  • before i leave - i needed to mention this. 

    this week's reading at mass was John 8 - the adulterous woman.  significant b/c of the following story.  who said - people aren't stoned to death anymore. 

    Sudanese women to be stoned for adultery: Amnesty

    please read the article

    the priest mentioned although in America we don't stone people we still electrocute them and inject them with venom.  We all need to learn of Jesus' compassion in John 8? 

    as usual i ask - what and how should the church respond to this injustice?  what should the church's response be?

    Iraqis stand by the wreckage of a car
    bomb that exploded Saturday in the
    town of Mahmoudiya.
     
    From CNN -
    Suicide bombers detonated three chlorine-filled trucks in Anbar province, the U.S. military
    said Saturday.  The attacks killed two police officers and sickened about 350 Iraqis and
    six coalition force members, the military said.
    The bombs went off in three hours Friday afternoon and evening in three different
    locations: a checkpoint north of Ramadi, Anbar's capital; Amiriya, about 10 miles south
    of Falluja; and the Albu Issa region just south of Falluja.
    About 250 Iraqis were sickened by chlorine in Albu Issa and 100 in Amiriya. A coalition
    service member and an Iraqi were injured at the checkpoint near Ramadi, and two police
    officers were killed in Amiriya.  The bomber who struck near Ramadi used a pickup truck,
    and the other two bombers were in dump trucks.  Suicide car bombers have used chlorine a
    s a weapon five times in the past two months in Sunni-dominated Anbar. The province has
     been a hub for Sunni militants, including those supportive of the group al Qaeda in Iraq.
     
    What  a crazy bitter mess –
     
    If you succumb to the temptation of using violence 
    in the struggle...your chief legacy to the future will 
    be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.
    ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
     
    The chain reaction of evil--wars producing more wars 
    -- must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the 
    dark abyss  of annihilation.
    ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
