I think that's good. Paul Ryan made some allegations that he wasn't doing his job , something that Fr. Conroy disputed. Maybe now, we can see the truth of the matter, and learn whether or not his prayers for the poor were an issue.

Well, I don't support abortion, but I have no idea why feminism would be considered a Nazi thing. I consider myself a feminist, albeit a pro life one. I don't hate authority, but I disagree with the things that our current administration is doing. I don't believe taxation is theft, and think...

There's a touch of incel philosophy here, thinkng of women as a commodity and worrying about if they are distributed fairly, instead of individual beings entitled to making their own choices.

No, I'd like to think a Catholic can be on the left on most issues while still remaining Catholic. Why would I want to hear that I hold two incompatible world views?

I did because I'm adopted and knew nothing of my ethnicity....after 50 years I got a bit curious. Ancestry also connected me to a cousin and maybe a name of a birth father. Kinda a weird thing

To the original post, I have noticed at least one non-Christian religion that is thriving under Trump, and seems to have drawn some Christian Trump supporters I know away from their original faith. It's a branch of Heathenism called Folkish. In a nutshell, it seems that there's been a division...

I agree with the lack of a concept of universal values throughout history, and in fact it is why I tended to think Mere Christianity failed to make a convincing case for Christianity....his argument centered around the idea of all humanity following such a set of values which he believed...

I agree as well, but I felt the same way when Michelle Obama took up the cause, and I don't understand why she was insulted by so many for doing so.

Isn't it also true that Trump does not believe in the health benefits of exercise?
