🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...
...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel
The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.
He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.
"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

People are finally noticing alternatives to originalism/textualism. Good. But they still can't conceive that engaging natural law and the classical tradition isn't "legislating from the bench" -- it's identifying and applying law.
Leroy the Elk@LeroyTheElk
Every day now, I see a growing anti-textualist rebellion on the right, of young lawyers who want judges to legislate from the bench to reach right-wing outcomes ("natural law" or "common good constitutionalists"). I fear it won't be long before they make their way to the courts.

“Liberal Catholicism is an exhausted project. Essentially a critique, even a necessary critique at one point in our history, it is now parasitical on a substance that no longer exists. It has shown itself unable to pass on the faith in its integrity and inadequate, therefore, in fostering the joyful self-surrender called for in Christian marriage, in consecrated life, in ordained priesthood. It no longer gives life.” —Cardinal Francis E. George, O.M.I.

@EWErickson Too bad they aren't like you Protestants, who don't believe in anything

Catholics fundamentally, by faith, believe that when they take communion, the elements physically become the body and blood of Christ. Even most Christian branches reject that belief. Catholics fundamentally believe it.
The Iranian regime fundamentally believes the 12th Mahdi has disappeared into a fold in space and will come back at the right time. Iran’s leaders believe their reason for being is to remove the barriers to the Mahdi’s return. Israel is one of those barriers. Even most branches of Islam reject that belief. The Iranian leaders fundamentally believe it.
People have by-faith beliefs you may not take seriously. But those of the faith take them seriously and we should not dismiss the sincerity of their beliefs.
The fundamental problem with Western secular government dealing with Iran is that the West rejects the miracles. Even many Western leaders who claim faith do not truly believe in what they profess. So they struggle to relate to those who truly believe in deeply held by-faith convictions.
The Catholic belief in transubstantiation does not affect you, though it incentivizes haters of the Faith to steal and corrupt the sacraments.
Th Iranian belief in setting the stage for the Mahdi’s return affects the whole world and we should act accordingly, not have them sign a paper they will, by faith, work to undermine.

The scenes this evening in Portswood are completely unacceptable.
The Nowak family made a powerful call to us all yesterday to not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension.
There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.
I thank the police who have tonight shown great bravery and calm in the face of disgraceful violence directed at them.
