Pope OK’s communion despite Biden abortion stance

Pope: No place for politics in Biden Communion flap

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis said Wednesday that Catholic bishops must minister with “compassion and tenderness,” not condemnation, to politicians who support abortion rights and warned that clerics shouldn’t let politics enter into questions about receiving Communion.

Francis was asked en route home from Slovakia about the debate in the U.S. church about whether President Joe Biden and other politicians should be denied Communion because of their stances on abortion. U.S. bishops have agreed to draft a “teaching document” that many of them hope will rebuke Catholic politicians, including Biden, for receiving Communion despite their support for abortion rights.

“Aboard the Papal plane?” This is the same guy who lectures us about Global warming.

Annamie Paul says some of her candidates don’t want her to visit their ridings

TORONTO — Green Party Leader Annamie Paul said on Friday that she’s staying out of other ridings in part to avoid being a distraction and to honour her candidates’ wishes.

At a press conference on Friday, Paul addressed why she hasn’t been travelling to various ridings around the country, acknowledging that some candidates might not want her to visit.

“I still want to make sure that if I travel somewhere first, that I’m wanted, and that’s not a given, and then secondly, that it is going to help our local candidates and that’s also unfortunately, not a given,” she said a press conference on Friday.

AOC says Republicans share shortcomings of rape culture: It’s ‘abuse of power’ and about ‘asserting control’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , a New York Democrat, likened Republicans’ abortion law to “rape culture” Tuesday following the commencement of the Texas Heartbeat Act, also alluding to “menstruating person[s]” when referring to women.

The law, which many consider one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation, demonstrates that Republicans such as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , a Kentucky Republican, want to have more control over women’s bodies than women do, Ocasio-Cortez said.

National Archives Places ‘Harmful Language Alert’ On Page Hosting U.S. Constitution.

The alert now appears on many pages on the archives.org website, and links to a page entitled “NARA’s Statement on Potentially Harmful Content,” which they define as:

  • reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes;
  • be discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more;
  • include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more;
  • demonstrate bias and exclusion in institutional collecting and digitization policies.

Bizarrely, the warning does not appear on a page about Jim Crow, which has no fewer than 6 uses of the word “n*gg*r.” Nor does it appear on a page with the word “k*ke.”
