Republican Jeb Bush said in a weekend radio interview that he does not believe the Constitution grants a right to gay marriage, emphasizing his support for “traditional marriage.”
The Supreme Court is expected by the end of June to make a landmark ruling that could make gay marriage the law of the land or return the decision to individual states. MORE

Tragic Questions that faithful in India need to think over:

Average CEO pay at the biggest companies in the U.S. has been increasing at a moderate rate with the majority of wealth concentrated in fewer hands over the past several years, according to a new annual survey by the Wall Street Journal and the Hay Group. MORE
The U.S. Catholic bishops have welcomed the Obama administration’s tentative agreement aimed at limiting Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and their top spokesman on international affairs bluntly warned Congress against doing anything to undermine it.
The bishops “oppose efforts that seek to undermine the negotiation process or make a responsible multi-party agreement more difficult to achieve and implement,” Bishop Oscar Cantu, chairman of the bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace Committee, wrote to House and Senate lawmakers on Monday (April 13).

The Colorado Civil Rights Division has ruled that a baker who refused to make cakes with anti-gay messages did not discriminate.
Marjorie Silva, owner of Azucar Bakery in Denver, says she got the news on Friday but knows that Bill Jack, a Christian from Castle Rock, Colo., will likely appeal the decision.
“I’m happy that we were not just morally right but legally right,” she said in an interview with Yahoo News. “Hopefully this will lead to a better world where we are friendly to each other.” MORE

Well Mr. President; As for the Catholic Church, during the Inquisition everyone had a fair trail by the secular courts. As for the Crusaders, that was a war to free the Holy Land. It wasn’t a terrorist operation.
Professions of faith can be used both as instruments of great good but also twisted and misused in the name of evil,” President Obama told the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday, in a speech that drew light smatterings of applause. MORE
In 1966, Paul VI’s birth control commission presented its preliminary report to the pope. It held big news: The body had overwhelmingly voted to recommend lifting the prohibition on contraceptives. (The former Archbishop of Brussels, Cardinal Leo Suenens, went so far as to say the church needed to confront reality and avoid another “Galileo case.”)
Cardinal Raymond Burke, a senior American churchman in Rome who has been one of the most outspoken critics of Pope Francis’ push for reform, is roiling the waters yet again, this time arguing that the Catholic Church has become too “feminized.”
Burke, who was recently demoted from the Vatican’s highest court to a ceremonial philanthropic post, also pointed to the introduction of altar girls for why fewer men are joining the priesthood. MORE
I recently received, (late November.) in the mail. A writing pad sent to me from the Edmundite Missions of Selma, AL. It was a 4 X 7 pad with my name on the top and a lightly dim picture of an Angel and on the bottom an Annunciation quote which read. The angel went to Mary and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” At first, I thought, well, maybe they’re a protestant group, as you can see that this is the protestant version. Ours has, “Hail Full of Grace.” Well you guessed it. It was Catholic. I knew we had Biblical changes made at the council but for the most part, this was not one of them. I was disappointed to see A Catholic organization expressing this type of protestant statement on their promotional litterateur.
In our mist of filming a documentary we had a moment to have a deep conversation with Father Courtney Edward Krier. We ask him a simple question “What does it mean to be Human?” and in this short film we hear his humbling answer. MORE
Fr Krier: ‘They (same-sex couples) don’t meet the requirements because we term it ‘matrimony’ and matrimony is from a Latin word matrimonial which means ‘office of motherhood’ MORE
On reflecting on this recent school shooting by Jaylen Fryberg in the State of Washington, I noticed a similar trait that he had along with other shooters involving high school students. And that is they all seemed to have all of the material things that they need in life plus whatever is needed to be entertained.
