This is all like learning a new language. Yup. Lots of technical jargon and concepts. Like learning an engineering degree all over again. I have no idea how to "watch the straddle." I've never heard of this before. I don't know where to look for this metric. Basically, this is asking Mr. ...

+JMJ+ Hold yer horses. Before, you were apparently of the opinion that the Catechetical Revision merely represented Francis' personal judgment — topically significant, but negligible in the big picture. Now, you're characterizing it as a "scandalous" reversal of solemn Church teaching, am...

We are headed to the East Coast at the end of June. My so has a 9 day engineering camp at Virginia Tech. We'll be visiting family and old haunts up and down the coast until he is done. We are also stopping by Embry-Riddle for a campus tour in FL. Wow! I used to be an instructor for Embry- Riddle. I...

+JMJ+ The fundamental principle of Respect for Life guides Church teaching on abortion and capital punishment. Death Penalty should be avoided when possible; abortion must be opposed in all cases. It seems difficult to sustain this reading considering that the Catechetical Revision frames the DP as...

+JMJ+ After following the Pope's magisterial breadcrumbs for the whole of this pontificate, I think it safe to say that he sees right-thinking regarding the Death Penalty as a gateway to right-thought on any-&-all fundamental Human Rights violations. Newsom may not be quite there yet, but ortho...
