    Francis stirs it up once again

    I can hear the opposition now, 'will he ever stop, I no longer recognize 'my' church. We don't even have women deacons yet, do we? Yet he remains adamant there can be no ordination to the priesthood. Ever since the Second Vatican Council, popes have summoned the world’s bishops to Rome for a...

    The Donald Trump Rape Trial is underway.

    If I am correct, this is a civil trial for defamation not the actual rape as that charge may no longer apply due to the statute of limitations which are different according to the particular state.

    Which of your beliefs are correct?

    From my perspective factually correct does not apply to the incomprehensible Mystery we have named 'God'. There is always doubt even if we try to suppress it. If an understanding of God is 'factual', then it is not God you refer to.
