521,609 | [1, 0, 0, 0, 0] | Excellent comment, "justmaybe." Too many in the hierarchy believe that the only way to achieve the # 4 answer is that: 4 + 0 = 4 [the hierarchy tell Catholics what to think '4' and the laity say '0' and obey]. | 5 | What is an "erroneous judgment of conscience"?
That term could be--philosophically and theologically--an oxymoron that demeans and degrades the rigors and efforts of authentic "judgment." I think the archbishop seeks and values effortless "conscience conforming," not rigorous judgment.
"Judgment," used correctly by clergy or by laity, should value, not mock, a process of intellectual rigor, study, magesterial teaching, analysis, broad expertise, prayer, education, and experience.
In Amoris Laetitia, the Pope is saying 3+1 can equal 4; that 6-2 can equal 4; that 1+3 can equal 4....and the media have reported that. Alas, many clergy bemoan that the Pope didn't exclusively hammer: "2+2=4," and they lament what they see, erroneously, as (with "ambiguity" the new dirty words) "confusion." And as Archbishop Chaput says, "Confusion is of the devil."

The party was a reunion for a group of six women, including Mary Jo Kopechne, known as the "boiler-room girls", who had served Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign.

I agree with you, but I might take it one step further here. I think where the church has gotten itself tangled up is in the transition between how jesus lived, and the concept of "commands" of or by Jesus.

Why not be part of moving Alaska and America forward? | 4 | Don Neal, I am certainly no fan of Donald Trump but I have to point out the hypocrisy in the over the top sexual misconduct of Bill Clinton which is pretty much just fine with many, but not the sexual misconduct of Donald Trump, which pales in comparison to the former president.
Certainly the former First Lady knew more or was more involved than she pretends.
I've heard concerns about what kind of Presidency Trump might bring to the sacred halls of the White House concerning women. That is the height of hypocrisy after Bill and his cigars in the "Oval Office", or should we say, "Oral Office", or "Ovulating Office"?

"Though the ecclesial Communities which are separated from us lack the fullness of unity with us flowing from Baptism, and though we believe they have not retained the proper reality of the eucharistic mystery in its fullness, especially because of the absence of the sacrament of Orders..."
Why should Lutherans be "enraged" that Dominus Iesus relegated them to "ecclesial communities" when so did Vatican II?

The fatigue was not about Harper's personality - well, maybe a little - it was his almost willful pettiness and lack of aspirations for Canada. I think Canadians simply got tired of the incessant fear mongering, and realized that their ambition exceeded that of their PM. "We can do better" can be a simple but powerful tonic against a government that largely failed to inspire its citizens. | 4 | Mr Caplan is missing the plot.
The Conservatives lost the 2015 election largely because of fatigue with Stephen Harper. The "mean" and "bigoted" policies that Caplan is on about were blown far out of proportion by the media, who were as fatigued with Harper as the rest of us and who had gone all ga-ga over Trudeau. To be sure, Kellie Leitch and Chris Alexander are casualties of that; in Alexander's case he just finally snapped at the smear job the media were doing --- understandable, but probably fatal.
Caplan has carefully tiptoed past the presence of Erin O'Toole and probably Lisa Raitt in the leadership contest. Both of them are a match for anyone on the Liberal front benches --- especially Trudeau --- and more importantly, represent a pragmatism that Caplan is trying to pretend does not exist in the Conservative party.

How many people are in Alaska in July?
How many people are in Alaska in December?

538,594 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | I can of course only speak for myself, but as a voter who typically (but not always) votes Conservative, I would have happily voted Liberal last year if someone like Garneau or even Hall-Findlay had been leader. Both are accomplished and experienced and, while a little short on charisma as compared to Trudeau, have more credibility and trustworthiness as leaders inside and outside of politics. Combined with the relatively strong Liberal MP candidate in my riding (now a Cabinet minister), my Liberal vote would have been locked up. As it is, I voted NDP as I feared a Liberal majority with Trudeau at the helm. | 4 | "Michael Chong has also thrown himself into the fray. But in Conservative terms, he’s the real outsider. Since he brings to the fight good sense and some modern ideas, he should be counted out from the start."
I think the problem with very intelligent, serious, earnest candidates like Chong is that they fail to generate enthusiastic support, even among their fellow MPs. They aren't perceived as leaders, however sensible they may be.
This was one of the reasons Conservative partisans pretended to support the accomplished but relatively uncharismatic Marc Garneau in the run-up to the Liberal leadership convention, and why they expressed fake regret that he had lost to Trudeau ("I would have considered voting Liberal under Garneau" was a common theme before last year's election). They knew perfectly well which of the two was the more dangerous opponent.

(1) Felis catus is a selectively-bred, ruthlessly culled, debased, domesticated animal that NEVER existed in nature. Definitely NOT non-GMO.
(2) Proof is that it has driven its own wild forebear F. sylvestris to the very brink of extinction by displacing it through human-engendered superior numbers, infecting it with FIV and other domesticated feline diseases and genetically swamping it--there are only 19 F. sylvestris left in the UK. They're already extinct. They just don't know it yet.
(3) F. catus is physically smaller, has significantly reduced cranial capacity and is therefore less intelligent and more dependent, less territorial, breeds 3-4 times more often, and has a significantly longer gut (an adaptation for human-proffered low protein diets) than its wild ancestor.

(Official Catholic Response to the Joint Declaration)
The response points out that the condemnations of Trent still apply against Lutheran doctrines. Catholics believe in an interior transformation through the infusion of God's grace by the sacraments - a renewal and sanctification of the interior man. We also believe that man has to cooperate with God's grace. Lutherans believe God imputes grace, covers sin and that grace is irresistible.
As one Lutheran stated: "In fact, the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is a fraud. It was a sell-out by revisionist Lutherans to Rome."
https://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2010/03/a-betrayal-of-the-gospel-the-joint-declaration-on-the-doctrine-of-justification | 4 | The Council of Trent was not an ecumenical council. It did not include bishops from the Eastern Church. It was small and limited to a select group of bishops which the Pope chose because he only wanted those bishops who agreed with him.
In 1530, when the Augsburg Confession was written, it was completely in line with the theology of the undivided church. There was nothing heretical about it. Calling a "council" of selectively chosen bishops in 1545 who were there only to oppose the Lutherans can't produce infallible teaching. Plus, there was no definition of what was and was not infallible teaching until Vatican I.
And--the Joint Declaration on Justification has thrown away the anathemas at Trent. Plus, Declaration on the Way has shown that much of what Trent said was based on misunderstandings and was time-bound.
