Please do be more careful, as the progressives will point to your lack of knowledge as a reason to disregard your pro-traditional views.

"Gender dysphoria" is as much as socio-political term as it is a medical one. The term is used in preference to "gender identity disorder". DSM-5 introduces the term "gender incongruence" as a better identifying and less stigmatising term. The cause of this condition is as yet unknown: it is psychological or psychiatric in origin and not physiological.
Are you so cavalier about the mutilation of genitalia as you are that of breasts?

610,255 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | The GOP elite failed to deliver time after time, not the Tea Party partisans. They were warned repeatedly that putting up candidates like Bush and Romney, the focus-group tested products of decades of political sausage-making, who weighed every move for the possibility of offending constituents - not the people who elected them but the people who funded them - was going to blow up in their faces.
The Democratic elite were facing a similar problem, and they ran the focus-group tested product of decades of political sausage-making.
To people who had seen their insurance, pension, and jobs disappear while the talking heads of both parties gave scripted public shows, Trump was refreshing. The wilder the comments the more they cheered, not because they believed he would do the things he said, but because by his willingness to offend anyone and everyone he was destroying the Potemkin village of our national political structure.
And he has. | 4 | Re: "So instead of punishing the Tea Party Republicans who failed to deliver, the non-college educated chose another Republican. Sorry, but even those with a high school education can figure out that's not a very smart move."
Judging by the lack of support from the GOP establishment for Trump until immediately before and after the election, and the large number of former Obama voters that voted for Trump, I don't think Trump was viewed by his supporters as "another Republican". They viewed him as the brick that they wanted to throw threw the political establishment's window.

The Commission’s job is to determine whether female deacons were the equivalent of male deacons in our history, whether both received the sacrament of Holy Orders.
Experts who answer No rely on the solid evidence that male and female deacons did different things, and therefore are not the same. Experts who answer Yes rely on the equally solid evidence that the ordination rituals for male and female deacons are fully equivalent.
Personally, the equivalency of the rituals (laying on of hands, invocation of the Holy Spirit, ordination inside the inconostasis) decides the question. The effort to denigrate female deacons because they historically did different things, would be like saying only priests who minister in parishes (versus priests assigned to teach) are real priests, or only bishops who run dioceses (versus bishops who run the Vatican or its diplomatic service) are real bishops.

Sometimes ambiguity--and attendant "confusion"--is the natural state, and demanded clarity is actually an artificial perversion of it. It's like saying "2+2=4" is clear and unambiguous dogma, ego "3+1=4" is confusing and "5-1=4" is downright of the devil.

Well, your opinion is not unprecedented. To each his own, especially in a post!
You can read the whole article in ABC RELIGION AND ETHICS, 8 Nov. 2016. Woodhead does base her research on the 2015 British Election Study, which noted that less than a third of UK people identity as Anglican, whose average age is 54; that the Anglican population plunged from 44.5% in 1983 to 19% this past year. Other studies have noted that the 2000 pre-Reformation Churches in England have fewer than 10 worshippers, and 8,000 more can barely muster 20. Also, we have the warning of the former archbishop of Canterbury, G. Carey: the Church of England is "a generation away from extinction." So I don't think her conclusions have no basis at all; her study makes good use of the GOVERNMENT charts of decline. (Gov. charts do count since the Church of England is a state church, an arm of the government.) | 4 | Professor Woodhead claims expertise and training in theology and religious studies, but does not mention sociology, or any particular current relationship with the Anglican church. She indicates that "The bulk of my work has been on the decline of the churches in the West, and the rise of alternative forms of spirituality and ‘no religion’." Of greatest significance, she offers NO empirical basis or evidence for her conclusions or predilections regarding the Anglican church!

We try to limit our membership to about 40 people because at a certain point, you wind up creating structures and duplicating the very problems we're trying to resolve. So when we get to 40 or so members, we break off a group and start again with a core of ten or fifteen.
That means we're always getting inquiries from potential new members, who often come to us with questions about their churches. As you can imagine, one of the questions we hear frequently is about the church's position on divorce and remarriage. We make every effort to not exploit the church's situation in order to get new members, but therein lies the problem: we don't know what to say is the church's position at the moment, and AL is not as helpful as we'd like. Since we don't want to exploit folks, we have to send them back to clergy we know will help them, but what happens after that? | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45366683, 45366913, 45541073, 45599480, 45449332] |

It might behoove you to start asking why others want to leave the public school system instead of having blind faith in only its ability to provide an educated society.

I'm not certainly wealthy, but I want my kid to get a better education than I did in public schools. I might be able to afford to send my kid to private school, but only just barely. The money I paid into the education system this year would help in realizing this dream I have for my kid if I got it back in a voucher that's only good for education.

Who set the stage for Trump by refusing to do anything substantive to help working-class Americans, while they sucked up to the corporations, Wall Street, the rich and the professional middle class. For more on this, see Thomas Frank's recent book "Listen Liberal". | 4 | Are you including Sanders in your lumping of Democrats and Republicans together? He votes with Democrats more often than the average Democrat, so you probably should.
"...he voted with the party more often than the average Democrat (95 percent of the time opposed to 80 percent). Keeping good to their promise, Democratic leadership gave Sanders a subcommittee chairmanship over a freshman Democrat. When he ran for the Senate a decade later in 2006, still as an independent, the party worked to stop Democratic candidates from running against him, and he was endorsed by numerous state and national Democrats."

629,761 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | The description of the rationale for using the Filoque side-steps the scriptural issue neatly but in a manner that only the elite would know. What is unfortunate is that much of Scripture is still a mystery for many Catholics. My former teacher for religious studies in college was a daily mass attender and devout Catholic-but he said and I quote: "I don't know the Bible".
The Fundamentalists have co-opted familiarity with chapter and verse, which is unfortunate, as Genesis is a theological narrative, not science. The issue is authority-and clericalism depends on the ignorance of the laity for its continued dominance.
I think, rather, that Mariology has confused the issue of the role of the Holy Spirit in the church. Yves Congar, French Jesuit commented when perusing official documents was of this wise: "Wherever I expected to find commentary on the Holy Spirit I found references to Mary." | 4 | I am relying on what information I gained from research in the theological library at the Mount. Current investigation of Orthodoxy has some Orthodox addressing the issue of Mariology in depth in a manner I find eminently rational. They consider the infallible dogmas as innovations-what the Inquisition called "novelties" when looking into St. Teresa of Avila.
The issue is not whether the Filoque can or cannot remain but why we can't get along better, if we can't agree that we all have the same Father and Jesus our savior.
I am avoiding discussing the moral issues that plague churches generally as I stay out of that arena.
I would like to see the church in Rome set an example of invoking the Holy Spirit in prayer, not just ritual incantation, before asking Mary to intercede. I am sure she would approve. She was a listener as Pentecost, as were the Apostles.
There are the words of Jesus in the Gospel of John where he says the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45256178, 45366683, 45447087, 45438681, 45448160] |

Presidential election results vote-wise The Atlantic:
James Garfield in 1880: 0.09 percentage points
John F. Kennedy in 1960: 0.17 percentage points
Grover Cleveland in 1884: 0.57 percentage points
Richard Nixon in 1968: 0.7 percentage points
James Polk in 1844: 1.45 percentage points
If the final vote count does, indeed, put her roughly 2 percentage points ahead of Trump, her margin would edge up against those of winning presidential nominees Jimmy Carter in 1976 (2.07 percentage points) and George W. Bush in 2004 (2.47 percentage points). And all this is not to mention the presidents who’ve been elected without winning the popular vote at all.

Two out of three voters in the largest state in the Union, recently ranked 6th worldwide in economic power as an independent nation, (beating out Argentina and France) voted for Hillary...our individual votes placed against those of Wyoming voters in the electoral sense are worth I/4 of the Wyoming voter.
