@Tcam12305 @Chris_SmithsJ Pope Francis is not the patriarch of Jerusalem, Pizzabella is. Bishops are charged with the care of souls in their own dioceses.

Unless every student in the program is going into cloistered religious life, sooner or later, they will be confronted with the realities of digital media. When they do, they may find that they are unprepared for life in the modern age. ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-vo… via @NCRonline

BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is hit with bad news as over a dozen Senate Democrats launch a bill that will slash the Supreme Court’s funding if it doesn’t implement a strict ethics code for all Supreme Court Justices.
Justice Thomas is afraid to death of this bill… because it would force him to recuse himself from cases he’s personally tied to — and put an end to his shameless grifting. RT if you support this bill!

It is truly unfortunate and disappointing that our governor has been MIA this far. Whatever the reason, Tennessee deserves leadership and courage from its executive. There is still time to do
what’s right and badly needed. nytimes.com/2023/03/29/opi…

Want to know how far the Republican Party has drifted on its interpretation the 2nd Amendment? Here's what Republican Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger-appointed by President Nixon-had to say about the NRA:
"The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires."
Make sure everyone sees this.
