Why does it seem like traditional clergy and Trad Inc members always offer a "pass" for women while excoriating men? I think modern men are horrible, myself, but women REALLY take the cake. What do you think?
Bebo’s FriendsNo limits to mobilization: A hearse driver was taken away right in the middle of a job. Since the vehicle's keys remained in his pocket, the grieving family was forced to remove the coffin from the locked vehicle themselves and transport it to the cemetery in their own car.
Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer.

I don't really care except Jordan and Lebanon and Syria - those are ours.

That trend is real: Reuters reported that Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party is gaining support among younger and first-time voters ahead of Tuesday’s election. geopolitics_prime
Carlson: Epstein Files point to crimes ‘at scale’ covered up by people in power The Epstein files contain cryptic references to “pizza” and “grape soda,” says Tucker Carlson, questioning why the Justice Department has not investigated what the euphemisms meant.

Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.
