Church of England considers allowing its male bishops to become nuns. You can't make this stuff up. Seriously.
Should the bar exam be abolished? I got a mediocre GRE score when I took the thing in 1986. My MA/PhD GPA was not predicted by this score. Generally, standardized tests don't really test much more than how well students take tests. . .especially multiple-choice tests. If you really want to test grad school potential, require students to write an extended essay.
Hmmmm. . .author wants the Holy Father to condemn the "errors" of Vatican Two. This looks incredibly dodgy to me. Certainly there are interpretations of VC2 teaching that need condemning, but to suggest that the Pope should condemn the Council is highly controversial.
How one Catholic preacher struggles to compose his Sunday homily. I'm learning how important it is for a good preacher to be connected to regular Catholics! The stuff I spend my time thinking about all week is greatly removed from what 99.9% of Catholics worry about.
I listened to a debate on NPR yesterday about the ban on face veils in France. . .found myself waffling with each side. Is it about religious freedom? Or is it about undermining an Islamic fundamentalist tool of social control?
Check out reactions from black writers/thinkers to yesterday's clueless resolution from the NAACP condemning Tea Party "racism."
In so far as the Tea Party movement opposes the statist ambitions of both the Dems and the GOP, I am sympathetic. However, billboards like this one only serve to fuel the MSM meme that the TPM is controlled by a fringe ideology. Let's support a moratorium on Hitler comparisons. Like the accusation of racism, they've become largely meaningless.
So much for ObamaCare will NOT use your tax dollars to fund abortions! Of course, most of us knew they were lying. Opposition to BOCare is still high and unchanging. Guess the snake-oil salesman pitch isn't working.
Oh the irony! The Civil Rights Commission wants to question the DoJ lawyers about the dept's alleged refusal to prosecute cases with black defendants and white plaintiffs. Why is this ironic? Well, we might expect that the CRC would the natural political ally of the US's first black president. I guess the folks on the CRC are more interested in their sworn duty than playing politics.
On how not to restore credibility to your profession: Pro-Cap and Trade/Global Warming Theory columnist is frustrated with the pathetic white wash of the the Climate Gate Scandal review committees.
When social engineering Leftists lose the debate at the Supreme Court they go to the World Court in order to get their agenda imposed. Good luck with that.
Excellent advice. Simple and straight to the point.

ReplyDeleteThis seems to me to like it could be largely a matter of phraseology and not necessarily a real problem. Take the Dominicans for example. Chronologically speaking St. Dominic first created the Second Order Dominicans (nuns) and it was not for several more years until the Dominicans became an order comprised of both men and women.
