You don't get it. The question is not really "Should divorced and civilly remarried people receive communion?"
The question is really, "How do Catholics know what Christ wants them to do?"
The official answer has been for almost five hundred years that the faithful learn the will of Christ from the Magisterium of the Church. Specifically, something that has been taught by all bishops ever since the time if Christ is considered to be known to be part of the original teaching of Christ, transmitted by the apostles.
So the real question is whether the Pope thinks this principle should be done away with; and if so, whether it's really a good idea to do away with it; and if so, is this something the Pope can even decide.
Everybody has sympathy for the divorced and civilly remarried. But a lot of people think abandoning a fundamental epistemological principle should not be done by deliberate obfuscation and ambiguity. | 0 | not toxic |

That's a good question. Probably because the press is lazy.
If the man and the woman in this relationship have no legal ties to each other, then the two children don't either.
But calling them step siblings is an easy shortcut to convey to the public that the 15 year old and the 10 year old have kind of, sort of a relationship between each other because of their respective parents' romantic and/or physical relationship.
In fact, I'd rate laziness as a sin of the press that's far more prevalent than outright bias. | 0 | not toxic |

I detect a whiff of optimism in this column, but Sarah K. may have a point. As things are going now, Trump's unhinged statements about white supremacists, etc., will make it more and more difficult for establishment Republicans to continue to tolerate / support him. It is at least possible, if not likely, that the GOP will have to act---probably by impeaching Trump---before the 2020 election (and possibly before the 2018 mid-term congressional elections). When this happens it's going to tear the Republican party apart as Trump's core supporters exact their revenge; which is precisely why it hasn't happened yet.

Trump and the Pope together: Candidate Trump declared, “I will make absolutely certain religious orders like The Little Sisters of Poor [who the pope visited in the US] are not bullied by the federal government because of their religious beliefs" about contraception. The pope said: “Migrants should be treated according to certain rules, because migration is a right, but one which is highly regulated ... And if a country is only able to integrate 20 [refugees], let’s say, then it should only accept that many. If another is able to do more, let it do more,” he said. His Sect. of State Cardinal Parolin congratulated Trump: "The future leader has already spoken like a leader.” Trump and the Pope also agree on abortion and denying LGBTQI persons equal right. | 0 | not toxic |

But I sure agree with you about those g-ddam sea lions and the Portland micro-brew wienies who snivel over them.

It's up to the Republicans who hold the majority in both houses. In the Nixon mess, 11 Republicans saved the country when they decided the right thing to do, for the country, was to not protect Nixon from impeachment. In today's congress it would require two dozen Republicans in the House of Representatives and about 10 in the Senate, to do the same. The issues are clear as day, and growing every day. Will enough Republicans put country ahead of party? I have my fingers crossed. | 0 | not toxic |

Your right about "Quebec ban on face coverings a blatant violation of religious freedom" but it is about time the brakes were put on over religious freedom. The Quebec ban was for security to be able to identify people for Law and Order and should be right across Canada as Prime Minister Stephan Harper was going to do. There must be limits to Religious freedom when some extremist Religions people are not promoting a safe Quality of life and easy identification of themselves for witnesses of crime to tell police or employees to identify them for credit card fraud and many other situations where a good description of someone is very useful to enhance our Canadian way of life. | 0 | not toxic |

And once again, you intentionally miss the point of owning your own vehicle. Freedom of choice! You choose your time of travel, your route of travel, your companions, (or none), your music (or none) the cleanliness of your companions, all those things which are dictated by those who are attempting to force people to use a mode of transportation that those ‘in charge’ think is best. (Not the one that those doing the forcing use themselves, of course). Buses are for the ‘little people’.
LTD managers for example, are too important to use the bus to go about their daily business. They arrive at bus accidents in LTD provided vehicles, even though the bus routes could get them there. They attend meetings about the city using LTD vehicles, not the bus. They could plan ahead and use the bus, but that is too difficult for such busy important people. The ‘little people’ can easily do it, of course.

While I understand how badly you want smashed hard drives to be proof of guilt, the fact is, destroying (shredding, drilling, or smashing) old hard drives is on every IT (Information Technology) 'best practices' list. The same goes for smart phones, tablets, etc.
The goal is to prevent proprietary/sensitive data falling into who knows who's hands.
This has been standard practice ever since a number of companies/governments, 10+ years ago, were auctioning off old computers with the hard drives intact, and the purchasers of the equipment claimed ownership of the data. | 0 | not toxic |

You are quite mistaken. Members of the cabinet, such a Cabinet Ministers and Prime Ministers, exercise in addition to legislative power, executive power.
Executive power is the setting of policies and directing departmental budgets.
Furthermore, they are privy to confidential information, which could be of value in commercial and market transactions.
For example, if someone knew that the government has a plan to invest in a particular area, and had bought real estate there in advance at a lower price with this knowledge - or alternatively if they influenced policy to serve a region where they owned real estate.
If they knew that a decision would affect the stock price of a certain industry and shorted their stock position - also known as insider trading.
However, if their assets are in a "blind trust", then presumably all their investments are at an arm's length - and they do not know where their assets are invested and cannot influence the investment. | 0 | not toxic |

Fair enough. However, I would be interested in one or more of them explaining in detail why it was appropriate, even commendable, for
1. the Chretien and Harper Governments to aid the US Government to submit Khadr to a decade of incarceration without due process, including torture. (Would this be appropriate if it were another Canadian minor or adult in similar or other circumstances?)
2. the Justice Department to drag out a lost cause (i.e. liability for damages issue) before the courts given that this (a) would be a misuse of the courts and of the Department's duty to the courts and the Canadian people not to abuse the judicial system, and (b) would waste the resources of the justice system and increase the amount ultimatly awarded Khadr. | 0 | not toxic |

It sounds like the Board has subcontracted the management of AGDC to LNG America. If so, just let them handle all the office issues and stop micro-managing the new guy.
It sounds like the new President isn’t a State of Alaska employee (not shown on State’s website). So is he still an employee of LNG America that you have contracted with for management services?

Does Mr. Meyer have a clear context of the who and what responsibilities he has?

You're doing good work! Understanding Catholic marriage laws and how they mesh with civil laws is a daunting task and in many respects does not produce clarity, if only because it can't!

You are comparing the costs of premiums, to the cost of running a hospital. Premium costs went up because A LOT more people have healthcare now than did before and that now includes a lot of people with a lot of pre-existing conditions.
Again, the fact is, charity health costs that hospitals pay under Obamacare, have gone DOWN. That is a fact. Sorry if that does not fit in your narrative, but thats just what it is. What that specific hospital charges for its services is dependent on that specific hospital. Unless that hospital is in a group with set expenses (like Kaiser, for example), your medical costs could be very different depending on which hospital you go to. Saving $2million in "charity expenses" does not all of a sudden mean that your ER visit is going to cost $50 less than what you were paying before. Thats not how it works. The fact that you think thats how these things work only proves you just gobble up GOP talking points and dont do any research on your own. | 0 | not toxic |

I would disagree with the Register-Guard even if they made recommendations that agreed completely with my own. I did not disagree with their right to make recommendations, only their self serving interest and lack of objectivity by doing so. I would prefer a newspaper that refrains from being a naked purveyor of influence in their reporting and even opinions, as it undermines my trust in their objectivity. Back in the day when we still went to the polls to vote, I would see people carrying the R-G's recommendations with them, sheep that they were. The R-G does it every election, and not as a service to anyone but themselves because they know many lazy voters will fall for it. If I (or anyone else) were to present them with an op-ed list of my recommendations and ask them to print it in the same edition, do you suppose they would? If not, why not? That's right, it might diminish their own influence, and that matters to them. Shameful journalism. | 0 | not toxic |
