Grandfather

vs aunt

The Democratic Family Gathering

The current Democratic Party and debates remind me of going to a family gathering. One candidate seems to be the grandfatherly type who loved you as a child, still cares about your well-being, gave you straight answers when you asked him some of life's toughest questions, and seems annoyed when he has to deal with stupidity. The other candidate appears to be the aunt who occasionally comes to family gatherings. She's nice enough, and very competent, but you don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling around her. She talks a lot about her career and what she has done. The family knows not to mention her husband's philandering when she is around. She remained the "good wife" and didn't divorce him years ago. Some family members think that she made that choice to further her own career.

POTUS and Pope

A bit of foot stomping has developed between POTUS candidate Trump and the Pope. The Pope thinks Trump is tottering on the edge of the Christian faith -- maybe about to fall into the well of unbelief. Trump counters, No, but adds that if ISIS attacks the Vatican the Pope would be glad if Trump were POTUS. The Pope does need to remember history. The history of the Europe especially of the Century 7-10 -- in that period of time the doctrine of the church was altered and supported by the Pope. Will the church again be subverted? Thank you.
