Why Porn is a Public Health Issue
It was not that long ago that domestic violence (DV) was seen as a private family issue, rather than a public health problem of enormous magnitude that has myriad effects on the social, psychological, economic and, of course, collective health of society at large. We have now reached a similar tipping point with pornography. As the evidence on the harms of pornography piles up, it has become clear that we can no longer sit back and allow the porn industry to hijack the sexual and emotional well-being of our culture . Extensive scientific research reveals that exposure to porn threatens the social, emotional and physical health of individuals, families and communities. These impacts highlight the degree to which porn is a public health crisis that undermines women and children’s human rights , rather than being a private matter.

CDC: 35% of Babies Aborted in 2013 Were Black
Although black Americans make up 13.3% of the U.S. population, they comprised 35% of the total abortions “reported” – 128,682 babies killed -- in 2013, according to the latest Abortion Surveillance report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And you can bet that the liberal media won't talk about these black lives.
Baseball Legend Luis Tiant: Castro ‘Took Away the Dreams That One Had as a Boy’
Tiant, 76, won 229 games and went to three All-Star Games in a major league career that spanned from 1964 to 1982. He was born and raised in Marianao, Cuba, and defected while he was playing in Mexico in 1961. He said that Castro “took away the freedom, the happiness, the dreams that one had as a boy.” “Cuba was the country with the most Latin American players in the majors until the regime took over and set everything back,” Tiant told ESPN. “It’s incredible, all those players that were unable to succeed, so many good ones. When I played, when I left, there were 50 or 60 players as good as me or better than me. And they could never get out. They all stayed there.”

Commission won't call Castro a dictator
The European Commission maintained on Monday (28 November), that the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro was a "hero for many," suggesting that labelling him a dictator did not reflect the institution's view. In a statement on Saturday, roundly criticised on social media, Juncker said that Castro was "one of the historic figures of the past century" and that "the world has lost a man who was a hero for many."

Must Everything Be Made of Corn?
To be sure, corn is a miracle food. But is it really so miraculous that everything we use should be made out of it? Only if the market brings about this result. But it’s not the market speaking. It’s a deeply distorted market. The power of the corn lobby is legendary. It turns out that the main and most valuable products generated by all this strange corn-based activity are political careers.

A NATIONAL OR APOSTOLIC CHURCH? THE C OF E, SEX, AND INCLUSION
As the C of E struggles over issues in human sexuality, we might hope for something more than attention to establishment and apostolicity: instead, a recognition of the Church of England’s providential role as a servant in the formation of a global Communion of national churches straining for a more Catholic identity, not ignoring the gift of the local, but always with an eye towards the graces of the universal.
