I am glad to see this. May his prayers change the stance of the Church on homosexuality and lead to mercy for Theodore McCarrick.

Agreed. The Church should not trade its hierarchism for the authoritarianism inherent in Capitalism. This does not mean that it is not in need of a new governance model. We need to move from mediaeval structures to Democratic ones.

Sadly, the neo-conservatives that support Israel against Palestinians and play the anti-Semitic card against those of us who don't are the biggest obstacle to peace. AIPAC is a Get Out The Vote PAC. That influence is how it keeps people in line.

The Church cannot play the ministry card against its employees and Catholics must insist they rethink their homophobia in recognizing marriages generally and in ordination. It is time for sexual hellenism to be purged from the Church.

Mueller is about to unredact his court filings within a few weeks. Trump won't be in the mix after that. As for the Senator, there is also the Maddow interview.

Even after the Kavanaugh dissent, Roe is still dead and President Pelosi is about to bury it.

Workers must be made owners and nobody else.
