Pope Francis said his conservative critics within the Roman Catholic Church in the United States are trapped in a "suicidal attitude," according to an interview with CBS.
During the April 24 interview with "
60 Minutes" that aired Sunday, Francis was asked his thoughts on the conservative backlash against his papacy, with many of his critics being American clergy members.
Francis responded by saying a conservative is someone who "clings to something and does not want to see beyond that."
"It is a suicidal attitude," the pontiff said.
"Because one thing is to take tradition into account, to consider situations from the past, but quite another is to be closed up inside a dogmatic box."
Francis has clashed with the conservative wing almost since he was elected as head of the church in 2013.
Moves conservatives have opposed include papal attempts to make the church more welcoming to the
LGBT community and to give lay people more responsibility in the church.

When asked during the interview about his decision to allow priests to bless same-sex couples, the pope replied that the church cannot actually bless the union, as it is against church teaching, but they can bless the individual.

"The blessing is for everyone — for everyone. To bless a homosexual-type union, however, goes against the given rite, against the law of the church. But to bless each person, why not? The blessing is for all. Some people were scandalized by this, but why? Everyone, everyone."

Francis replied when asked about his being more open and accepting than his predecessors that "you have to be open to everything. The church is like that. Everyone, everyone, everyone. That so-and-so is a sinner. Me, too. I am a sinner. Everyone.

"The gospel is for everyone. If the church places a customs officer at the door, that is no longer the church of Christ. Everyone."

Francis last year dismissed a conservative U.S. bishop who was a withering critic of his papacy and said the conservative wing in the U.S. church was "reactionary." He also stripped a conservative American cardinal of some Vatican privileges.

When asked about the state of Texas potentially shutting down a Catholic charity on the U.S.-Mexico border that gives humanitarian aid to migrants, Francis replied that it is "sheer madness."

"To close the border and leave them there, that is madness. The migrant has to be received. Thereafter you see how you're going to deal with them. Maybe you have to send them back. I don't know. But each case ought to be considered humanely, right?"

Regarding surrogacy, Pope Francis said that "in each case, the situation should be carefully and clearly considered, consulting medically and then morally as well. I think there is a general rule in these cases, but you have to go into each case in particular to assess the situation — as long as the moral principle is not skirted."

Biden and Trump to Meet for June, September Debates (Connecting the Dots: CNN, ABC, The Commission on Presidential Debates, Joe Biden, Federal Election Commission & Soros Funding)

RFK Jr. says the two are colluding to avoid discussing eight years of ‘mutual failure.’

The earliest televised presidential debate in history will take place on June 27 on CNN, a May 15 statement from the outlet confirmed. The announcement came hours after former President Donald Trump accepted an invitation from President Joe Biden earlier in the day for two debates in June and September.

The debate will be held at CNN’s studios in Atlanta, in a key battleground state for the November election. Notably, no audience will be present at the debate “to ensure candidates may maximize the time allotted in the debate.”

President Biden posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that he had accepted CNN’s invitation.

“Over to you, Donald,“ he wrote. ”As you said: anywhere, anytime, any place.”

President Trump posted on Truth Social that it was his “great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy.”

President Trump said he would also accept an ABC News debate against President Biden on Sept. 10. Shortly after, President Biden posted on X that he also accepted this debate.

“I’ve also received and accepted an invitation to a debate hosted by ABC on Tuesday, September 10th,” President Biden said in the post on X. “Trump says he’ll arrange his own transportation. I’ll bring my plane, too. I plan on keeping it for another four years.”

For the CNN debate, the outlet said in the statement that the debate’s moderators and additional details will be announced at a later date.

The Biden campaign sent a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates on May 15 saying the president would not take part in the commission’s planned debates, preferring earlier debates before the early voting period in many states.

Candidates Agree to Requirements

The Biden campaign’s letter to the commission on May 15 called for the debates to be one-on-one, but President Trump said he would prefer a large audience, although the campaign has agreed to the CNN debate with no audience.

The outlet stated, “To qualify for participation, candidates must fulfill the requirements outlined in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States; file a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission; a candidate’s name must appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline; agree to accept the rules and format of the debate; and receive at least 15 [percent] in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.”

The proposals did not include any mention of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has, in some polls, received at least 15 percent of the vote but has not yet qualified on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral votes required to secure the presidency.

The Kennedy campaign referred The Epoch Times to a post on X by the candidate, which criticized both candidates for keeping him out of the debate.

“Presidents Trump and Biden are colluding to lock America into a head-to-head match-up that 70 [percent] say they do not want,” Mr. Kennedy said in the post. “They are trying to exclude me from their debate because they are afraid I would win. Keeping viable candidates off the debate stage undermines democracy. Forty-three percent of Americans identify as independents. If Americans are ever going to escape the hammerlock of the two-party system, now is the time to do it. These are the two most unpopular candidates in living memory.”

Mr. Kennedy said that by excluding him, they are seeking to “avoid discussion of their eight years of mutual failure including deficits, wars, lockdowns, chronic disease, and inflation.”

CNN added that polls that “meet CNN editorial standards” include their own and those from ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.

Candidates must meet the requirements between March 13 and seven days before the debate, according to the outlet.

Trump Campaign Calls for More Debates

In a memorandum addressed to the Biden campaign headquarters, the Trump campaign escalated its calls for a series of debates leading up to the 2024 presidential election.

The letter, dated May 15 and signed by Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc., expressed satisfaction that President Biden had agreed to engage in a debate with President Trump.

“Today is a good day for America’s voters, now that Joe Biden has FINALLY accepted President Trump’s debate challenge,” the memo reads.

The Trump campaign is advocating additional debates, suggesting that there should be one debate per month from June through September, in addition to the vice presidential debate. The campaign said the rationale behind this proposal is the belief that American voters deserve more opportunities to hear directly from the candidates, especially in light of current national issues.

“With the soaring inflation of Bidenomics costing America’s hardworking families at the grocery store and at the gas pump, with our border being totally overrun, with chaos at home, chaos across the world, chaos on our college campuses, we should have one debate per month,” the memo reads.

“We believe the American people deserve more than what the Biden administration has to offer.”

President Trump also posted on Truth Social on May 15 that he accepted another debate against President Biden on Fox News on Oct. 2, with hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum as moderators.

However, it appears that the Biden campaign has, as of the afternoon of May 15, rejected the offer for any additional debates.

Ms. Dillon commented on behalf of the Biden–Harris campaign after President Trump’s call for additional debates, going as far as criticizing the former president’s “varying degrees of comprehension and basic grammar” in an emailed statement.

“Donald Trump has a long history of playing games with debates: complaining about the rules, breaking those rules, pulling out at the last minute, or not showing up at all – which he’s done repeatedly in all three cycles he’s run for president,” she said. “President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms. No more games. No more chaos, no more debate about debates. We’ll see Donald Trump on June 27th in Atlanta – if he shows up.”

Seinfeld Speech at Duke Commencement Prompts Walkout Protesting His Support for Israel

Newsmax.com

Sunday, 12 May 2024 01:38 PM EDT

(AP)

Dozens of students walked out of Duke University's commencement ceremony on Sunday as some chanted "free Palestine" to protest its guest speaker, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who has supported Israel throughout the war in Gaza, according to a video posted on social media.

Figures in robes and caps, some waving Palestinian flags, were seen filing out of crowds of graduates assembled on the grass in the North Carolina University's football stadium in the video posted on X. Reuters was able to verify the video's date and location.

The video also showed several attendees leaving the viewing stands, including a person wearing a keffiyeh, an emblem of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

Others shouted "Jerry! Jerry!" as the actor received an honorary degree, and Seinfeld delivered his speech without major interruptions.

He visited Israel and has vocally supported it since Oct. 7 when militant group Hamas killed 1,200 people and abducted 252 others, of whom 133 are believed to remain in captivity in Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. Meanwhile, Israel's military operations have killed more than 35,000 Palestinians, according to health officials in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian enclave.

The White House said on Tuesday that U.S. President Joe Biden welcomes peaceful protests at college commencement ceremonies where he and other administration officials will speak.

The walkout at Duke's graduation was the latest manifestation of protests that have roiled U.S. campuses as students call for universities to divest from arms suppliers and other companies profiting from the war, and amnesty for students and faculty who have been disciplined or fired for protesting.

The protests have prompted U.S. universities such as Columbia in New York and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles to cancel their main graduation ceremonies this month. Other colleges and universities have relocated or modified commencement ceremonies.

Police detained several people Thursday at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after demonstrators blocked a parking garage in their ongoing protest movement connected to the Israel-Hamas war.

Tensions have ratcheted up in standoffs with protesters on campuses across the United States and increasingly in Europe. Some colleges cracked down immediately, while others have tolerated the demonstrations. Some have begun to lose patience and call in the police over concerns about disruptions to campus life and safety.

In Boston, the U.S. city most identified with higher education, students have set up encampments on at least five campuses, including MIT, Northeastern University, and Harvard University.

At MIT, protesters have been asking administrators to end all research contracts with Israel's Ministry of Defense, which they estimate total $11 million since 2015. On Thursday, the school issued an alert just before 2 p.m. saying protesters were blocking the entrance to a campus parking garage and spilling onto a nearby street.

About two hours later, authorities split protesters up and pushed them away from the garage. At least three people were detained. Protesters walked away continuing to chant "free Palestine." The crowd dispersed, and the garage was reopened by 5 p.m., the school said.

MIT officials said later Thursday that fewer than 10 people were arrested by MIT police during the incident and the Stata Garage and Vassar Street are now open. Cambridge Police were also on hand to help clear the garage entrance, officials said.

Hannah Didehbani, an MIT student and one of the leaders of the protest, said the decision to block the garage was part of a larger effort to bring attention to what she described as MIT's complicity with the Israeli military. Didehbani said she has been issued a suspension and an eviction notice by the school but said MIT cannot suspend the larger student movement.

"They'd much rather do those things than cut ties to a state that is currently enacting a genocide," she said.

The pro-Palestinian protest movement began nearly three weeks ago at Columbia University in New York City. It has since swept college campuses nationwide, with more than 2,500 people arrested.
