I don’t know anything about this guy, but in a free society religious organizations don’t seek authorization from state authorities to hold events on their premises. The city seems to be saying that it wants to apply a values test to religious communities hosting private events.

Increasingly think this is true, especially in the younger grades. Teachers are paid to interact with children, not set them up on iPads and turn them loose. Kids get enough of that at home. Let's re-envision school as a refuge from technology, a place to learn how to be human.

This is the good man who also once offered himself in exchange for Israeli children held hostage. Bloodthirsty fanatics insist that we choose a side to hate, that we demonize either the Jewish people or the Palestinian people. The cardinal sets an example by refusing to do so

On the bright side it's a pretty cool-looking certificate card.

It’s a bit too much like Idi Amin’s dark quip: 'There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.'

There are very few good excuses for a tank to shell a church, and even fewer when that church hosts about 500 civilians who are taking shelter from months of bombing.

There's a growing trend in US right-leaning pop culture I find really worrying, of taking pride in carelessly alienating entire nations for little to no gain, and assuming you will forever have the power and goodwill to pay no price when it next comes time to ask favours
