this is progress right now, for a woman living with the “guilt” of having an abortion as a catholic. This is progress for a woman who cannot be a part of her community for having an abortion. It’s progress for women living in catholic countries, and a road towards safety and better reproductive rights for them.

Thank you. And really, what do people expect? It’s a religious institution. I grew up Catholic, and while this is nothing to many Catholics, it is a big something to many Catholics as well. For a devout person, being able to be “forgiven” by the priest that might have known them their entire life is a far more

Exactly. In these scenarios you have to understand the context, and the way the Catholic Church works. I was raised Catholic but am now agnostic, and while I don’t think Pope Francis gets a pat on the back, it seems more productive to acknowledge that this is a small forward step for the Church rather than lambast the

Baby steps, but at least baby steps in the right direction.

Not necessarily thank them - but how about not shit on them for it. Steps in the right direction, however small, should not be punished.

i get the snark, but really, for women of faith, this is a huge deal to them. Right or wrong, they feel like they’ve sinned and need forgiveness. This is a good thing. This is one of those moments where we can step out of our bubble a little bit and understand the progress that this is for faithful Catholics.

I’m not even Catholic, and I find your post kind of offensive...The church is oppressive, but as condesending as the Pope’s announcement may sound to many of us, it IS a tiny step forward for the church institution.

On Friday, Tequila tweeted photos of herself at a private, alt-right D.C. dinner

Motley Crue or is Axl going to be with them. I say that because:

I don’t want to shut conversation down but I think we’re all sick of the trolls, so I ask:

Is Amy Schumer still dating blackface guy?

Really disappointed Jezebel continues to link back to the daily mail. Please look at the Stop funding hate campaign and consider using less unethical sources. They are completely against the pro-diversity, immigrant friendly approach you are praising the Hamilton cast for.

I welcome men to lick my ass this morning and make me come every morning.

I’m peeved that people just reduce Duvall’s career down to The Shining. Her career is chock full of great directors and her exemplary work behind the camera for children’s entertainment. She is a gentle soul and does not deserve this, leave her the hell alone.

It’s to preserve the legitimacy of government and the unitary power of the Prime Minister for one thing. If they did it like a proper country they’d have to have an elected president who would actually have a mandate to exercise the same powers that the Queen doesn’t exercise. Plus, as the post notes, the Queen gets

Eh, I found it a little boring?

Two things about Ronan Farrow: 1.) He can get it; and 2.) Every time I see that kid he looks more like Frank Sinatra.

Listen to the man. He lived through that period. It’s happening again.

A lot of young idealistic people head into the inner cities with the idea that they can use reason, persuasion, and a demonstration of their own love of learning to get kids to take an interest in school. Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t work. Most teachers get spit out after several years or, like this one, wind up

Serious question: why the hope to fail? As Obama said, his success is our success.
