Bravo for the state of Utah!, doctors in the UK regarding euthanasia and assisted suicide and the North Dakota bishops who appear to “get it” much more than most about what the most crucial “social justice” issues are, by far, today.

Yesterday, we referred to our editorial response to last week’s National Post article on the Fr. Gravel lawsuit, but a technical bug resulted in it not being included in the stories that were sent. Interesting. So…. let’s try it again today.

It is interesting that today there is another story about a prominent priest with problematic views about abortion who is also not being disciplined by his bishop. Then there is the curiously timely story in today’s newsbytes about Fr. Hans Kung also still retaining his priestly faculties, despite years of very public and strong disagreement with some of the Church’s moral teachings, among other issues. There is definitely a pattern here.
