Who Should Be the Next Pope?
MSNBC Panelist Pitches Sotomayor

National Review Online, by Andrew Johnson

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/18/2013 1:54:44 PM

On MSNBC Live over the weekend, New York magazine’s contributing editor Chris Smith toyed with the idea of Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor as the next pope. “Here’s a trifecta: Latin, female, American. It would do a lot of good,” Smith said. “That’s not going to happen, but it would speak to some of the issues about how the Church needs to open itself up.” He added that finding someone who “has mixed it up in the real world . . . would be a good thing for whoever is pope” and believes

How well did "opening up" work for mainstream Protestant churches? They are pro-gay, pro-abortion and pro everything else that´s deviant. Episcopalian, Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches are lucky if a couple dozen people show up on Sunday morning. Meanwhile the mean old closed up Catholic churches are standing room only.

Sotomayor´s big beef is growing up in the projects. To build the projects neighborhoods were ripped up and millions spent on building poor-quality buildings with money wasted on politicians and their pals. Crime is out of control because of oversight by liberal judges and the ACLU. She does come off as a nice decent woman. My nomination for pope would be Jeremy Irons but me and MSNBC do not have a dog in this hunt.

Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon.
