Catholic Watch...
We take a look at the grounds for appeal Cardinal Pell's lawyers believe will reverse their client's guilty verdict. It is debatable if the court will find the com-Pell-ing. http://tiny.cc/vyoy7y http://tiny.cc/kcpy7y

Bishops in California bravely state the "seal of confession" is more important than reporting child molestation that a recent law would require them to do. Hope you like "orange", clergy! http://tiny.cc/o3oy7y

A Rhode Island bishop orders Catholics to not support the LGBT community during "Pride month". Accusations of homophobia ensue... http://tiny.cc/a7oy7y

Illinois bishop refuses the "sacrament of communion" to the state's Catholic legislators because they enshrined access to abortion services into law. http://tiny.cc/h9oy7y

The Regressive Left Files...
According to "researchers" and the University of British Columbia, the sport of dodgeball is now to be considered a tool of oppression. And these so-called progressives wonder why we laugh at them. http://tiny.cc/6koy7y

A piece in Vice claims that "conservatives" like Lindsay Shepherd are unable to name a single example of hate speech laws being used to silence speakers inappropriately. Guess they hadn't heard about R. v. Keegstra... http://tiny.cc/kvoy7y

In American Theocracy Today....
Colorado ignores Alberta's lead in not banning gay conversion therapy. Good! http://tiny.cc/jmoy7y

Conservative party leader Andrew Scheer tests the waters to see if religion in politics has become acceptable to voters, proclaiming "I believe we are all children of God and there is equal and infinite value in all of us." So... We as nonbelievers don't? http://tiny.cc/clqy7y

Quack Tracts....
