Well over 1.6 million visits in July from over 400,000 separate people. Thanks so much. To give you an idea of the growth of the blogosphere, last July, we had 824,000 visits. And there are tentative signs of a new growth in advertising interest. Will keep you posted.
A NEW FEDERAL AMENDMENT: If you’re going to take the Vatican’s position on homosexuality as a prop for a Constitutional Amendment, shouldn’t an amendment against divorce be a a far more urgent priority in terms of defending marriage? Here’s what the Church says about John Kerry and Ronald Reagan, among countless others:
“Divorce is a grave offense against the natural law. It claims to break the contract, to which the spouses freely consented, to live with each other till death. Divorce does injury to the covenant of salvation, of which sacramental marriage is the sign. Contracting a new union, even if it is recognized by civil law, adds to the gravity of the rupture: the remarried spouse is then in situation of public and permanent adultery… Divorce is immoral also because it introduces disorder into the family and into society. This disorder brings grave harm to the deserted spouse, to children traumatized by the separation of their parents and often torn between them, and because of its contagious effect which makes it truly a plague on society.”
I wonder when the theocons will propose a real FMA, one that would ban divorce?
