No longer mentioned by a media that’s idolatrous
Not Hubble or Huma
Or other friend of Bubba
Are mentioned in a media afraid of being called minacious.

To a weak-kneed crapweasel like Boehner, principled commitment seems very minacious so he withers and quits in face of it.

OTOH, if Mitt were to through his hat into the ring, what would poor Ann Coulter do with her two favorite Northeastern Moderate Republicans facing off against each other in the primary?

I wonder how many people in Kim Davis’ church will take offense at her meeting with the Pope.

There may be some, but honestly I know a fair # of evangelical Christians and they are generally not remotely like the pretty awful ones we see bashing Catholics on FR.

spiritdaily.com has that kind of thing, current books you might like, too. Michael Brown was a reporter who encountered God and now is a Catholic icon. He gives retreats, writes books, and host the website. I met him once, very spiritual Godly man. I was impressed. His first book, The Final Hour, is about his encounter and the change in direction of his life.

The crazies say Global Warming is upon us
when all they say is just minacious.
They think they can predict
that is their schtick
yet they hardly know the weather around us.

I couldn't have gotten in to the Papal mass, yet an openly gay man was asked to do a reading? WHY??? It's one thing to accept sinners in our church, it's quite another to have them do the readings as a church leader.

To answer your question: It’s pretty clear what the Cardinal of New York is. By his fruits he is known.
