American Cardinal Blames Women for “Feminizing” the Catholic Church

American Cardinal Blames Women for “Feminizing” the Catholic Church | In The Name Of God | Scoop.it

But it doesn’t must mean God forgives us. It also means God forgives rapists, child molesters, and so on—fully and completely.

Very troubling that women are at the receiving end of these things. Unfortunately we have similar issues in the U.S. regarding controlling women's bodies and their rights.

Idaho bill would allow doctors or cops to refuse service to LGBT people on religious grounds | The Raw Story

Idaho bill would allow doctors or cops to refuse service to LGBT people on religious grounds | The Raw Story | In The Name Of God | Scoop.it

Rep. Lynn Luker outlined a proposal Tuesday backed by his conservative Christian allies to shield religious people from the threat of losing their professional licenses for refusing service or employment to anyone they conclude violates their religious beliefs.
