Moving. The blank face says a lot. Understates a lot, which we can use these days of horror stories, nothing but — unless squeaky sentimentalism.
Why the Vatican Sounds Increasingly Anglican
It’s that old on-the-one-hand this, on-the-other-hand that.
The recent selection of Fr James Martin and Michael Warsaw to be part of the Vatican communications team would indicate that this is the case. The Jesuit Fr Martin is a well known progressive. I might say he is an outspoken progressive, but he is too smart to be outspoken. Instead he shrouds his progressive agenda with sentimental spirituality and intentional ambiguity. If you would like to learn about Fr Martin’s advocacy of the LGBT agenda read this article at Crisis.
On the other hand we have the appointment of Michael Warsaw–head of the EWTN media empire. Folks at EWTN and National Catholic Register would be respectful to members of the LGBT community, but they would certainly not celebrate the gay culture.
If you were trying to choose two poster boys for the two different American Catholic Churches you could hardly do better than Mr.Warsaw and Fr.Martin. Were they chosen to bring “balance” to the team? As the pope embraces Justin Welby did he also embrace the Anglican idea of “two integrities”?

Much more on the troubled doctor who preferred not to leave the plane
Louisville Courier-Journal has it.
He’s a winner, to be sure. “Troubled” is euphemism, of course. “Menace,” anyone?
This doctor gives new meaning to “troubled”?
If not nutcase, dangerous even if unarmed, nobody you want to ride an airplane with. He seems a candidate for any man’s no-fly list.
And who covers such things like the Daily Mail, hunting up answers to questions about him that arise for many readers. Go, Daily Mail.

I can only imagine what’s in those programs.
Or: What this city needs is another program.

Getting to know Susan Rice
El Rushbo on the Susan Rice business:
It is fascinating to watch an entire industry disintegrate before our very eyes. So much of what we call the news business is literally eating itself alive and I guess they’re willing to do it. I have never in my life seen such a shocking abandonment of stated principles and objectives on the part of any group that I can recall.
Abandonment of stated principles, yes, CNN leading the pack. But notice this, all ye Chicagoans, from Pat Hickey of the South Side:
Here’s some fun, Kids! Try and find any reference to Susan Rice in any Chicago News Paper! Warts will disappear before you do.

That’s gonna change, when it comes time to defend her when she appears before House and Senate committees.
