Another?. . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/vatican-office-calls-gender-theory-confused-concept-guide-catholic-schools-n1015846)

". . . The Vatican office that lays down the official line for Roman Catholic educational institutions released a new document Monday that dismisses the scientifically accepted idea that gender identity is fluid as “nothing more than a confused concept of freedom in the realm of feelings and wants.”. . .

Bearing the title “Male and female he created them” and signed by the Congregation’s leaders, Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi and Archbishop Angelo Zani, the 31-page document was released as LGBTQ people around the world are celebrating pride month. . ."

". . . More than 350 years after the Roman Catholic Church condemned Galileo, Pope John Paul II is poised to rectify one of the Church's most infamous wrongs -- the persecution of the Italian astronomer and physicist for proving the Earth moves around the Sun. . . )

Slipping . . .

One enters this phase
Of a life well-prepared
When its time to just live
With less urgency; care
This step undertaken
Brings leisure; relief
And a gentle and calm
Kind of air

Now's the time to just do
All those things that before
Could not easily be done
Due to time (lack thereof)
But some care must I take
For the leisure desired
From commitments abounding
Seems to ultimately escape

Good . . .

. . . intentions . . .

. . . but misunderstanding . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/aoc-gets-it-wrong-tweet-about-manafort-solitary-confinement-n1014056)

". . . Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., sent a tweet . . . that opposed putting Paul Manafort in "solitary confinement" if he is moved to a jail in New York City. That possibility, however, appears to be incorrect. Officials told NBC News that Manafort would not be placed in a solitary unit, which is considered a punishment, but if transferred to New York would be given his own cell for his safety. . ."

. . . refreshing. . .

Looking . . .

Copyright : Gennady Kireev

. . . for security in all the wrong places . . .

(from https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/04/trump-refuses-defend-country/587887/)

". . . in his January Oval Office address on immigration. . . (Trump said) “This is about whether we fulfill our sacred duty to the American citizens we serve,” he said. “When I took the oath of office, I swore to protect our country. And that is what I will always do, so help me God.” (In fact, Trump swore to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”). . . But Trump sees tough border policy as a political winner. He sees Russian interference, meanwhile, as a political loser—and challenging it as a personal affront. Suddenly, he’s not so interested in his “sacred duty” to protect the country. . . "

Amazing . . .

. . . without any grace whatsoever . . .

(from https://www.factcheck.org/2019/06/anti-trump-protests-in-london-not-fake-news/)

". . . It’s possible Trump didn’t see the mass of protestors, as he said. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t exist, or that reports of such crowds are “fake news.”

USA Today reported that “[t]he protest route ran from London’s Trafalgar Square, past No. 10 Downing St. – Prime Minister Theresa May’s official office and residence – and on to Parliament Square, a large open green space across the street from the British Parliament.” . . . But “because of the way British police placed security barriers,” the newspaper explained, “[m]ost of the demonstrators were out of his sight.”. . .

the Guardian, a British news publication, posted a short video of interviews with some of the protestors who gathered in those locations. (It also posted a longer video of people marching and listening to speakers criticize Trump.)

ABC News and CNN also published stories including a video and photos of more than a “very small” number of protestors holding signs with messages denouncing the president. There also was a parade-sized balloon depicting Trump as a baby, and a giant statue of Trump wearing an “impeach me” hat and sitting on a toilet with a phone in his hands.

NBC News reported that “[t]ens of thousands of protesters assembled in the streets of London on Tuesday” in what it said was the “largest of more than two dozen anti-Trump protests planned around the U.K. this week.” One of the groups that organized the demonstration claimed “some 75,000 people” attended the June 4 protest. . . . If so, that wouldn’t even be London’s largest ever gathering of Trump protesters. . . . “While thousands turned out, the protests were significantly smaller than the anti-Trump demonstrations that emerged during the President’s visit to the U.K. last July,” Time reported. The magazine said that time “[a]bout 250,000 people flooded the center of London, and an estimated total of 400,000 people protested across the U.K, resulting in a large-scale police and security operation, in which more than 10,000 police officers were deployed.”

. . . the president has a habit of labeling accurate news stories as “fake news.” This is yet another example. . . "

Infinite . . .

(from The Inner Reaches Of Outer Space; Metaphor As Myth And As Religion by Joseph Campbell [from the Chhandogya Upanishad])
". . . When [in the world] one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, recognizes nothin else; that is [participation in] the Infinite. But when one sees, hears, and recognizes only otherness; that is smallness. The Infinite is the immortal. That which is small is mortal. . . Verily the one who sees this way, thinks and understands this way, takes pleasure in the Self, delights in the Self, dwells with the Self and knows bliss in the Self; such a one is autonomous (svaraj), moving through all the world at pleasure (kamacara). Thereas those who think otherwise are ruled by others (anya-rajan), know but perishable pleasures, and are moved about the world against their will (akamacara). . . "
