very interesting article published regarding major announcement/discussion by Pope Francis....the Pope has declared that there is no hell.....only heaven......bad souls disappear...that is a big departure from previous teaching....i think very progressive.
I don't know if it's progressive or not, but it's a load off
my mind, is what it is.
More work for Trump's beleaguered lawyers coming up...
Donald Trump loses bid to toss out corruption lawsuit brought by Maryland, DC
WASHINGTON — President Trump lost a bid on Wednesday to toss out a lawsuit that claims his business with foreign and state governments violates anti-corruption provisions of the Constitution.
U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte ruled that the governments of Maryland and Washington, D.C., have legal standing to pursue their case, which argues that Trump's continued ownership of the Trump International Hotel in the nation's capital gives him an unfair advantage over other area businesses.
Messitte's ruling keeps alive, for now, a case that centers on whether Trump's decision to maintain ownership of his real-estate and branding empire violates the little-tested emoluments provisions of the Constitution, barring top officials from accepting payments from foreign governments or other government entities.
Although the case still faces other hurdles, Messitte's decision marks the latest legal challenge confronting Trump. The president is contending with an investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and a lawsuit brought by a former porn star Stormy Daniels who says she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
Earlier this month, a New York court ruled that former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, who accused Trump of groping her, would be allowed to move forward with a defamation lawsuit against him.
Speaking of Trump's lawyers, and his lawyers' lawyers, here's a fun read.
