MGB: All Saints day is supposed to mark not only our future sainthood, but our current membership in the body of Christ, with no part of the body being more or less important than the other parts. Recovering Catholics, like Rosie Perez, do not disagree on Dogma. Rather, it is the sexism and flawed sexual teachings that they find particularly upsetting. They should because they are not based on Natural Law, at least as far as non-asexuals are concerned. God is not the Ogre many in the Church make Him out to be, from St. Anselm to St. John Paul.
Fox News walked back the Smallpox part, but left in play the rest with the caveat "that some believe," which is what they say when they are caught lying. The Hope Border Institute has the facts, although they are apparent from any real news program. Working Class Perspectives reveals that the families of crime victims are also smarter than Fox News and their ilk in the White House.
There are divides in the Democratic Party based on race, gender issues and economic status. When the GOP finishes blowing itself up, the Wall Street Democrats and Republicans will find common cause, with the rest of us adopting a more radical path. How the other divides play out in this context is anyone's guess. I suspect that they will break by age, although the Black Church may go ahead and break bread with those who focus on pelvic issues.
