Miscellany: 4/15/16

Quote of the Day
Making the decision to have a child
it's momentous.
It is to decide forever to have your heart 
go walking around outside your body.
Elizabeth Stone

Remy is Back Spoofing the Dem Presidential Debates



Sirico On Bernie Goes To the Vatican

Fr. Sirico a former leftist, is a free market priest who heads the Acton Institute; if I don't have it on my blogroll, I'll put it there over the weekend. I don't like the low volume on this clip. Just a hint for those interested. I use a freeware product VLC to play downloaded clips, and there is a tweak to settings which will allow you to increase volume up to 3 times max. There are a number of ways to download video clips from Youtube (e.g., keepvid.com). Finally for those interested in Saint John Paul II's encyclical Centesimus Annus (the conference is celebrating its silver anniversary), see here. By the way, the Church doesn't support socialism, democratic or otherwise; and note that Francis did not meet with Bernie Sanders. Whereas Bernie may have honeymooned in the USSR, St. John Paul lived in Poland, occupied by the USSR, and was no fan of its unjust system.
