Pitch Perfect Politics

Pope Saint John Paul II : e) Divorced Persons Who Have Remarried 84. Daily experience unfortunately shows that people who have obtained a divorce usually intend to enter into a new union, obviously not with a Catholic religious ceremony. Since this is an evil that, like the others, is affecting more and more Catholics as well, the problem must be faced with resolution and without delay. The Synod Fathers studied it expressly. The Church, which was set up to lead to salvation all people and especially the baptized, cannot abandon to their own devices those who have been previously bound by sacramental marriage and who have attempted a second marriage. The Church will therefore make untiring efforts to put at their disposal her means of salvation. Pastors must know that, for the sake of truth, they are obliged to exercise careful discernment of situations. There is in fact a difference between those who have sincerely tried to save their first marriage and have been unjustly aband...

Not limited to just status, power, position, and rank but can and often do include intellect, capability,  competence , and  acumen . Pope Francis has more authority than any man alive of earth - President, Dictator, Oprah - and he punches down every day in his attacks on Trads and  faithful Catholics, Tradition,  and doctrine and so if Shea is jake with him doing that - and he is, Shea loves him some Francis- thens Shea has no logical case to apply that phony standard to Trump. Over at there misnamed Catholic and loving it blog the always seething and sputtering Shea goes after Trump for his very funny dismissal of the little lunatic leftist from a frozen country − chezami   Mod    Tim Lambert   •   9 h...

The earth also God commanded to stand in the midst of the world, rooted in its own foundation, and made the mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which he had founded for them. That the waters should not inundate the earth, He set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth. He next not only clothed and adorned it with trees and every variety of plant and flower, but filled it, as He had already filled the air and water, with innumerable kinds of living creatures. http://www.catholicapologetics.info/thechurch/catechism/ApostlesCreed01.shtml

The essence of The Masonic Creed is that all men are brothers and that each of those men and basically good men and that they have the liberty to worship God as they desire or not worship God if that is their desire.  Also part of that Creed is the   belief that there should be a  separation  of  church  and state and that the human cooperation in the brotherhood of man will result in making the world a better,  peaceful, and more prosperous place to live. How does that Creed differ than the Papal Praxis of Our Pope and Our Cross, Francis?   HUMANUM GENUS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON FREEMASONRY To the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops of the Catholic World in Grace and Communion with the Apostolic See. The race of man, after its miserable fall from God, the Creator and the Giver of heavenly gifts, "through the envy of the devil," separated into two diverse and opposite parts, of which the one steadfastly conte...
