Yes, if the priest does not counsel the person who is involved with any sinful behavior. That is his job, not to disregard the elephant in the room. No different than a parent raising his child who is committing improper behavior. Should the parent just dialog with his young son who was just involved with stealing, without attempting to addresss and change the behavior?

"..I didn’t lie awake during the Cold War—both sides were too sensible. But when you are dealing with the Iranians, I don’t know." Certainly very worrisome and needs to be closely and tightly monitored. But now that they are close allies of Russia, this will be much harder. Obama was fooled, Iranians cleaned his clock. World far more unstable and dangerous thanks to Obama.

Yesterday Premier Philippe Couillard came out against a plan to build a new suburb near Montreal for Muslims only, saying it runs counter to Quebec’s values. Is there anything wrong with developers providing devotees of the one true god with affordable rent-to-own housing which pays lip-service to the Koran's prohibition against paying interest and which limits their contact with those who would corrupt them, Christians in particular, as demanded by Allah? http://boreal.ca/Koran/Friends.htm I am sure any English-Canadian politician, with the exception of Ms. Leitch, will tell you that this all in keeping with Canadian values, nothing to worry about.

I'm an "old person," too and I think you entirely missed Ransom's point. By making it about her age, there is a subtle insinuation that most people this age could't do what she just did. That's nonsense. Ever heard of Norman Vaughan? Most people, in general, couldn't do what she just did. Why single out her age.

Ethical legislative leadership (or leadership who wasn't completely tone deaf) would strongly discourage this committee assignment just because of the "optics" let alone the very real potential for undue or even unintentional influence. One of my favorite bits of hypocrisy from the legislature is the conflict of interest ceremony they perform when, before a vote, one of them dutifully declares a conflict of interest and then are "required" to vote.

Steven Lyons - So I take it you're absolutely fine with all the big cities deciding every presidential election? You see, the Founders understood that geographical diversity was important. People in cities have different values than people in exurban areas. So, they created the Electoral College to provide some regional balance. And, that is still how that works. If you look at the county map for the 2016 election, you see that it was a triumph for suburban and rural areas. Clinton carried only the cities. Heck, only 18 states have a Democratic-controlled legislature and governor. Get rid of the EC and those areas no longer have any say in the presidential election. We become Panem, with the capital(s) dictating our society and the rural areas subjugated to our "betters". Forget that the rurals provide everything that cities require to survive. We aren't smart enough to make the more important choices of society. Alaskans, of all people, should resist any move to get rid of the EC.

NOT EVERYONE IS IN TROUBLE IN AFRICA Someone asked on Spectrum, "Why isn't GC talking about taking over unions in Africa that make allowance for polygamy on a selective basis?" Well, I was just told that if those tribal chiefs pay 10% of tithe for each wife, there will be "no grave consequences." The problem remains, though, for those who have 11 or more wives, since they will always be in violation for not paying their dues. I heard that at the end of the AC next week, the "GC Purifiers," represented by TW , will propose to demote the violators from the status TRIBE to status MISSION. The AC agenda will be modified by a vote on Monday, allowing for the meetings to be extended for one extra day, to give participants enough time to discuss if the "grace period" should be one year, or if they should get "double grace," i.e., two years to get rid of the extra (above 10) wives.... (which may require a special offering...) I wish the best luck to the Chiefs.....

The 2011 Canadian voter turnout almost matches the Kenyan turnout this week. Yet you would not have said that the PM lacked a mandate & called for a 3rd election.Why is Kenya different?(1)As a hack for Odinga, your only road to victory is exhausting the electoral process then negotiating a power sharing deal (as Odinga had in 2008). (2)You say the West shouldn't wag fingers, but you call on Canada do that &more- envisioning a saviour that will ride in and save the good folk from big bad African presidents. How do you,or Canada,know what Kenyans want? A few chats with uber drivers & bartenders doesn't make u an expert. Kenya does not need a foreign saviour! Western interference in African elections has never resulted in positive outcome for the working class. So we'll go thru the messy process of democracy ourselves, and chart our own future. I'm no fan of Odinga or Uhuru- Both rep repressive political dynasties and play tribal politics. They shouldnt now bankrupt Kenya with elections

Time to remove all exemptions for religions for denial of human rights. Religions created by humans to rule over other humans have sat in positions of power within government for too long. All citizens, institutions, and organizations within this nation must follow the Constitutional protections contained within the Bill of Rights. Denial of human rights must be prosecuted as criminal. The past and current criminal activities within religion violating every aspect of human rights and decency removed any claims of spiritual eminence representing an invisible power unproven to even exist. Let freedom truly ring throughout the land.

I was replying to GayFordhamPrepGrad who accused Festing of lying to Boeselager. I replied suggesting that it might have been Boeselager who was lying. You intervened saying that I "was out on a limb there." I asked why, because there is no corroboration of Boeselager's accusation. Then you suggested that I ought to substantiate my 'accusation/suggestion'. It was neither an accusation nor a suggestion it was just to serve as an illustration that it was as much a possibility that Boeselager was lying as it was that Festing was lying. Most posters here consider on the www both Festing and Burke to have lied without any evidence that they have yet you don't take them to task, tell them it is unseemly and unchristian.

Why does Ms. Wente always see the glass half-empty? Not satisfied with complaining about political correctness, or what she sees as dangerous progressive ideas, now she has expanded to attack nature and the wilderness. The "excessive romanticization of nature" is a product of glossy brochures marketed to urbanized populations who lost touch with it. But the effectiveness point to our innate yearnings, and the true nature of our selves: we are animals, we are products of nature despite whatever warped ideas we may produce at times, so we always end up being drawn to it. But it seems that some only want the visuals of beautiful sunsets under expansive skies, the soothing quiet of majestic forests but are otherwise not prepared to accept the inconvenience of uneven ground, cold and rain, nor risk. Those only want to take benefits for themselves, don't accept things for what they truly are, both good and bad. No perspective, no tolerance, no sense of responsibility. They just troll.

And that is why you don't get it, Richard Rhyner. You equate a criminal action with accidental one. That incident on Diamond, the cyclist did not cause the accident. He was part of it but it was mutual. We all have driven the road where a cyclist is moving against the traffic but that don't give us the right to slammed into him. The fact the driver was impaired made her an impaired driver. Where you and I would avoid the cyclist.....she could not. She was breaking the law and that is where you are stuck in the box. You think people who break the law are not accountable if the share of the incident is mutual. Standards are different, Richard, when a human life is at stake.

The White House says that the president's remarks to stop the violent "includes white supremacists, KKK, Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups." Well, of course it does, it should. What Trump did not do was to place the responsibility of starting the violence on those neo-Nazis and white supremacists who traveled from different parts of the country to Charlottesville for the express purpose of defending white Nationalism. What Trump did not do was to exclude the peaceful protesters from that responsibility of starting the violence. Their reaction to the neo-Nazis could only be considered "violent" if you deny them the right of self-protection. Everyone knows this. Which is why Trump looks so diminished, so small a man, today.

Miter, On a small island, bad development that doesn't comply with rational planning principles and makes tons of money for developers will always outpace needed infrastructure.

However, there's no indication that bad development will cease or even slow down. Koa Ridge, with 3,500 homes, was recently approved for Central Oahu.
