It is truly right and just,
our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
through Christ our Lord.
You are not "contracted" for this obligation. Every human person owes God gratitude and worship simply because they exist: in consideration of the inescapable fact that He is our Creator and we are His creatures.
would Clinton or Comey lie?
22 Jun: RTE Ireland: ‘World at global tipping point’ - Clinton
By Sharon Tobin, Additional Reporting PA
Speaking to a packed to capacity lecture hall, it was speech directed at millennials, whom she said were “proving to be some of the most effective activists”...
Mrs Clinton said she had spoken to a lot of young people who were not just “discouraged by the policies of the Trump administration” but were “disgusted with politics and disenchanted with our democratic system”.
She said problems were made worse by an administration “set on waging war on the rule of law”...
Russian President Vladimir Putin was described as the “leader of an authoritarian, white supremacist and xenophobic movement that wants to break up the EU”.
Mrs Clinton’s visit coincides with a trip to Dublin by former FBI director James Comey, the man she effectively blames for torpedoing her presidential bid...
Speaking to RTÉ News, he said: “Our whole goal was to try and not to play a role in the elections, so I don’t think of it as an intervention in that way.
“I think we did our best to make principled decisions, not in the interest of either side.”
A demonstration was held at Trinity College today as Ms Clinton was awarded an Honorary Degree.
Around 50 protesters held signs that read “Lock her up” and “Clinton #BodyCount”.
They said her role in “promoting war” during her time as US Secretary State was reason enough to deny her the honour.

This is one of my favorite parts of Mass.
I was taking "contract" as broadly as possible to be as generous as I could to the notion I was criticizing.
This is important in critical analysis. If I evaluated her arguments with only my own definition of her terms then how do I know if what I find objection to is not simply about using terms differently. Alas, I am not sure what she might have meant by "contract", but even in the broadest possible sense I could give it, there is no way I could see it applying until confirmation.
