Most Christian denominations do not practice open communion, which is irrelevant to a Catholic discussion in any case.
In the late 20th century some, but not all, Christian denominations began to follow the lead of the Episcopal Church and the ELCA in giving open communion, in some cases even to pets!
Of course, this does not detract from the apostolic practice of excommunication, or the scriptural reference provided.
If you were able to provide an occasional cite to something authoritative that “this and other posts which you make here are unreliable as Catholic teaching”, that might go some distance towards dispelling the impression left that one would be as well off seeking religious advice from a Ouija board as from you, particularly when time after time your challenges are met with cold hard citations from authoritative sources and refuted, as in this case.
But you don’t, so the unreliability in matters Catholic appears to be yours alone. | 0 | not toxic |
Where do these reports come from? Not in the article. But I can see that Trudeau has class...
Isn't Ramadan like Advent for Christians? It's a symbol of Grace for Muslims. There are many LBGTQ Muslims in the world who cannot be at this major Pride event - even if they live in Toronto.
Trudeau is respecting those who cannot be there but would like to. His respect is a compliment to Muslims everywhere.
If he is being criticized for wearing them on his feet, then no disrespect is intended. He probably got these socks as a gift from a Muslim supporter who is LGBTQ and who knitted them herself. | 0 | not toxic |

First of all, they are in the top 5% of wage-earners in Canada.
Secondly, there are plenty of young doctors waiting for secure and guaranteed jobs in Canada.
I know of several doctors here in Quebec who max out their pay week in 2 days, then travel to Ontario and the USA for even more money. Let Ontario ( and Quebec) doctors do the same if they want the extra cash, or leave!

The real takeaway is the degree to which the Dems are out of touch, and badly corrupt. These races should have never ever been this close. If anyone other than Trump (and maybe Carson) ran Clinton would have lost. Her re-election prospects don't look too good. And Caldwell is an incumbent with all the benefits of it, and has the whole party machinery behind him, and this election is close. That speaks volumes. | 0 | not toxic |

icon66,
I'm in your camp on this issue. I don't look at a zygote, a blastocyst, or an embryo as the equivalent of a human being...at least not at the early stages. I think many people endow these potential humans with the human quality of fear of death from which they want to save the "baby". It's possibly an emotional response that doesn't consider the conditions into which the baby will be born.
I'd agree that a woman has the right to chose and a responsibility to chose wisely for her sake and for the sake of the potential human being she's carrying.
Just as an aside, I think abortion ought to be available up until the 57th trimester. If I've done the math correctly, that works out to approximately 18 years old. Maybe we'd have easier times as parents. (Of course, I'm not serious.)
Finally, to those who think an embryo is a human being, I've got a bag of acorns, er, I mean oak trees, I'd like to sell them for $250,000 for the lumber they will produce. | 0 | not toxic |

I do not agree with you. The ruling gives scant justification for its issuance, certainly not the extended comments you recounted. The media says what they want.

I'd love to express my opinion regarding the mental health of the man who stands before us as "president". I cannot do so, however.

Articles such as this one remind us why it will require much more direct intervention to diminish the environmental footprint of private transport. SUVs are not cars, they are trucks and are really not needed for city driving. If our governments, federal and provincial, were really serious about meeting our targets as part of the agreements we have signed, very steep taxation should be put in place. I do not see a lot of articles about electric vehicles and hybrids in the G&M. Besides, SUV drivers progressively become more and more rude, which is something I see daily as a line up for the busiest bridge in Canada.
For information, I drive a Honda Accord Hybrid fully equipped and I get between 1100 and 1300 kms on a tank of gas. | 0 | not toxic |

Exactly what is "Islamophobia". Leave out the reference to a specific religious group and I suspect this would pass unanimously.

There should be no "excuses" needed for receiving the (often very modest) retirement that was promised in the formal offer of employment. That employment was, for many professionals, accepted at a salary well below the average with the promise that benefits, including retirement payments, would at least in part offset that low salary which, compounded over the years, is a serious loss. No one said that the legislature and others would have their eyes on your retirement funds for the duration.
Yes PERS is expensive. Everyone's retirements are expensive, as you know if you have no inheritance and have had to try save for one.
If treating people fairly and legally and keeping contracts has become a "sob story," then we're in bad shape. If the small percentage of outliers becomes a ground for state confiscation of the retirements of ordinary old folks, then we've become something really awful.
What we need are solid retirement systems for everyone, protected by law and courts. | 0 | not toxic |

I am not a natural supporter of the NDP, but if you're under the age of 40 the BC Liberals have already played a big role in sinking this province. This is true in particular via their myopic focus on real estate (follow the money!). This has made parts of this province wildly unaffordable and has led to the de-diversifying of the economy such that real estate/construction now comprises about 1/3 of GDP.

Absolutely the WORST answer on this.
Universities are supposed to get ppl to THINK. Be Critical (in the CORRECT sense, not in the common day sense) of what they see.
UNC and CU were actually converted to being conservative which is NOT correct.
What is needed is for the schools and colleges to WANT to hire ppl of differing thoughts as opposed to having everybody the same. This is most true with all of 'Liberal' Arts, Businesses, Political 'Science', etc since all of these deal more with opinion, and not as much with facts (yes, Political 'Science' is not a science and is pure BS ).
And yes, even the real Sciences have issues. Oddly, AGW which has the most arguments, has the least number of REAL SCIENTIST that argue against.
