Week of July 24th, 2013

RELIGION AND POLITICS

So, Catholic Schools divide us?  Really?  Like Republicans divide Democrats or vice-versa?  Like rich people divide poor people?  Like environmentalists divide industrialists?  Well, our President thinks that Christian schools divide society (notice how he doesn't mention Muslim or Buddhist or anyone else).  Oh, the inconsistency of thought...

POPE FRANCIS

It wasn't anything against Beethoven, but the Pope had some work that had to get done.  The message was clear:  if you need to work, you need to work.

"Be close to the people and do not have the mentality of being a prince."

BOY SCOUTS, GIRLS SCOUTS

The Girl Scouts of America are going through some tough times.  Ever since their radical leaders inaugurated a program that eliminates God, Family and Traditional values, the Girl Scouts have lost a ton of families, members, support and money.  You won't hear about it, but facts speak louder than fiction.  Call me a prophet, but I have a feeling the Boys Scouts of America will go through something very similiar...and soon.
