It’s one thing to disagree with the effects of Capital Punishment but another to ban any country from E.U. membership because they wish to adopt it in their country, Even Catholics are divided on the issue.
Since 1980, the USCCB has taken a strong and principled position against the use of the death penalty in the United States. We oppose the use of the death penalty not just for what it does to those guilty of horrible crimes, but for how it affects society; moreover, Pope John Paul II, in both The Gospel of Life and the revised Catechism of the Catholic Church, states that our society has adequate alternative means today to protect society from violent crime without resorting to capital punishment.

The point is not to replace the ‘patriarchy’ victimhood with a ‘feminist’ or ‘oligarchy’ victimhood. When you understand the big oil, big pharma, big agriculture, biotech, banking cartels created feminism to bleed us for more money, have less babies, & be a miserable human farm of unit movers for their benefit you can do something about it.
Your money, sex life, family, & food are controlled by these cartels. VIDEO
St. Joachim and St. Ann were both from the House of David
Saints Joaquin (sometimes spelled “Joachim,” pronounced “wal-keem”) and Anne, are the parents of the Virgin Mary. There are no mentions of them in the Bible or Gospels, what we know comes from Catholic legend and the Gospel of James, which is an unsanctioned, apocryphal writing form the second century AD.

TEL AVIV, Israel — The water that flows into Sorek desalination plant is drawn from near the Mediterranean Sea floor. Pumped inland, the water is cleansed, step by step, of salts and impurities. The transmutation does not take long. Forty minutes after entering the facility, the stuff of sailboats and sunbathers is now drinkable.
Sorek is the newest of five Israeli coastal desalination plants. A national mission in the last decade to develop the fleet, plus many more years of investment in wastewater recycling facilities, have turned Israel into as much a water producer as a water consumer. Nearly half of the country’s water supply is now manufactured, either by desalting the Mediterranean or purifying urban sewage. MORE

Catholics beware: Under this administration or Hillary’s we will have to take lower paying jobs.
