Vatican News

4 hours

Without the financial support of generous benefactors and small donors, Catholic schools in Lebanon would be forced to close, a fact we explore visiting one in Beit Hebbak.

--------------

There are ways to make money to support Catholic Schools, and Catholic Hospitals, and Catholic Orphanages. In the old days some priests made and sold wine to make money to help the poor, and they made and sold champagne, and cheese, and other things.

In the modern world, my Mother worked for a company, Sverdrup, and they built a satellite to tell us where our natural resources are, the satellite will tell us where to find Gold, etc. We use Gold to save world economies when the economies are collapsing, for instance in Turkey in about 2000 their economy was about to collapse, their currency was about to become worthless overnight, so the IMF and the World Bank tied Turkey's currency with Gold and they stabilized Turkey's currency. Gold can be used for a lot of things. NASA and Sverdrup can tell the Catholic Church where to look for Gold if the Catholic Church wants to own a gold mine to make money to keep schools and orphanages and hospitals open, etc. And of course people can make jewelry from Gold and they can sell the jewelry to help the church, etc.

Also, people can raise pigs in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and they can sell pork to the people of San Francisco, California, and the money can go for Catholic Schools, and Hospitals, and Orphanages, etc. And people can raise cattle to sell hamburger for fast food restaurants to raise money to help the schools, and hospitals and orphanages, etc.

There are ways to make money to help the Catholic Schools, Hospitals, and Orphanages.

Also as people go with clean electricity, some of the money from the new electric companies can go to help the Catholic Schools, Hospitals, and Orphanages.

And there is the Saint Louis College of Music on Via Urbana in Rome, and they can help people to make music to raise money to help the schools, hospitals, and orphanages, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

If Roe vs Wade is over-turned, then it becomes a state battle I guess, some states say they will ban abortions as soon as Roe vs Wade is over-turned, and California is saying that they will be a sanctuary for people who want to have abortions and that people from all over the USA will be able to come to California for free abortions.
Rich and middle class people at least. Teens with good support systems. But if you are rural poor in South Texas or a teen who has family issues you are fucked again. I oppose abortion but I oppose even more it being a right for the well to do only.
I oppose inflation. And I certainly oppose it for the poor and unfortunate. The well to do will survive.

Are there those who favor inflation?   I don't recall it ever being a hot button issue.  Your analogy seems more like a nonsequitur.
You seem pretty immune to following a discussion.

When assholes try and lead a discussion toward a pile of shit in a bucket of horse piss, yes he is. Facts are a kind of vaccine that helps one build such immunity. You should think about getting yourself inoculated. Here is an at home starter kit for you, since this is a giving season



And real wealth is up for the bottom 50 percent since we dumped trump.

Science has no metaphysical ruling on all this.  As FAC said, the fetus is biologically part of a womans body until it is viable.  If your religion views the fetus as having a soul, a consciousness, a destiny in the world, then dont have an abortion and help other pregnant women if they are considering adoption or other options and vigorously support sex education and free contraception and support to young women in coercive relationships, giving these supports to those most needy so that there will be fewer abortions and fewer unwanted babies. How hard is that to figure out?
You seem to be confused.
Science does not make moral decisions....

I think the word metaphysical was a problem for you.  Barto was saying that science does not make moral decisions, nor does it take metaphysical positions (the kind that are the basis for a lot of religion based morality).  And a womans choice on what to do with an embryonic life relates to what she believes, metaphysically and doctrinally, about the nature of that life.  Science only addresses viability and developmental stages.  Before viability it should be up to the woman and her beliefs.  Not the state.

Dear lord.

Eleanor Clift with cutting edge political theory... if this was 2014.

Biden will not up show to the disaster site and shoot paper towel roll free throws...

This is not a matter of political WILL with regards to LEGISLATING, it is a matter of governing by pushing the levers at his disposal, FEMA without a Brownie at the helm.

On the topic of the Green Lantern Theory:

Unfortunately, while left-leaning commentators blamed Obama for not plowing full steam ahead to protect his legacy, center right commentators insisted Obama should just use his Green Lantern Ring of Power and just lead.

How do you define viability ?
You agree with how science does? Or how your political views do?
And just when is viability?
