Kathleen:

I especially enjoy interacting with those who are willing to frankly and honestly comment on what I share. You are absolutely right about the second video. I lost all objectivity in trying to quickly include a sound bite from one of my Domincian brethren. You are a good and kind teacher.

The Pope tells the truth. Truth isn't conservative nor liberal. It just is. A typical German address to an audience contains "Meinen Herren und Damen." Meaning "ladies and gentlemen." Not unusual at all as it is typical in English and other languages as well. I echo Kathleen's comment above. Thanks for this video.

It is entitled How Same-Sex Marriage Won .

What a stir it created.

Monday Musings - A Friendly Reminder From the Lord and the Prophet Jeremiah

Image
No doubt there are current-day Jeremiah's in our midst to who m we, like our Jewish ancestors, have turned a deaf ear... "[The Lord telling Jeremiah] to speak to the people of the cities of Judah whatever I command you, tell them, and omit nothing. Perhaps they will listen and turn back, each from his evil way, so that I may repent of the evil I planned to inflict upon them for their evil deeds. Say to them: Thus says the Lord: If you disobey me, not living according to the law I placed before you and not listening to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send you constantly though you do not obey them, I will treat this house like Shiloh, and make this the city to which all nations of the earth, shall refer when cursing another."   (From Jeremiah 26:4-6 )
