Fernando Karadima, such accusations against Barros are "all calumny."The pope's remarks drew shock from Chileans and immediate rebuke from victims and their advocates.https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/pope-shocks-chile-accusing-sex-abuse-victims-slander-52447841 less

Her mom was L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt who died. That's pretty wealthy by anyone's standards. At this rate when can we expect to see our first TRILLIONAIRE and what career/ field of endeavor d'ya think he/she will represent?

Does that really satisfy you? Or does it scare you? Are you always in control and able to stop or do you get out of countrol and have to rant until you wear out?
Did you know that New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the right to vote? That was in 1893. The US did it in 1920. Way way way way way slowpokey.

It is a yearly custom of Orthodox Christians who celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany which occurs usually 12 days after Christmas. It commemorates/celebrates the 3 Kings/3 Wisemen. Any of you ever go from a nice hot Sauna into snow? Some folks do that too. I'm not sure what the benefit is. Maybe surviving it? Anyway if doing that can cleanse the soul truly and really wouldn't that be superiorly grand? less

The victims accused Bishop Juan Barros of being complicit in covering up Karadima's sex crimes. Pope Francis said until he sees proof of Barros having done that the accusations against Barros are "all calumny". Why would he say that? Why speak about it at all? I thought the days of religious folks rushing to cover up sexual abuse/denounce accusers were in the past . Why would the sex abuse victims falsely accuse anyone of anything? What's going on in the church? More of the same AGAIN? less

He just resigned for having made comments that are racist/sexist/anti-Muslim/anti-LGBT. So here's the question. Is what you say about how you feel sufficient to get you fired or cause you to resign? If so why isn't that same rule applied equally to everyone in government? Why are there exceptions? less

That way we the people don't have to suffer for the posturing and grandstanding and muscle flexing and partisan sniping of politicians. So we'd have a Dem/GOP/Libertarian/Green/Whatever government to handle the job. Just like having an understudy to go on if the star is unable to do so or a stand-in.. The show must go on. It's a thought.

It has been created to handle complaints from medical professionals who don't want to perform medical procedures because the procedures violate their religious or moral beliefs. Is this a harmless protection or a slippery slope?
