United States

Rich or poor Catholic countries are the most accepting of sexually active homosexuals according to a Tuesday report in the Pew Research Center. Among nine countries where gay acceptance is at least ten points higher than one would predict based on income alone, seven are predominantly Catholic. Those countries are Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Italy, Philippines and Spain. The biggest outperformer on gay acceptance is the Philippines. The countries who most clearly condemn the sin of homosexuality are Islamic.

Ohio State University president Gordon Gee has cancelled his commencement speech set for Saturday at Catholic St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus. Last year Gee, a Mormon, made inflammatory comments about Catholics – quote: “You can't trust those damn Catholics." Now, he cancelled the speech because he wanted to ensure that the appropriate focus was kept on the young people who are graduating. Gloria.tv wonders why there is a problem with Mr. Gee. With respect to Catholic hierarchy, he was merely stating the obvious.

People have wondered why the pope does not genuflect in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Some have expressed the opinion that Francis may have a medical problem with his knees. But this picture – published on the blog of the Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli - clearly shows that Francis as a Cardinal was still able to genuflect, at least, in front of men.

Sister Mary Assumpta, the Cleveland based, habit-wearing, cookie-hawking and Indian-loving nun has left religious life in order to pursue a ministry with the dying in Oregon. Now she calls herself Maryhelen Zabas. She became a nun when she was 17 and would have celebrated 50 years religious life with the Sisters of the Holy Spirit on July 16th. Many know her from the celebrity as the Tribe fan in the movie Major League where she wore her habit and a Cleveland Indians jacket. She also brought cookies to the players for good luck and her religious order later launched the Nun Better cookie line, baking the cookies fresh in the convent kitchen. Zabas will now, for the first time, live alone in a one-bedroom apartment and she is driving the first car she ever owned, a Chevrolet Sonic.

I don't get it. Why would the Pope necessarily have to genuflect in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Isn't he Peter's successor. When the Holy Sacrament was instituted, Peter and the other apostles were seated, having a meal together.

The Church is the Body of Christ and the one Jesus entrusted to be its legitimate leader must act like Jesus himself. Hence, according to John's gospel, one chosen by God can is called friend: "You are my friends if you do what I command" Jn. 15, 14-15 We can clearly see in the news that Pope Francis kiss the foot of a young infirm. Can he behave like a friend since he follows what the Lord commands, since he follows what the Lord did? Is there anyone who genuflects in front of a friend?

Ohio State President Gordon Gee has just resigned his position. Imagine for a moment if his remark about Catholics was more 'inclusive'.
“Let me tell you about those damn black players/and gays/and Muslims on our team. You can never trust any of those degenerates. Just a bunch of gangsta thugs/fudge packers/rag head moose limbs, running around on the field like a bunch of monkeys on crack and off …More

“Let me tell you about those damn black players/and gays/and Muslims on our team. You can never trust any of those degenerates. Just a bunch of gangsta thugs/fudge packers/rag head moose limbs, running around on the field like a bunch of monkeys on crack and off the field they're just interested in bangin' their home gurls/butt romancing/or suicide bombing. We should just get white players from now on. Ha, ha, ha! No offense meant, folks!"

...But if you watch the film where he gets on his knees at the prison, there is a man on each side of him helping him down. It looks like he can't get down on his own. (I'm speaking about our Pope.)
