willing to participate in Her humility. If Jeff started marketing theological opinions on God and eternity, he would be going to far. Be careful of what you wish for.
