MGB:_God is the only Truth. Dogma helps us get to God, but it is not God. It is also concerned with the things of belief, not the things of reason and natural law. Dogmatic claims must never be made in an area where reason alone can do the job.

Bishop Gregory is a man of peace. He is one of those people who, when you meet him, he is totally present to you, as I had the opporunity to do just before he became USCCB President. He is a friend of my (ex) wife. She got the bishops in the divorce.
Until immigration is taken up by the Office of Pro-life Activities and immigration legislation is scored that way, this is a nice press release.
The Resurrection is the only essential belief. Everything else is philosophy. The Virgin birth, however is essential to get into how Jesus thought of himself and why he reached a state of abandonment on the Cross, so I would not cast it out so quickly. While not denouncing abortion, there are two instances in the Gospel where the abortion procedure for determining adultery was not used to then stone the woman. The first was when Joseph found Mary pregnant and the second was when Jesus wrote in the sand in front of the accusers of the adulterous woman. He did not denounce the practice, but he witnessed to it not being mandatory either.
Puerto Rico does not want statehood, but it is often thought of as being paired with the District of Columbia, which does want it and deserves it.
