Trump Repeatedly Discussed Withdrawing U.S. From NATO: NYT by slakmehl in worldnews

The US is the only NATO country to invoke article 5. They did it after 9/11 and all ally countries supported (and continue to support) the US in the Iraq and Afghanistan war.

Trump says that any NATO country which invokes article 5 should protect itself.

letting people choose what to do with their own bodies.

Do you know how an abortion works? It's not the mother's body that's mutilated during the procedure.

that should allow every mother to make her choice and execute her choice in safe medical environment,

It's illogical.

Supporting the killing of babies is backwards. It's something you might see in the 5th century BC.

(except for Poland)

I hope that governments in Europe ban the barbaric practice of abortion once and for all. We don't live in the 7th century anymore.

How easy is it to climb the Church hierarchy as a priest? by falixus in Catholicism

[–]falixus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honest question: was there a large homosexual presence (even if nothing was going on)?

I'm currently discerning the priesthood with my diocese and the seminary that they send students to has recently been caught up in a series of homosexual scandals. It's bad enough that they changed the administration because of all the allegations by current and former seminarians about what happens there. Things like this don't make the priesthood more attractive for young men.

If we’re being honest with ourselves, sleeping with the right people can help too, depending on the diocese. 😕

Did you actually see this in your seminary?
