It used to be said
Living in interesting times
Curse not a blessing

Points to Ponder:

"A church that doesn't provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn't unsettle, a word of God that doesn't get under anyone’s skin, a word of God that doesn't touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed — what gospel is that?" [St. Oscar Romero]

Points to Ponder:

"Perhaps the Lord has called me and preserved me for this service not because I am particularly fit for it, or so that I can govern and rescue the Church from her present difficulties, but so that I can suffer something for the Church, and in that way it will be clear that he, and no other, is her guide and saviour." [Pope St. Paul VI]

Cocaine Mitch Nets 15 Judicial Appointments As Payment For Recess 

So as part of his ransom demand, the #Mitchfather not only got 15 judges confirmed this week but also 21 additional executive branch appointments. And that's not all...

"Sen. John Kennedy told reporters Wednesday that his understanding is that McConnell wants to clear all of the outstanding judicial and executive nominations during the lame-duck session and is willing to hold senators in Washington through Christmas if needed.

'He is mad as a mama wasp, and he is determined to get these nominations through,' the Louisiana Republican said. 'And I don’t think he’s bluffing'.”
