California’s pending crackdown on homeless crisis

by Joseph Saraceno

One possible approach: Pursuing involuntary commitment. A new state law authored by Weiner makes it easier for three counties to “conserve” — or take guardianship over — homeless people with several mental illness or substance use disorders who bounce in and out of short-term psychiatric commitments. And California voters could weigh in next year on a proposed ballot measure that would sentence homeless offenders to treatment instead of jail time. MORE

Or I think bergogliano

Image may contain: 5 people, people smiling

1-I believe in a God who created the earth (Heaven I don’t know)
2-I believe in Jesus Christ as a great prophet who was born through normal ways of a normal woman, who died because he was a revolutionary and faced the power of the Romans and Pharisees.
3-I do not believe that Jesus is risen and that is the right of God father
4-I believe the holy spirit is just a good energy
5-I believe the Catholic Church is just one more among many
6-I believe that the saints are people who have LED a life of love to the next, and can not intercede for anyone
7-I believe that the reference of sins is with personal and intimate repentance
8-I believe there shall be no resurrection of the flesh
9-I believe in life on earth without being eternal.
That’s what I believe!

This Sunday’s Gospel –  First Sunday of Advent

Again as I explained for the last Sunday after Pentecost. St Luke does not go in depth as does St. Matthew  24:34  

Luke 21:25-33
[25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;[26] Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world.

See the fig tree, and all the trees: [30] When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;

One helpful solution for the homeless

by Joseph Saraceno

One helpful solution for the homeless would be to start an adoption program like the foster care system that we have for children.At least 25% of the homeless lack sufficient funds to pay today’s rental fees.

There are plenty of single seniors who have enough room to house another person. If they so desire, they could apply with the social service people who in turn screen those homeless who apply for these services for a compatible mate. This would also be a less cost effective means to help solve the homeless problem.
