Absolutely agree that Trump is being un-Christian and that the Pope is right. But, I guess I would like it to come out from the Pope in a little less harsh manner than the way that quote presented it. I mean Trump is right about some of the stuff he says also but the delivery sure could use some adjustment. Sometimes there's more to it than simply speaking the truth.

I didn't say he "can't" question someone's Christianity or that he is unqualified to do so. But, it just isn't a good look in some circumstances. As the head of the church, he should be (and I believe he is) concerned about bringing people to God and God to the people, not condemning sinners and those who may deserve some harsh words but rather showing them grace and forgiveness. I think he does a pretty good job of that. I converted to Catholicism from Lutheran about 20 years ago. I don't happen to believe that the Pope is any more "Christian" or "special" than any other human being. But, generally speaking, they do have a much better idea what it means to be Christian than the average Joe. They've lived it intimately virtually their whole life. They aren't recruiting Popes from the twice a year club.

I would agree that if the Pope questioned his faith or "Christianity" level, then the Pope was out of line. However, if you look at how the issue was presented to the Pope and his complete answer, it is more like his response was based on a hypothetical situation. He stated something to the effect that "if Trump had actually said/done these things......" It was almost as if he was not aware of Trump's position and therefore I think his response could be taken less as a specific attack on Trump's faith and more as a general statement. Not a huge difference but maybe a little better than directly stating Trump is not a good Christian which does not come off well from the leader of the Catholic Church to say about anyone. Or possibly he meant it directly for Trump......I mean Trump does have a lot of positions that would not align very well with many commonly accepted Christian positions. As far as the Pope being a pawn for Mexico, nah. He is just a lot more concerned about the downtrodden than Trump is. That's pretty much his job and the job of true Christians. Trump's job at this juncture is to say whatever will get him sound bites on the news and gather more votes from people who are fed up with the status quo but apparently don't apply more brain power than just being angry about something.

Congratulations! You kept a post under 14 paragraphs long. Good job.

"Systemic" problems of the Catholic faith? Please go on.....

Please expand upon these disagreements with much/most of what Pope Francis advocates for. I've heard him advocate for a lot of good things so I'm curious what you may be taking issue with.

So the Donald wants to risk alienating most voting Catholics......? Bold strategy Cotton, let's see how that works out. This is exactly why this a$$ should not be elected President. He may very well have some valid points on the issue but he has zero diplomatic tact. That may play well at times, on specific issues, but is this the type of dialog we want to have within the international community? It's one thing to pop off to Ted Cruz on an issue, it's quite another to respond this way with other world leaders.

If it was as simple as just hacking this one specific phone, then I would side with the government in this case. But creating software that doesn't exist or that the government or others could use to hack any iPhone.....yeah, they can go pound sand.

Just a little explanation for my no vote. I think there is room for a person to have moral issues with homosexuality without being labeled a bigot. To earn that bigot moniker, I believe takes more than what we saw from Scalia. As our priest was saying in his homily a couple weeks ago, all persons are worthy of oour love and respect but that does not mean we have to accept and condone all their behaviors and beliefs.

Moiraine- I have to agree with the others, use it all. They would probably think you were strange if you didn't. In 16 years of owning my own business, I've had one employee leave one sick day on the table.....once. Every other single personal day, sick day, vacation day, safety day, you name it has gotten used. As far as when to put in for time off etc., just ask some coworkers after you start work. The thing I wouldn't do is ask much about PTO from your boss or higher ups the first week or two. That might send the wrong message. Congrats on the job btw.

Karma has caught up to douchebag Ken twice now. It's probably too much to hope for but I'm hoping he gets his at least one more time.

They usually will run the previous episode prior to any new episode. So, worst case, you can watch it next week before ep. 2.

Time to bump this bad boy. Hello season 2......

That makes some sense. I really can't stand anything any of those guys write. Cavanaugh's articles are always so short, superficial, and just pretty much not well written. There are a dozen plus posters on HB that write much better stuff just for sh#ts and giggles. Those articles are that guys job.....at least I think they're supposed to be.

DONU is not being used to entice recruits. Hell most UNL graduates wouldn't even know what stands for. I went back in the early 80's and just figured out what donu meant a few months ago. It probably gets used on this message board more than anyplace else. I wouldn't worry about the terms being outdated and not applicable to today's youth. It is from an old song, and as such it has a place in our history. It's okay. Not everything has to be bright shiny and new. Recruits aren't seeing this and thinking NU is a square place. Golly gee willickers.

Which posters immediately threw JW under the bus? So far in this thread on HB, I have pretty much been the only one offering the benefit of the doubt to Peyton and I don't recall ever making any comments once on on the JW thing. So, I'm curious who you are speaking of while alluding to race being a possible issue.

Exactly. Virtually any case or accusation like this would seem the same way without being presented with the opposing side's version. Like I said, it wouldn't appear to be favoring Manning at this juncture but I just have trouble believing that someone who has appeared to be such a class act for such a long time could've been involved with or done such things. I'm sure we'll be seeing more on this.

That sure doesn't sound good for Peyton and the Manning family. But, I would have to see and hear the other side of the story before believing this version 100%. Something just doesn't feel right about this. It appears to be such a slam dunk deal yet it has been kept under wraps forever. Makes me wonder how and why this hasn't surfaced before now. I'm a bit skeptical.

I think these "most googled" lists are BS. I've seen a few of them now and they have some of the stupidest sh#t on them and none of the states ever have the same item listed. I mean c'mon, who searches for couples yoga or edible underwear in numbers that would deem them the most searched? I call BS.
