Amen, Father.

And I did misspeak: by sending him $12 a year, Barack would effectively triple George Obama's income.

To me, this is simply a matter of justice. The bonds of flesh and blood do, in fact, impose certain obligations upon us especially in situations of dire need. Taking the whole political element out of the equation, Barack does have certain obligations towards his siblings that, thus far in the case with George, he has neglected to fulfill. As he himself has said, "I am brother's keeper."

God bless,

A friend whom I haven't seen for a few years who is in Dublin for family reasons (his younger brother's wedding) just took me to lunch, and slipped me some money to pay the taxi fare into the bargain. Nothing wrong with my friend's eyesight!

I can assure you that this is currently the policy of the RC Diocese of Las Vegas. It alsohas a blacnket policy of no marriages under 19.

So you can assure me that this is a matter of local ordinaries enforcing their own pastoral policies locally...

The blanket statement "Church actually refuses to marry a woman who is pregnant to the father" needs much further qualification.
