President Trump’s decision to kill General Soleimani has stirred up the predictable opposition.  For Nancy Pelosi and her party, Trump had to be condemned either for making an inadequate response to Iranian terrorist aggression against the United States or for a response she has decided, on her own authority, to declare a war crime.

How many times have we heard, at least since the end of the 1950’s, that young people will not return to the Church nor vocations increase until we make everything groovy?  And now that they have made everything too groovy for words, with leftist policies on immigration, pop music and pop liturgies, a moral theology so thin it would constitute indecent exposure on a nude beach, what then?

Perhaps, “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”  That, at least, would be one answer the Democrats might give. More obviously, it also depends upon the meaning of “impeach.”
