    Why do trinitarian ideologists say that Jesus Christ is YHWH?

    Actually, the reaping of sound scholarship.

    Political extremism in some Catholic groups.

    Jordan is a ultra conservative in the House of Representatives, ran against Macarthy for Speaker. Politics and religion make strange bedfellows. I think you are correct that it is more representative of evangelicals.

    Gun Laws

    I don't know about all crime, but gun reform would certainly cut down on the increase of mass shootings with better gun regulations. I don't know the statistics but these mass shootings seem to occur in states with no red flag laws.

    Political extremism in some Catholic groups.

    For sure.

    There were many who felt the same way, its a Jesus and me thing, one would receive the host and walk out.

    Political extremism in some Catholic groups.

    Maybe there have been some movements like this in the past but I found surprising the depth of the government involvement. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Jordan alleged the FBI “relied on at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis, and that the FBI proposed that its...

    Religious rituals

    Yes, but here's a few to begin with. The standing during the gospels is, in Jewish liturgy, the standing for the Torah. The prayers of the offertory are the prayers of the Jewish Benediction before a meal. The Sanctus is a direct quote from the Jewish prayer the Quedushah, while the ending of...

    Robert F. Kennedy for President

    Guess it a little more complicated. In fact, the CIA’s in-house historian conceded in 2013 that the spy agency, in its dealings with the Warren Commission, engaged in a “cover-up” of what it knew about Oswald. The historian’s report, released in time for the 50th anniversary of the...

    True, with some carried over from the synagogue.

    Movie on Hulu: 'The Pope Answers'

    As has come to be expected Francis delivers again with his familiar 'pastoral zingers'. Which I am sure will add more fuel for the conservative arsenal. Its about a group young Catholics and an open discussion with Francis. And on the topic of sex, Francis described the catechism as “still...

    Robert F. Kennedy for President

    True that at first he was not and after signing it into law he made a remark as probably losing the south for decades.

    Robert F. Kennedy for President

    I don't think many Americans really think that way either. Its a stretch to think that the actual assassin of either committed this act on his own. The masterminds all belonged to the same ilk beginning with Lincoln. At least that's my impression. Could also add MLK to the list.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene defends suspected Pentagon leaker, saying he is 'white, male, Christian, and anti-war'

    The 'leaker' is a 'baby', 21 years old, a gamer in a chatroom with other gamers. The real question is how was he able, at his low rank, able to access the material in the first place? He is/was stationed here in Massachusetts and living on Cape Cod where he was arrested.

    The legacy of Teilhard de Chardin

    I found the depth of his spirituality to be most intriguing, especially as a philosopher and paleontologist and priest. "Over every living thing which is to spring up, to grow, to flower, to ripen during this day, say again the words This is my Body. And over every death-force which waits in...

    Marijuana

    We had a foster teenager stay with us for a summer and he would refill what liquor he took with water. But this was a conscious choice whereas the kids given the edibles didn't know.

    Marijuana

    There has been a problem with young school children becoming sick on edible foods that are brought into the school. Kids have become quite sick.

    The legacy of Teilhard de Chardin

    Years ago I took a course at Boston College on the Eucharist entitled 'The Many-Faceted Jewel' through which I first became familiar with Teilhard de Chardin and his 'Mass on the World' from Hymn of the Universe. "Since once again, Lord through this time not in the forest of the Aisne, but in...

    Marijuana

    Unfortunately,the problem is now too much weight gain. And he is self-conscious about it. To add to the problem my husband is one who calls it like it is.

    Marijuana

    He will be 19 in Oct. Due to his ADHD for which he took medication until he was 16 he was more able to focus. He reacts differently to the usual affects. Whatever would be a stimulant for most has the opposite effect. Normally we take coffee to perk us up, to him it has a calming effect etc...
