CannonHere's a poor, unsuccessful letter I sent to the editor of The Washington Post: Michael Gerson’s claim that “Catholic social teaching is simply not libertarian” [“A Catholic Test for Politics,” Feb. 8], reveals that Gerson either does not understand Catholicism, or libertarianism, or both.  Immediately thereafter, he cites many libertarian aspects of Catholic social teaching: “the necessity of limited government,” subsidiarity, respecting the human rights of “even illegal immigrants,” etc.  When he claims that repealing ObamaCare or government funding for AIDS and malaria conflicts with Catholic social teaching, he ignores that government coercion is inherent in those policies.  Is Gerson claiming that Catholic social teaching condones using violenc...

You can read it on Pharma BNet: "NPR Producer Gets Apology Over Goodwin Affair; Says Peter Pitts Not Upfront About Ties to Eli Lilly."What I find amusing is that a "seasoned journalist, a Columbia Journalism graduate" would take at face value Pitts' PR agency's pitch, which simply states "Peter Pitts, former associate commissioner for the FDA, and co-founder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest (CMPI)."The "seasoned journalist" in question, a producer of the NPR show that had Pitts as a guest, "swears [Pitts] did not disclose to her that he was a PR person for pharma; if he did, alarm bells certainly would have gone off.....

The Saints Index explains that Saint Giles led “a lifestyle so impoverished that, legend says, God sent a hind [an adult female red deer] to him to nourish him with her milk.” So the next time someone harasses you for breastfeeding in church, smile sweetly and tell them you are sure Saint Giles is smiling down upon you.

From KSAX: Todd County District Judge Sally Ireland Robertson says 13-year-old Adam Race engaged in “repeated harassment” while attending services at the Church of St. Joseph. Robertson says Adam’s family has been unable to prevent him from disrupting church services. The ruling on Monday follows a hearing last week that Adam’s mother had requested to protest the restraining order. Carol Race says many of the claims in the restraining order are not true. I’m not sure that “repeated harassment” is quite the right phrase: While Adam’s behavior in church may have made (did make) others uncomfortable and ...

From WDAY.com: [Carol Race] represented herself at Tuesday’s hearing, and questioned the Reverend Daniel Walz for about 30 minutes. Walz acknowledged that he did not witness all of the alleged disruptions, but said he believes they happened. Judge Sally Ireland Robertson took the matter under advisement and said she would rule later. Afterward, Race said she was disappointed that she wasn’t allowed to question the priest about his credibility. She said she and her family will return to the church if the restraining order is lifted. Tags: asd, asperger, autism, autism blog, catholic, catholi...

Autism rights have been much under discussion of late: A restraining order was filed against the parents of Adam Race by a priest in Bertha, Minnesota, regarding Adam attending church.

Pope Benedict, speaking a day after a California court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, firmly restated on Friday the Roman Catholic Church’s position that only unions between a man and a woman are moral. After last week’s California Supreme Court decision overturning California’s ban on gay marriage, the California Conference of Bishops were quick to issue the following release: SACRAMENTO – Ned Dolejsi, executive director of the California Catholic Conference, released the following statement on behalf of California’s Bishops and the California Catholic Conference, following the California Supreme Court’s decision declaring the state’s Defense of Marriage Act (...

These 60 second shorts provided information on the habitat and behaviour of a Canadian wildlife species, and helped to instill millions of Canadian children with a healthy sense of reverence for nature and all of her creatures. The serene opening flute music and the deadpan-calmness of narrator John Livingston are icons of Canadian culture which many have deemed suitable as fodder for parody and satire (often with hilarious results!!!). Of course, parody is the sincerest form of flattery, and these films have a unique style and mystique that you just can’t find anywhere else. The genius of these shorts is their use of silence. Some more recent incarnations of H... Sciencesque blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=517774 Tue, 03 Apr 2007 03:12:54 +0100 517774
