It Took a Jesuit Pope to Demolish Opus Dei. Here’s How the Legend Became Reality (magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it)

There has been a lot of yarnspinning over the enmity between the Society of Jesus and Opus Dei. But the leaders of the Work thought and feared that the fairy tale would become reality right from the start, when in 2013 the Jesuit Jorge Mario Bergoglio ascended to the chair of Peter. Their decision was to close themselves off in...

There's government in SA and there's Islamic religious authority. Two families agreed long ago to separate spheres. The religious authority has long been frustrated with the government and are the ones who attacked us on 911. Someone needs to break the religious monopoly in SA.

Most hospitals are setup as non-profit entities and use medical debt write-offs to exhibit their charity. In all truth, they intentionally drive their own expenses sky high to increase revenue to astronomical levels so to give executives running these organizations excessively high compensation. These write-offs are just part of the gig.

I live in Kansas, where the cost of living is relatively low compared to the rest of the country. 1st year officers make $59k. They best paid officers are paid $89k. Plus very good benefits.

Maryland court rules religious exemption bars discrimination claim against CRS (theleaven.org)

The Maryland Supreme Court ruled Aug. 14 that the religious exemption in the state's Fair Employment Practices Act "bars claims (of) religious, sexual orientation, and gender identity discrimination against religious organizations by employees who perform duties that directly further the core mission(s) of the religious entity."

That's what they called John Brown.

Are you able to offer a contrast against two people who oppose the commodification of human life?

52fighters,

I agree. That's why our society should take a much, much harder stance against rapists. The folks commodifying human life are the people who have turned abortion into an industry. But beyond that, a person who willfully engages in acts that are capable of producing new human life but with the plan to murder that life (painfully, if necessary) for the sake of lifestyle or convenience, are objectively immoral. These are the vast majority of abortions. No medical necessity. No rape. Lifestyle decisions after consenting to sex and either not using contraceptives or having a contraceptive failure. And these folks are the bread and butter for the abortion industry. Almost none of these clinics would be financially viable without this market segment.

Just do an overlay of the number of planned parenthood clinics and the abortion rate over time. They mirror very closely. Why? Because they are the opening pipeline to the abortion industry. But we also know they have a secondary market for dead babies [link].

The rest of your commend is just throwing mud to detract from the issue. The issue is lifestyle abortions. Instead of dealing with the fact that these are the vast majority of abortions and there is no moral reasons these abortions should exist, you try to detract to arguments about contraceptives that are not going anywhere because nobody is taking away anyone's access to condoms, the pill, or other popular non-abortive contraceptives. Did you want to deal with the fact that most of these abortions are without a question immoral lifestyle abortions?

What we have is a situation with multiple, competing rights. The right to the right to a certain choice related to autonomy on one side and the right to life on the other. In a civilized society, when two rights come into conflict, we have DUE PROCESS to decide the issue. There is no due process. Nobody represents the right of the murdered children. There is no judge, jury, or tribunal. There is no effort to balance the rights of one against the rights of the other. The rights of one entirely trump the life of another. That's immoral, most especially when involving cases of lifestyle abortions.

Every year "secular pro-life" has a fairly large contingency at the March for Life in Washington DC.

I am myself a pro-life Catholic but I also have found nonreligious on the right are much more prone to radical and violent ideas than religious folks on the right. For example I don't know anyone who loves Trump at my church. Some just accept him as being the highly flawed option we have in the moment whereas I know some crazy lovers of his that are absolutely without religion. My experience might or might not play out in the numbers but it is my experience.

Also now it is even harder to support having children for the average Chinese because there's an expectation to take care of your parents and grandparents. If all six are living what resources remain fire marriage and children?

The Dutch have government-paid public (secular), Catholic, Protestant, Islamic, and Jewish schools. All the way through University level. Yet the Dutch seem to be capable of holding on to their secular liberal society.

I am on about 15 years on this current mattress. Seems to be doing just fine.

Admission Free, but Churches Empty. Dreams and Realities of a Pontificate on the Wane (magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it)

The Church “does not have doors”, and therefore everyone can come in, but truly “everyone, everyone, everyone, without any exclusion.” This is the message on which Pope Francis insisted most during his travel to Lisbon, in the run-up to a synod that – in its “Instrumentum laboris” – puts at the top of the list of...

What foods would be best to give to someone living on the streets in a very hot/humid country?

I often go to some cities in Asia and sometimes will see someone who lives on the street. Many times they are sleeping during the day since it’s so hot and sometimes they look malnourished too. What would be the best foods I could provide them (assuming some restaurants or convenience stores are nearby) which would not spoil?

I carry gift cards to Subway for the homeless. Subway restaurants are almost everywhere, don't cost a lot, can be reasonably healthy, and most people like the food well enough.

If there's a cliff nearby, maybe he could get it running for the cliff.

Michael Kofman has been consistently wrong since the start of the war. I wish everyone would stop listening to him and write him off as a hack. Anders Puck does a good job outlining Kofman's arguments about Bakhmut and then shows why those arguments are not entirely reasonable with the biggest reason being the brave defense of Bakhmut lead to Wagner exiting the war, taking out the most effective Russian force in Ukraine, and illustrating a certain fragility to the Russian reliance on military contractors.

My first thought was that maybe Russia was experiencing shortages due to the deteriorating economic situation in Russia but, reading the article, this feels more like a petty bureaucrat that's upset that the occupied people of Ukraine are not cooperating as well as he wishes, so he makes passive-aggressive "punishments" of the people. This may ultimately be good for the war effort, leading to more behind-the-lines resistance movements.

I think kbin is less leftist then Lemmy and you get the same content. I moderate https://kbin.social/m/Catholic and although it is relatively quiet, we do not get a lot of harassment from the left.
