“It’s our faith that informs us how to treat all who come to our farm and the farmers market with dignity and decency … serving customers of many races, religions, cultures and those who identify with the LBGT community,” said by the guy who will sell apples to customers at the Farmer's Market but will not "sell" use of his farm as a venue for a wedding ceremony that he does sell to non-gay. Selling apples and selling venues for weddings are both products bought and sold on public markets. If he limits who he will sell "venues" to then perhaps he should also be limited in who he can sell apples to.

How refreshing. So nice to think that what some western state decides to do isn't overruled by some people in Washington DC who have no vested interest in the situation.

“It was making this whole issue confusing to the fans, to the military, to the players, to the coaches. No one had clarity,” he said." Really? It was all pretty clear to me. By is own words, Kaepernick knew the American flag is the symbol that represents this country and all its citizens: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." He perceives the USA as evil and filled with white racists. Add to that his choice to wear socks depicting police as pigs and his anti-law enforcement, anti-America mentality is clear. Thus every player and coach that followed his lead, whether they had different motivations or not, accomplished the same thing: their actions accused the entire population of being evil and full of white racists. None of the empty words now about "showing unity" (you chose the NFL over fans and even pride in your country?) are going to unscramble this particular egg.

“It is, perhaps, to Trump's credit that in Cleveland he did not pretend to beliefs he does not possess.” Well…“in Cleveland” anyway. Mr. Trump, in going down his checklist, has already professed to “many beliefs he does not possess.” He once held a bible aloft. That, in itself, is sufficient…because “faith” will take whatever it can get. And, having the advantage of being incarnate, Mr. Trump has already received an Evangelical endorsement. Religious sycophants now speak for Mr. Trump…stating openly that Jesus Christ speaks through him. And Dr. Ben Carson, crudely wielding his scalpel of faith, linked Hillary one-step away from Lucifer Himself. Mr. Gerson does not understand how “genuine” religious faith works in political America…it’s a matter who gets there first with the token symbolism. Hillary could drop to her knees right there on the convention floor and tearfully proclaim to be “born again.” But the more thoughtful Christians out there would not be swayed by such antics.

Last time I checked there were several million kilometers of pipelines in North America. And the environment seems to be in pretty good shape.

Illuminating choice of words, but simply masking hate and divisiveness doesn’t make it go away, it only festers(antifa itself is proof of that). A more productive approach might be to address some of the roots of those issues not add fuel to the bonfire. How often are masked/hooded men defenders of liberty and justice? A pretty rare event, I’d say. Not all antifa fall under the label of thugs, but enough are to taint them as little better than those they’re supposed to be “defending” the populace from.

Since the economic sanctions on Iran were lifted, the government has responded quickly by reducing 98 percent of its uranium stockpile, dismantling thousands of centrifuges, limiting uranium enrichment and research, and filled its reactor with cement. Unquestionably, the country is further away from obtaining a weapon than before the deal was struck.

“In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers. It was like waking from a dream of separateness, of spurious self-isolation in a special world, the world of renunciation and supposed holiness… This sense of liberation from an illusory difference was such a relief and such a joy to me that I almost laughed out loud… I have the immense joy of being man, a member of a race in which God Himself became incarnate. As if the sorrows and stupidities of the human condition could overwhelm me, now I realize what we all are. And if only everybody could realize this! But it cannot be explained. There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun.” -Thomas Merton Another unlikely sacred space

“In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map.” The implication here is that Clinton is responsible for ISIS. In Trump’s first joint interview with Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN) with 60 Minutes on July 17, Trump said “Hillary Clinton invented ISIS with her stupid policies.” This is false. The roots of ISIS date back before the Obama administration and Clinton being named Secretary of State. Though the group did not exist as ISIS until 2010, the fact-checking website Politifact ruled that the idea that Clinton is responsible for ISIS is “false.” It was called al-Qaida in Iraq in 2004, and then the Islamic State of Iraq in 2006, before turning into the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

“If the teaching of doctrine does not develop [how it is approached] it is dead.” Another meaningless sentence which cannot pass parsing. Who says it is dead? You. What do you mean by dead? You don’t say. Here’s a piece of doctrine, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” How should one approach this teaching save to say that according to divine Law ‘one should not tell lies’? Show us how you can develop that doctrine by a different approach in order to similarly conclude that one should not tell lies. Or could it be that far from reinforcing a teaching by approaching it differently the aim is to reverse that teaching under the guise of development? Methinks this is what doctrinal development ultimately means to the ‘progressive’ Catholic.

CI is carefully managing/condoning these clergy sex crimes by forbidding clergy from reporting sex crimes to police by the Canon law for heaven’s sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “The ideology of the Catholic faith is intact,..” Yes it is in CCC, Bible, living Christ Spirit immanent in people as well as in all these sex abused children.

My reflection on Jesus in His human nature is that He had to struggle with the reality of sin He would have been aware of its corrupting influence on the human heart and would have had to struggle with it; He would know the inner reality of every man in the reality of Himself as a fallen man. With this struggle with His own human reality in humility He would see His own human nature and because of this “difficulty” does not come into the equation as it is a known reality in that he sees himself in those who persecute Him he “knows” what they do hence “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Continued

These words have haunted me from childhood “Even if a man should rise from the dead you would not believe”. My reaction to these words, as a child, was to ask the Father this question, but what if a man /woman knew that they were a spirit, a living soul, would this make a difference? This drew me to the words “You know not what manner of spirit you are” For many years I have been on a long search, to find the answer to that question, without realizing it.

Aside from that there really in no reason that this boy should have been kicked out of his troop. it doesn't matter if the boy was coached or came up with the questions on his own. Apparently the troop leader has a problem with people who don't agree with him politically. It is really sad that the Boy Scout Council has not come out and said that the leader was wrong. I guess they will evaluate the situation and come to the conclusion we all expect. That it is up to the troop leader who is in the troop. They will make no meaningful resolution.

“I wanted someone who would be a good foil, and we stumbled upon the scrappy tough-guy senator from an Indigenous community. He fit the bill, and it was a very nice counterpoint,” Mr. Trudeau says in the article. “I saw it as the right kind of narrative, the right story to tell.” What JT is getting at? A "good foil" for what? A "very nice counterpoint" to what? What is the "right kind of narrative/story" here? I suppose one could be outraged and impute a racist context - for a segment of the First Nations commentariat, this is the default setting and it loses force when applied to everything. But I don't think Trudeau is a racist. Instead I think he is very poor at formulating and articulating a message that is not social media/selfie based. When you see his latest pic you can form an idealised view of the man. You see what he and his handlers want you to see. Unfortunately, when he speaks, you are confronted with the harsh reality that he is a not very clever and a bit of a doofus.

He apparently was the make or break guy in many careers. A woman who does not get what she wants will hate him and hatred magnifies injuries. We see this type of mob reaction over and over. Note that this Weinstein thing is getting comparable or more airtime than the shooting in LV which cost the lives of so many.
