The Catholic Church is preparing its flock for the release of the Movie "Spotlight". It is about the monumental coverup of pedophilia by priests in the Boston area. The Church must fear this movie and they should. Their solution is to pray for the victims and to seek forgiveness. This is in the aftermath of the church moving much of its assets into Trusts that can't be used to settle lawsuits by the victims. The movie is on the must see list for Bobbi and me. As an aside, we went saw the movie "Sufragette" last night. Every girl over the age of ten should be taken to the movie to see role models for their lives.
The State Supreme Court has said no to buying text books with taxpayer money for private and parochial schools. I never knew that was happening. The court overturned two lower court rulings. That is a good decision. I wonder if the fundamentalists schools just threw away science books when the arrived.....
Speaking of the Supreme Court, Republican Judge Judy Nakamura has been appointed to the court to fill a vacancy. Governor Martinez could have done worse. I am hopeful Nakamura won't fashion herself a Scalia type crazy person. Don't drink that Kool Aid! She will have a tough time in her election because it is hard enough for a GOP acolyte to get on that court and she would have to prove herself a moderate. I think she is one, but that could endanger her with her own party.

Hmm. I go to Catholic church weekly, and I have not heard any mention of the upcoming release of Spotlight. Curious to see how recent the allegations of cover up are or is this a rehash of all the things that happened in the 60's 70's and early 80's?
You must live on Pluto.
No don't live on Pluto. Just stating the fact that the Catholic Church that I attend has not mentioned Spotlight at all, and pointing out that you you are making shit up about when you make the statement that the Church is "preparing its flock" for the release. Not sure the Church can really do much about this but encourage people to go so that it can learn from its mistakes and not make them again.
The Church has been culled of the Pedophiles for quite some time and has moved on. I will make sure to take my teenage daughter who is studying for confirmation attends so that she can get perspective on the complete mismanagement of the Pedophile scandal by Church leadership.
you must not read the newspapers. There was a big story on this nationally and locally with the comments from the new Archbishop in Santa Fe. maybe you really do live on pluto.
