Straight Guy with the Catholic Eye: Is it morally licit to vote for the 'lesser evil'?
By Matt Abbott
I recently received an e-mail in response to a commentary of mine that was posted in May, titled ��Catholic� John Kerry�s �Seamless Garment�� (see www.catholic.org/featured/headline.php?ID=945).
The response was directed at this paragraph in particular:
�Now I realize that President Bush is far from perfect. But he is the better of the two. The �lesser evil,� if you will. Should a faithful Catholic vote for the �lesser evil�? Is it always wise to do so? That's debatable. Such a vote, though, is in accord with Catholic teaching.�
After a few brief yet courteous exchanges, I received a very thoughtful and pointed "final response."
The following is the text of that e-mail, sent to me by Marcus Thompson and Janet Thompson, MA, of the Fides Foundation (www.fidesfoundation.org):
�Thank you again.
�If we are to rely exclusively on Section 73 of [Pope John Paul II's encyclical) Evangelium Vitae for Magisterial teaching on the topic of voting for political candidates who espouse abortion in some instances (the most common being rape, incest, and 'the life of the mother'), we would need to expand its scope to encompass the voter as well as the politician.
�Certainly, if the Holy Father had intended for us to do this, would he not have expressly stated that such application was indeed appropriate? Surely he is fully aware of the gravity of the present matter; and would have had no compunction about engaging the topic cogently and explicitly. It would have been well out of character for him to have omitted such a salient point from his teaching if, indeed, he had intended for it to be engaged in such manner.
"In any event, the Church seems to have never explicitly weighed in on the topic; there is no Magisterial teaching which will expressly support the actions of a voting populace that perpetuates a dominant paradigm which equivocates on the application of the Fifth Commandment, 'You shall not kill.' Therefore, absent such explicit Magisterial teaching on the topic, we must take recourse directly to the Commandment itself, and all that it implies for us under the circumstances. As we all know, no degree of sin is allowable under the Commandment. Our individual opinions and interpretations are completely irrelevant.
"Irrespective of who we are, to authoritatively represent 'the lesser of two evils' viewpoint as 'Church teaching' in this matter is to assert oneself over the Holy See; and is to effectively misrepresent the authentic teaching of Section 73 of Evangelium Vitae to an already confused faithful.
�The central substance of this topic reminds one of a quote from Catholic intellectual Edmund Burke: 'The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.' Notice that the writer does not say '...(not) do whatever seems good under the conditions,' but '...nothing.' Indeed, he was not pointing us to innovation or compromise; rather to recourse to our spiritual duties in fidelity to Christ and His Church under any given circumstance.
�We can learn a lot from the Saints in this regard. Even when confronted with the possibility of martyrdom, their fidelity consistently remained to Christ and the Magesterium. In some instances, these people had the sick, the poor, orphans, or other mortally-dependent charges in their care. Yet, not one gave in to sin for the purpose of saving themselves that those in their charge would be looked after. And, surely, in some instances this meant that those entrusted to them by God suffered death as a consequence.
�Again, we call these people Saints.
�So truly, what are we to do in situations where the degree of evil is to be measured by circumstances which surround all seemingly reasonable action? Think outside the box. Pray fervently for the Mercy of the Holy Spirit to be on all who participate in the evil at hand; that they may instead follow the Good Shepherd to His pastures of truth and moral clarity.
�There are countless millions of us Catholics in this country. If our esteemed leaders were doing their jobs and forming our brethren rightly and in accord with the authentic teachings of the Church, the culture of death itself would never have emerged in the first place. We would not be having this correspondence.
�So, indeed, we should pray for them most earnestly, and do whatever we can -- no matter how small -- to bring the Light of Christ to our brothers and sisters in this age of darkness. This is our responsibility before God.
�It is trite, but this statement just seems to fit:
�WWJD � What would Jesus do?�
Thoughts, anyone?

Posted April 03, 2013 on AP on Fox
Pac-12 Player of the Year and leading scorer Allen Crabbe will forego his senior season at California and enter this summer's NBA Draft. Crabbe announced through Cal on Wednesday that he would declare for the draft, a long-expected move by the junior guard. Crabbe, the conference freshman of the year in 2011, ranks 10th on the school's career scoring list with 1,537 points in 98 games. Cal lost to fourth-seeded Syracuse 66-60 to miss a chance at the NCAA tournament's round of 16. Crabbe was held to eight points on 3-for-9 shooting in his final game for the Golden Bears, who finished the season 21-12. He averaged 18.6 points and six rebounds per game. An honorable mention All-America selection, Crabbe's 15.7 career scoring average is 12th all-time at Cal.

We will be taking our first cruise on the Disney Magic in May 2012. We have twins that will have just turned 4. What are the sleeping arragements like?
- Asked by Ann from Ohio on 6/29/2011
Hi, Ann!
Congratulations on your first cruise next spring aboard the Disney Magic to the Bahamas -- you've picked a great vacation for your family!
As far as the sleeping arrangements in your stateroom, it really is going to depend upon which stateroom category you booked. Most staterooms feature a queen-sized bed with a single convertible sofa. Since you may have more than three in your room, you will probably have an upper berth, pull-down bed, too. Of course, the better category you have booked -- the larger the room and the better the view. You can
Compare Staterooms
to see what you have versus all the types of floor plans for staterooms available on the Disney Magic.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. Have a wonderful day and a magical vacation. Bon voyage!

The first major winter weather system of the year is sweeping across the northern Central Flyway, bringing high hopes that the main waterfowl migration is on its way. Early migrants, such as teal, pintails,and gadwall, are abundant throughout much of central and southern Texas, and these species will likely provide most of the action as the 2014-2015 waterfowl season opens this weekend.

"The Mercedes C-Class is classier, more comfortable and even cheaper to run than before."
Think of the new Mercedes C-Class as a mini version of the top-of-the-range Mercedes S-Class and you'll not go far wrong. Mercedes has given the car a luxurious interior, lots of clever equipment, and a choice of petrol or diesel engines. As a small executive saloon, the C-Class competes with models such as the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Lexus IS.
Right now, the C-Class can be fitted with a choice of one 2.0-litre petrol engine or two 2.1-litre diesels badged C220 BlueTEC and the more powerful C250 BlueTEC. The diesels have excellent fuel economy, but are also quite noisy. The range will soon be joined by a petrol-electric hybrid and a super-frugal C350 Plug-In Hybrid. For the first time in the UK, buyers can also opt for four-wheel drive.
The new Mercedes C-Class can be specified in three trims – SE, Sport, and AMG Line. All models come with alloy wheels, synthetic leather interior, dual-zone climate control, auto headlights and wipers, cruise control and a seven-inch colour display.
Find out what we think is the best compact executive car by watching our video below.
MPG, running costs & CO2
Fuel economy is up by 20 per cent across the Mercedes C-Class range
The C220 BlueTEC is the most economical Mercedes C-Class on sale today. When mated with the six-speed manual gearbox (you can also choose a seven-speed automatic) it can return 70.6mpg. CO2 emissions are also very low and the car's 103g/km rating means that road tax is just £20 a year. The car also has a low 16 per cent BiK (Benefit in Kind) rating that makes it very attractive to company car drivers.
The C250 BlueTEC is faster, yet still manages 65mpg and emissions of 123g/km for road tax that's £110 every year after. The C200 petrol achieves exactly the same CO2 emissions, so costs the same to tax, and returns 53.3mpg.
By the end of 2014 the Mercedes will be available with an even more economical C200 diesel and the fast C300 diesel-electric hybrid, which will deliver up to 72mpg. But the really interesting engine will be the new C350 Plug-In Hybrid, which will return more than 100mpg and emit less than 65g/km of CO2.
Insurance for the Mercedes C-Class runs from group 29 in the C200 petrol to group 34 in the C250 diesel.
Engines, drive & performance
The Mercedes C-Class is quick and economical, with a plug-in version promising 100mpg from 2015
Mercedes has managed to make the C-Class 100kg lighter than the old model. As a result, it now feels more agile in the corners and more enjoyable to drive. Drivers can also choose between four modes - Comfort, Eco, Sport and Sport+. They make the car more comfortable or sportier to drive, depending on your mood.
For now all the engines are closely matched in terms of performance. Quickest is the C250 BlueTEC diesel that can get from 0-62mph in just 6.6 seconds, while the C220 BlueTEC diesel does it in 7.7 seconds. Go for the C200 petrol and 0-62 mph takes 7.5 seconds. Fitting your C-Class with the seven-speed automatic gearbox also makes it slightly quicker.
A slightly cleaner, slightly more economical C200 BlueTEC diesel will join the range before the end of 2014, along with a C300 BlueTEC diesel-electric hybrid. A C350 Plug-In Hybrid is due to set new benchmark economy figures when it goes on sale in 2015, boasting sub 65g/km CO2 emissions and an electric-only range of more than 20 miles.
A performance orientated Mercedes C63 AMG model is also planned, which will give the C-Class near-supercar performance.
Interior & comfort
The interior of the Mercedes C-Class is relaxing and quiet, but the diesel engine is noisy
The interior in the new Mercedes C-Class is one of the car's best features. Fit and finish is excellent and the design looks smart, too. Getting comfortable behind the wheel is easy thanks to reach and rake adjustment on the steering wheel, and height adjustment on the driver's seat.
The car is extremely quiet to travel in, but that does have the negative effect of making the diesel engines sound noisier than they should do in a car like this.
Mercedes is the first manufacturer to offer air-suspension (a £900 option) in a car of this class. In effect it means the C-Class floats on a cushion of air and the setup is adjustable for more comfort or added poise. Even the standard SE model does a good job of absorbing bumps on the road. Sport and AMG Line cars get larger alloy wheels and stiffer suspension, so it makes sense to try out all three suspension options to find out which is best for you. All C-Class come with a reversing camera to help with parking.
Practicality & boot space
Boot space in the Mercedes C-Class is better than before, but some might find the rear seats tight
Mercedes has made the new C-Class longer and wider than the car it replaces. Space up front is excellent, and we also found the pedals are not as offset as they were in the old model. Leg and shoulder room in the back should also be fine for most adults, but the C-Class sloping roofline eat into rear-seat headroom.
Boot space is also up 5 litres from the old model to give 480 litres in total, but only Sport and AMG models get 60:40 split rear seats as standard. It's a £900 cost option on SE models with the Executive Pack. It includes heated seats and sat-nav. As with most saloons, the Mercedes suffers from a high load lip, which you'll have to lift heavy items over. The boot opening is large, but not as big as that offered by the BMW 3 Series GT.
Storage spaces include door bins and a number of useful cubbyholes in the dashboard.
Reliability & safety
The Mercedes C-Class should be reliable and very safe, thanks to loads of clever tech
The new Mercedes C-Class only went on sale this year, so it has yet to feature in our Driver Power owner satisfaction survey. In our 2014 manufacturers' rankings Mercedes came 9th out 33 firms, just ahead of BMW but behind premium marques such as Jaguar and Lexus. The C-Class also uses engines that are already employed across the Mercedes range, therefore they should be tried, tested and free from problems.
No matter which one you choose, all Mercedes C-Class model come with a huge assortment of safety features including Attention Assist, which warns the driver when they need to take a rest, and Collision Prevention Assist, which can warn of an imminent collision. A tyre pressure monitor, automatic headlights, cruise control and a reversing camera are also included. With all those safety features, it is no surprise that the C-Class got the maximum five stars when it was crash tested by Euro NCAP.
If you want even more safety features, Sport and AMG Line models fitted with an automatic gearbox can also be optioned with the Driving Assistance pack. It adds features such as adaptive cruise control that matches the speed of the car in front, a blind-spot warning sensor, and Lane Keep assist, which is able to gently steer the car in lane.
Price, value for money & options
The Mercedes C-Class is extremely efficient, but quite expensive to buy
The Mercedes may have a high asking price, but it does come with plenty of equipment including a leather interior, dual-zone climate control and a seven-inch TFT display. C-Class Sport models add 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, lowered suspension, sat-nav, and chrome exterior trim. AMG Line models get 18-inch alloy wheels, an AMG body kit, sports suspension, a sports steering wheel, and a leather finish on the top of the dashboard.
Buyers can also choose from a range of packs including the Executive Pack (£995) that adds sat-nav, heated front seats, and split-folding rear seats. The Premium Pack (£1,595) brings a panoramic sunroof, electrically adjustable front seats, and an ambient lighting pack. If you value ultimate comfort we would recommend choosing the £895 air suspension.
Although the Mercedes is an expensive car to buy, used values should stay high and the car will hold its value better than the equivalent models from BMW and Jaguar.

Apgar Visitor Center is Relocated
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Date: May 13, 2014
The Glacier National Park Apgar Visitor Center operation is relocating to the existing Apgar Transit Center facility, and will begin daily operations Saturday, May 17, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The new location will be identified as the Apgar Visitor Center and will provide visitor information services, pick-up and drop-off services for the park's shuttle system and concession-operated tour and transportation services, retail sales managed by the Glacier National Park Conservancy and restroom facilities. The building is recognized as LEED Gold Certified. The new location of the Apgar Visitor Center is located at the t-intersection approximately one mile north of the West Entrance Station on the Going-to-the-Sun Road.
The Glacier National Park Conservancy is assisting with the relocation. Superintendent Jeff Mow said, "The Conservancy has been instrumental in working with their donors to provide engineering and design expertise, materials and labor to retrofit the facility to serve as the Apgar Visitor Center." Mow said he was impressed with the assistance from several local and regional businesses and appreciates the Conservancy's leadership with this project."
The small building that housed the visitor center in Apgar Village will have public restroom facilities available, but the main building will be closed. An analysis to determine the future use of that facility will begin later this year.
The park hosts three visitor centers, Apgar, St. Mary and Logan Pass. The opening and closing dates and times are as follows:
Did You Know?
In 1976, Glacier National Park was designated as a World Biosphere Reserve. This designation recognizes Glacier's intact ecosystem as a valuable place for sound research and education to take place in a sustainable manner.

FRIDAY, Oct. 21 (HealthDay News) -- For children who undergo liver transplant (LT), there is a high prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) at five to 10 years post-transplant, and this can be predicted by age at LT, decreased calculated glomerular filtration rate (cGFR), and recent steroid use, according to a study published online Oct. 12 in the American Journal of Transplantation.
Valerie A. McLin, from University Hospitals Geneva, and colleagues estimated the prevalence of elevated BP and its predictive factors in 815 long-term survivors of pediatric LT (five years to ≤10 years post-LT). Data were collected from participants enrolled in the BP arm of the Studies in Pediatric Liver Transplantation. Automated BP was measured at annual visits, and was categorized as normal, borderline, or elevated according to standard criteria. BP was considered elevated if patients were taking antihypertensive medications.
The investigators found that elevated BP measurements five to 10 years post-LT had a prevalence of 17.5 to 27.5 percent. At a later follow-up visit, 62.5 percent of the patients had at least one additional elevated BP. In multivariate analysis, age at transplant, use of steroids at the last BP measurement, and cGFR at the last BP measurement were predictive of elevated BP.
"This study demonstrates that elevated BP measurements exist in as many as 27.5 percent of pediatric LT patients aged 5 years or more and at least five years post-LT," the authors write.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in Washington Area Women's Foundation's Stepping Stones Initiative. Together, we are working to build the economic security of low-income, women-headed families by focusing resources on three areas: access to high-quality early care and education; jobs with benefits, career pathways, and family-sustaining wages; and financial education and asset building.
In December 2012, The Women's Foundation awarded grants totaling $805,000 to 23 nonprofits whose work is improving the economic security of low-income women in the Washington metropolitan area. The grants will touch the lives of 5,000 women and children who are living in poverty.
"By investing in effective nonprofits working in these areas, we're helping our region's most vulnerable families access the resources they need to thrive," said Nicky Goren, president of The Women's Foundation. "We have the potential to end poverty in the DC metro area by transforming the role economically disadvantaged women and their families play in our economic future."
Ten of the nonprofits received funding through the Foundation's Early Care and Education Funders Collaborative (ECEFC), a partnership between national and local private foundations, corporate funders and family foundations to increase access to quality early care and education in the DC metro area. The Grantee Partners are:
The remaining nonprofits were funded for their work in financial education, workforce development and jobs. They were chosen because of their focus on giving women and their families the tools they need to increase their assets and obtain jobs with family-sustaining wages and benefits. Those Grantee Partners are:
In the coming months we hope to expand our grantmaking strategy to address the critical needs of girls and young women as we continue to invest in programs breaking the cycle of poverty.
You are a part of a community that has come together because we believe that every woman and girl should have the opportunity to fulfill her dreams and to reach her full potential.
Charlotte Perret, a generous donor, said, "The act of writing a check may be a small act compared to the acts of those on the ground. But… the ability of the foundation to create social change can only happen when we help make that possible."
Your generosity helps us realize our goals and support the over 260,000 women and girls living in poverty in our region. With your help this year, we will increase our grant making, update our groundbreaking research on the needs of our region's women and girls, share best practices for workforce development programs, and launch a girls grant making strategy that will invest in programs breaking the cycle of poverty so women and girls in this community have access to the resources they need to get on the path to prosperity.
Women like Okema Wade who bravely shared her story with us. Okema was a jobless, single mom who signed herself up for a job training program so that she could obtain the necessary skills to land a better job.
"This journey… would not have been possible without inner determination to make a better life for myself and my family, programs like So Others Might Eat's Center for Employment Training, child care services, transitional housing and a host of other support services that helped along the way. These programs exist because organizations like The Women's Foundation and people like you see how the resources they provide can change lives and give families a brighter future."
Okema was recently promoted and now serves as the Employment Retention Specialist at So Others Might Eat's Center for Employment Training. This is great news, not just for Okema and her daughters, but also for the women who will go through the program with the help of someone who has been in their shoes and now has a brighter future. Okema is also exploring her options for taking classes at a local college with the goal of obtaining a degree.
Thank you for supporting our vision of standing together so she can stand on her own. Together we will build a community in which all women and girls have the resources they need to thrive.
Each one of us has the power to transform our community. Each time we invest in women and girls, we help unravel the fabric of poverty and begin to weave a tapestry of prosperity.
Poverty Among the Powerful.
In our region, one in five women and girls lives in poverty. That means over 200,000 women and girls struggle everyday to get the basics required to take care of their families.
Imagine that after paying for housing and child care, what you have left is $15 per day—$15 per day to pay for everything that you and your family need: food, clothing, transportation, medicine, school supplies . . . everything. That's what one in every five mothers in our region struggles with every day.
Building a Future.
Washington Area Women's Foundation invested in programs that in the last two years helped 2,400 women increase their assets and income by $13 million! Thank you—we couldn't have done it without you!
We helped women like Deborah, a single mom living in a one bedroom apartment who had a dream of something more for her son Dion, and the drive to attain it. She needed knowledge, counseling, and encouragement—all of which she received under the tutelage of the staff of the Homebuyers Club at Manna, Inc., a Women's Foundation Grantee Partner. Her first steps included opening a dedicated savings account for her home purchase, reviewing her finances monthly with Manna staff, and making daily decisions to sacrifice in the short-term for her long-term goal, all the while working three jobs. Three years later she moved into her own home, saying with satisfaction that home ownership, "made me feel my self-worth as an adult." Deborah is now a thriving member of her community, working with her neighbors to address community concerns and issues.
Stand Together. So She Can Stand on Her Own.
Every day at The Women's Foundation we are privileged to see the impact that collective giving has on the lives of low-income women and their families. We know that together, everything is possible. Together we can help all women in our region thrive and help change the face of poverty in the U.S.
In 2011, we directed $175,000 to a strategic set of organizations that provide financial education and job training. The return on that investment was $6.7 million!
Our stakeholders support:
Please stand with us, so women and girls in our region can stand on their own and help transform our community, the region and beyond.
