You're right Valiuth on the leash. I expect Cat 2.0 to be cordless and blue tooth enabled for wireless control. If not, the dude's just not trying hard enough.

Where can I find a woman like that?

So, you have a large group of active parishioners, bringing life and money into the parish. That's all well and good but we have lost our way of putting unity into the community.

Anecdotally, both English and Spanish communities have, in some cases, stated a wanting to come together. To help with this, parishes will offer  bi-lingual Masses but they just don't work in any long term sense.

I believe the right thing to do is to offer a Latin Mass where everybody comes together and struggles together. In this, the communities will start to form bonds of trust that will lead to a more cohesive Church, locality and country. Within this, the Catholic Spanish community can learn more about conservative principles rather than from the secular left that has successfully gathered them under their wing.

It's no guarantee, but what's happening now isn't working.

Your quote, "Catholic churches manned by radical left-wing priests", has the wrong qualifier. Instead of "radical left wing priests", I think you can simply state the US Catholic Church. The fact is, the Church does have a vibrant Spanish language community, both here legally (easily 2nd and 3rd generations) and illegally. They bring a wonderful faith and tradition. In most parishes (in California anyhow and I'm guessing throughout the country) you can find a Spanish Mass being offered, with some parishes having multiple offerings on Sundays.

I believe this is a legacy from a misinterpretation of Vatican II. But the result is, each parish has 2 communities (English and Spanish).

Over time, the Spanish communities have become very vibrant and, in some cases, more so than the English speaking community. I think the priests, in an effort to better serve, have accommodated in ways you wouldn't see in any other country.

In addition, is the money that comes from the Spanish community. This is real to every parish because they have expenses just like everybody else. They are all self-reliant, meaning no money comes from Rome to help purchase and install a new sound system.

I think O knows global warming, now climate change, is garbage. The left just uses it to push through legislation to control behaviors.

It will take a generation of libs to let this go. They're too much invested in it to date. They've been working on this since the mid 70's when they said we were entering into the next great ice age. Ooops.

He'll never leave the Senate to become president. Not with his Arafatism of saying one thing in English and something else in Spanish. Another trust bites the dust. See ya.

You should read the executive summary (pages 2-6 of the study, not of the pdf) and then go to page 13 as Joseph noted above.

I think you'll find some answers.

One answer to a question nobody has asked: Don't move to Alaska.

Thanks for the find. I clicked on one link to the USCCB website and the doc "couldn't be found". I assumed they took it down. I'll take a look in a bit.

Both commentaries are based on a study conducted by John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

So what are you saying?

You should click on that 2004 US Dept Of Ed. report link.

Comments and jokes are part of it. I'm guessing in some cases they lead to an escalation of sorts.

9.6% is high, yet you hear nothing of it. Could it be they get political cover because of teacher unions?

Something you 2 might be interested in regarding abuse rates, real and perceived.

Lucky Charms. And of course served with Guinness.

Bring it!

Note to the Republicans:

I will never vote for Jeb Bush. Under any circumstances. We are not a pseudo-monarchy. No more Bushes. On this Barbara Bush had it correct.

And with the revelations over the past 2 weeks, I will no longer consider Christie as a last resort or any other establishment Republicans.

I am done with the all things Rhino. No more money, no more votes, no more anything. A sea change is coming. You will not be part of it.

That is all.
