One excellent point

A Globe article today on page 1 by Charles Radin makes the excellent point that ordination of gays is a divisive issue in many Judeo-Christian denominations besides the Roman Catholic church. The BBC missed this point entirely on “World Update” today (surprise!). The Radin article does not do well probing the underlying theological reasons for the disagreement. Instead it asks “Is homosexuality a sin or a God-given trait?”, which quite misses the central point. Posing the question this way fails to distinguish between inclination and behavior. This distinction is equally relevant to gays and straight people, whether single, married, or celibate.

Also an Op Ed piece by a law professor and former NOW executive on the Supreme Court’s 2 new abortion cases has this highly propagandistic illustration, which befits the piece. More of this same artist’s propaganda posters can be seen here.


Propaganda? Certainly not!
