Links for 04/25/17

Links for 04/25/17: Bishop Danny Flores of Brownsville, Texas, issued a short but incisive pastoral letter at Easter. Flores is continually linking our dogmatic claims about Jesus with our social teachings, which is so i...

MGB:_Bishop Flores certainly tied in the social concerns of his flock. It is well done but not overpowering. Nothing about religious liberty.

Mike Stafford challenges our wealth and reminds us that it is the product of stealing from the poor (so much for the view that taxation is theft).

Gerson talks about our political silos (Cracker Barrell v. Crate and Barrell) and the media’s place in maintaining them. He thought Trump once offered hope for unity. Are you kidding me?
