Davis and Grassi: Spinning the News at the Vatican Press Office

Hilary White has a terrific article about the pope's meeting with Kim Davis, the evil clerk who refuses marriage licenses to a same-sex couples, and the pope's homosexual former student and friend, Yayo Grassi. Read it. If nothing else, it reveals the absolute nonsense at the Vatican press office. We think that helps explain the statement that the "smoke of Satan" has entered the Church. Obviously, from the junk coming out of the press office, they are smoking something!

Now that the Synod is Over the Spin is On

Actually it started even before the Synod started with dissent groups all over the world writing letters and organizing their own alternative synod in Rome through Catholic Church Reform International (CCRI) formed in June 2013. CCRI is a coalition of over a hundred dissent groups around the world (CORPUS, Call to Action, We Are Church, Women's Ordination Conference, Roman Catholic Womenpriests USA, Voice of the Faithful, American Catholic Council, Loretto Women's Network, etc.). Although I know they are not particularly orthodox at the national level, I was surprised to see The National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) included as a support group with a link to their president, Rebecca Woodhull I plan to contact my bishop on that one!
