My wife and I were discussing the role of women in Catholicism the other day and I was trying to explain that while women may not be priests, they are undoubtedly powerful within the Church. Women can head up a Synod, they can be Mother Superior and even, as noted head of the Pontifical Academy. That is no small beer to be sure. I concur with the author that while we have different functions and roles within the church (as in life) neither is lesser in the eyes of God. Important point to remember and one often overlooked.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
