Week in Review: Rainbow Union, First Ghoul Award, Quote of the Week

Jean P. Purcell

Week's End
 My post at week's end was a tough one to get right, and I jumped too soon to publish it. However, some readers read around the disorganization and got the point. I corrected the problems. 

This post about history, marriage and rainbow union is in final form: New name for new status of same-gender unions 

Ghoul Award
The report of Planned Parenthood harvesting organs of unborn children earns Planned Parenthood (PP) a Ghoul Award because of the company's continued social and medical ethics violations.
  (Disturbing information on video) I found to be morbidly chilling the the video of a cool PP rep talking over her lunch and red wine about doing abortions with care to preserve organs for body harvesting* - -whether to "crush (the infant body) above or crush (the infant body) below."   

*Ed. Note: Such euphemisms need to be discarded.

Quote of the Week
James Willingham, writing about the Bible: 

"...a process is now beginning to take place which will restore the freedoms, the depth of thought, the wherewithal to deal with the incomprehensible future now rushing upon us, and all because the intellectual book is coming back into view among the people of this land."

"Hurting the faith"

YORK, ENGLAND - APRIL 07:  Archbishop of York ...
YORK, ENGLAND - APRIL 07: Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu submerges into a water tank a local church goer as he baptises the new Christian during an Easter Saturday ceremony on April 7, 2012 in York, England. Baptism of adults by total immersion is a symbolic ritual signifying a believer's death to their old life and a re-birth in Christ. New Christians are baptised into the faith the day before Easter Sunday which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, three days after his execution on the cross.

A CNN writer recently said, "People who call themselves Christians can hurt the faith the most." 

Really? I agree that they can cause warped perceptions or impressions.

Yet, "hurt the faith"? I think not.

Debatable human statements claiming to be "Christian" cannot help or "hurt the faith" any more than questionable statements claiming to be "scientific" can help or hurt gravity.
