Links for 06/29/17: Buona festa a tutti! As we are are Roman Catholics, this feast day belongs to all of us. Two special shout outs to the good people at Sts. Peter & Paul Church in Omaha, Nebraska, who celebrate the...
MGB:_Look for Cardinal Sean to be named Latin Patriarch of the North American English speaking Church. Then 75 is no barrier.
The only ways out of the violence are to provide guaranteed income for each child and a higher minimum wage for work or education, get the guns out of the nearby suburbs, retrain the police and for Illinois to legalize pot. Ministry will help, but there are systemic problems. The Church needs to get more political on all of them.
On Trinity, I don't tweet or read tweets very often. They will rarely help you.
SPLC and associated firms are in the vanguard against Trumpism and the white nationalism that has plagued us since Obama's nomination caught the right-wing hate machine off guard. Don't shoot the messenger when it is the GOP that became corrupt.
Democrats for Life act like the term "oppose abortion" is somehow innocuous. Like the usual Republican anti-abortionists, they rarely say what "oppose abortion" means. Do they want to criminalize it? If so, how? Do they want federal supremacy in equal protection and due process cases overturned so that states decide these matters, including gay marriage, legal sodomy, contraception and the rights of Catholics in the south or Latinos not to be considered whites and therefore without protection? Do they want Congress to decide the issue of when personhood begins and if so, when? If they succeed, will only abortions be punished or, in like all contract killings, women too? Are they willing to forestall criminalization and instead seek adequate incomes for parents with children (adequate according to USDA is $1000 per child per month) through tax credits? How they answer these questions determines whether the platform changes. Being vague does not.
