Original post: John Paul II’s Case Against Cohabitation By CATHOLIC NEWS AGENCY | A new study touting the “benefits” of cohabitation is based on deeply flawed ideas about human nature and fulfillment, according to a leading scholar on the social role of families. “It’s garbage in, garbage out,” said Scott Yenor, the Boise State University political science professor whose book Family Politics: The Idea of Marriage in Modern Political … … Original post: John Paul II’s Case Against Cohabitation Go directly to: Vatican II and the Two Ends of Marriage A Catholic couple that I know went to a pastor to arrange for marriage. They had mentioned to friends and relatives that for various reasons they had no intention of having children, and they made this known to the pastor when he asked. Originally posted here: Will Catholics Flee Obama over HHS Mandate? Tom , you’re not the only one to step away from the blog for a while and return to find you’ve missed out on a lively discussion. I’ll chalk up my absence to a very busy legislative season here in the People’s Republic of Washington, where lawmakers are rushing to change the definition of marriage rather than deal with the $2 billion budget deficit, the stagnant local economy, high unemployment, the deteriorating transportation infrastructure, underfunded public employee pensions, or… Funny thing about an election year — normally the Democrats would just pay cash to beef up support from their favored interest groups, but the state treasury is drier than this morning’s martini. All that’s left are the base-energizing freebies like redefining marriage, banning plastic grocery bags, forcing private insurance companies to pay for abortion, and a host of other circus events lawmakers have designed to keep voters distracted from their procrastination on serious fiscal problems. Good thing that doesn’t happen at the federal level. I was pleased to see Thomas Peters’ running tally of bishops who have spoken out against the Department of Health and Human Services’ mandate forcing employers to pay for contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization. The number is up to 145 as of this posting. Certainly it’s refreshing to see such outcry, though as they say in marketing, it all depends on your target audience. If the bishops are aiming their statements at their flocks, the more revealing tally would be the number of Catholics who don’t much care what the bishops have to say about anything of moral gravity, particularly below the waist. … Originally posted here: Will Catholics Flee Obama over HHS Mandate?
