...United States is certainly right to condemn Iran for its progress in enriching uranium. Undeniably, nuclear proliferation, regardless of which country promotes it, destabilizes the world and increases the likelihood of mass destruction and death of the kind witnessed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, it is difficult to conceive how the U.S. government can justifiably berate Iran without any qualifications. Not only does the perennial complaint that the nuclear-armed US should lower its own nuclear stockpiles remain valid, but the Bush Administration has provided Iran with even more reasons to acquire nuclear weapons capability in the short term...
...Christian love. The sometimes shy pontiff has even begun to enjoy all the adoration heaped upon him by the piazzas full of faithful.

The clearest answer to this question comes from the story of the good Samaritan. In response to a follower asking who exactly Christ is referring to when he says “love...
...freedoms occupy much discourse about the Church’s decision, we must remember that the paramount issue in this whole debacle is the interests of the children whom the charity helps. In this case, the empirical facts are too compelling to ignore. It would be simply unjust to condemn these many children to the instability of foster homes because of a clash of values between the Church and state with, though vital, fewer tangible effects...
