Will Imperfect Catholics Return?
Images
Pope Francis is paving the way for divorced Catholics to return to the Roman Catholic Church, but does little to soften the church’s strict views on hot-button topics like gay marriage, abortion and contraception.
In a 256-page apostolic exhortation called “Amoris Laetitia,” Latin for “The Joy of Love,” was a two-year process that included church councils called synods, and imput from thousands of local churches where detailed questionnaires for Catholics were used to gauge their personal opinions.
Too Late For Hillary and The Donald?
The strangest of bedfellows, Hilary and The Donald's worlds are quickly collapsing in front of their very own eyes and there's little either one of them can do now. Ted and Bernie have lots more to gain after Wisconsin.
The two damaged front runners must do well in New York to regain their momentum. Not enough to just win, he has to dominate in the polls.

Medical Technology
I am undergoing a series of medical procedures, which should answer the questions my doctors have raised recently... What's up with that?
Media marvels will be allowing hospital cameras to travel down my throat and also into my intestines for inspection (I've been assured that its not going to be the same camera) these tests, along with a scheduled cat scan ( I don't care for mean cats, or dogs for that matter) are being performed to take a closer look at my digestive system. I am told the stomach is the engine of our body.
Trump's Turing Point
America is already great. The Donald may wish to concentrate time, money and energy on making his brand great again because politically, me thinks he has managed to drag into the mud, or perhaps something worse.

Campus Free Expression
About half of college students say curtailing the news media’s access to campus events in certain scenarios, such as when protesters want to be left alone 48 percent, when they believe a reporter will be biased 49 percent, and when they want to tell the story themselves on social media 44 percent, according to the findings in a a new Gallup Poll.
The survey says 75 percent of students think colleges should expose students to all types of speech and viewpoints, but a majority of students believe campus climates prevent many from saying what they believe to avoid offending others.
Make Love, Not War

Loving humans have been fighting with each other and hurting one another for thousands of years and it has to stop. Too many humans act like savages, or is it that the life of mankind is destined to be a nasty fight?
Anthropologists have argued that organized warfare didn't come about until political hierarchies rose to power. They say war emerged after the agricultural revolution, when fat cats owned more resources than needed, and they felt it was worth fighting for.
