Pope Francis honeymoon continues: Draws big crowds and new fans
Sun Apr 28, 2013
- While i respect the approach of Pope Francis, actions speak louder than words. He needs to address the continuing sexual abuse and must deal with a changing society. Not calling for a change in every teaching but the teaching needs to be updated. I was a kid when Vatican II was announced and there w …
Investigator pleads for help in marathon bombing probe: 'Someone knows who did this'
Mon Apr 15, 2013
- We often give God more credit than He/She deserves. As far as God being banned from schools and the public square, since when is a Divine Deity subject to human rules??? He/She can just walk on in and say, "I'm here" who is going to tell Him/Her to leave, if He/She is even there.
Firing of Rutgers coach Mike Rice 'far too late,' says Lupica
Wed Apr 3, 2013
- While I don't condone throwing basketballs and other objects at players his behavior is not all that different from thousands of other coaches, scholastic, collegiate and professional. When it comes to sports, there is a fine line between instruction and abuse and I would certainly side with those w …
Pope Francis describes wish for 'poor church for the poor'
Sat Mar 16, 2013
- A "poor Church for the poor"! Good luck with that Pope Francis. The last pope who mentioned making the Church "a poor mother" had something added to his evening coffee....and we know how that ended. When I saw Francis for the first time, he sorta reminded me of JP-I now he's sounding like him. Bette …
Vatican says 'dirty war' accusations about Pope Francis just a left-wing smear
Fri Mar 15, 2013
- Trust2112 Who would have thought that the late Flip Wilson was a theologian??? Didn't he always say, "the Devil made me do it!" As a Catholic I can say my Church needs the same purging that Hercules gave to the Aegean Stables. We are hip deep in IT and the cleansing can't come soon enough. Unfortuna …
Reports: Father accidentally shoots, kills 10-month-old son in front of family
Fri Mar 15, 2013
- Stonepipe: On your abortion number, believe you forgot about all the spontaneous abortions we call "miscarriages". If you're so pro-life you should hunt down all these women and have them arrested. Oh yes, miscarriages are an "act of God" so apparently God is pro-choice and not narrow minded like yo …
More trouble for Carnival: One ship stuck as a second limps home
Fri Mar 15, 2013
- The issue isn't the nice international crew, those folks work hard, as I saw first hand on my Carnival Cruise; however, when you have a company that orders ship builders to cut every corner in the book and some that haven't been invented, then you have problems. Their biggest problem is not building …
'I want him here': Cardinal Dolan's mom relieved he's not pope
Thu Mar 14, 2013
- We (many American Catholics) are also pleased he is not pope! He's a real viper in sheep's clothing. Our new Pope must address the pedophilia crisis head on and take affirmative action by removing priests and bishops who aided and abetted the commission and cover-up. Then there's the Irish nuns who …
'Breath of fresh air': Women religious welcome Pope Francis
Wed Mar 13, 2013
- We need to see if Pope Francis does indeed reach out to disaffected Catholics and energizes the Faith. Women need more important roles and I can see them being deacons. In the early Church, 1st-3rd Century women had just as many important roles as men. It took an emperor--Constantine--to change all …
Vote: Was Pope Francis a good choice?
Wed Mar 13, 2013
- Sorta. Like his economic and social justice stand; see what happens on more pressing issues: scandals, women, birth control.
