I don’t know about that, but “This is not Constitutional,” said Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, who was a co-sponsor of a resolution trying to block any military action in Iran without Congress authorizing it.

The US attacks Iran. This post is not about the merits of Iran's nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb a country that does not pose an imminent threat to US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense. Contact your Senators and Representatives now.

We need a theology of abundance www.ncronline.org/opinion/gues...

This is a great article by Dan Horan, an ex-priest who has taught in many capacities, including at Catholic Theological Union and St. Mary’s near Notre Dame.
We need a theology of abundance
The scarcity mindset is governed by fear and self-interest, but a theology of abundance more closely aligns with the life, ministry and preaching of Jesus Christ in the Gospels.
