Kudos to Michael Da Graca Pinto, President for speaking up and acting responsibly.

The world needs more men/people willing to do right.

They would hear the same gospel in any RC Church on any given Sunday.

( I get your joke - who knows what conclusions those two will draw from anything they hear.)

Very little on Google re 2015 Red Mass in DC.
Only thing I can find is a brief C-span shot, showing Roberts, and Breyer in addition to Scalia and Thomas.
They were not identified individually on C-span, so it's unknowable on that site if any others attended.

Congratulations! nt

Without looking it up, I believe I saw (on TV) Scalia and perhaps Thomas leaving the church.

Likely some others as well.

I'm beginning to think Jeb! is as stupid as his older brother.

I attended the Red Mass for the Cincinnati/Northern KY area yesterday,

as a guest and my first time attending.
It was sponsored by the Saint Thomas More Society of Greater Cincinnati and celebrated by Archbishop Dennis Schnurr. A number of Knights of Columbus attended the Archbishop, and a contingent of persons I believe are Knights of Malta also attended.

Archbishop Schnurr's homily referred to the life and martyr's death of St. Thomas More, who is the patron of Lawyers. He also referred specifically to the ACA and what he perceived to be conflicts with freedom of religion. Without his text in front of me, I cannot be more specific, but suffice it to say he was less than sympathetic with the present Administration's positions. Since the majority of judgeships locally are held by Republicans, it is likely that few present disagreed with him.

The 33-member crew of cargo ship "El Faro" is missing near the eye of Joaquin.

Pray that they will be located and brought to safety.
There are 28 American and 5 Polish crew on the ship, which was last heard from near the eye of the hurricane.
The US Coast Guard is searching for the ship, despite dangerous conditions.

I hope all goes well for you.

I recall telling my Dad, when I was about 21, that I didn't want to live beyond 59. I couldn't imagine myself as an older person, and aging certainly was not an attractive choice.

Life has a funny way of giving us different perspectives through the years.

May life give you all that you dream of.

Taking Social Security at 62 reduces your payment 20%/month for the rest

of your life.
Ex: If you would get $1000/mo at full SS age, you would get $800/mo from age 62 until death.
If you would get $2000/mo at full SS, you would get $1600/mo from age 62 until death.

Average life expectancy is now in late 70s for men and early 80s for women, which means at least half of those people live well beyond the average.

Believe me, speaking as a senior well past retirement age, you don't want to be 75, 80, or 85 with no physical (not to mention mental) ability to earn income and scrounging and worrying about basic expenses.
