Declan Lynch: Abortion Issue Tainted by Pious Fictions CLERICAL WHISPERS - May 16, 2013 I think it is time to correct a few major misunderstandings about the nature of the abortion "debate". Perhaps the first of these is the idea that this is a self-evidently serious argument in which all parties have a sincere belief in what they are saying, and are therefore entitled to respect – both from their opponents and from any neutrals who may be observing. This idea – or rather, this pious fiction – is a response to the ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/05/declan-lynch-abortion-issue-tainted-by.html

Notes on the Psalms – Psalm 50 THE CATHOLIC SCHOLAR - May 11, 2013 In Psalm 50, God speaks to His people about His expectations. As the psalm begins, God is summoning the whole earth to appear before Him. He is calling out to all the people, from one end of the world to other, crying to them, drawing them to Him, issuing a proclamation, for He has a message for them. Who is this God? He is the mighty One, in Hebrew literally, the God of gods. He is the perfection of beauty, and He shines out from Zion. He radiates power. The devouring ...http://thecatholicscholar.blogspot.com/2013/05/notes-on-psalms-psalm-50.html

Two ladies sat near me at the cafe and began talking about 'tolerance' in the wake of one of them sparking up a cigarette. They were noting how 'intolerant' society had become towards some people, like, for example, smokers. Of course, they blamed for this, Labour and Tony Blair in particular for creating a society that is more intolerant and more policed than ever they remember it. They ridiculed Blair for his great wealth since leaving office, for the Iraq war and ...http://thatthebonesyouhavecrushedmaythrill.blogspot.com/2013/05/so-who-do-you-think-you-are-kidding-mr.html
