Pope urges acceptance for remarried Catholics. How does this fit into his progressive politics?


Pope Francis urged priests on Wednesday to offer a “real welcome” to Catholics who have divorced and remarried outside the church, Reuters reported.
Francis said the clergy must be more merciful and not treat Catholics who found happiness in a second marriage as though they had been excommunicated, especially because of the potential impact on their children.

Jews, Muslims Pray For Palestinian Family Injured In Arson Attack

An arson attack on a Palestinian home on July 31 in Duma that killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh and injured three other family members brought Jewish and Muslim leaders together on Monday to pray for the victims.
Ahmad Dawabsha, Ali’s 4-year-old brother, and his parents, Saad and Reham, are in critical condition with third degree burns and are being treated at Israel’s Sheba Medical Center.


                                                                                                                                                       

340 rabbis urge Congress to approve Iran nuclear deal 

A group of Orthodox Jewish counter-demonstrators wave American and Iranian flags as they stand amid protesters who were demonstrating against the nuclear deal with Iran during a rally in Times Square in the Manhattan borough of New York City on July 22, 2015. 
(RNS) Rebuffing a campaign among Jewish organizations to scuttle the Iran nuclear deal, 340 rabbis sent a letter

“Most especially, we are deeply concerned with the impression that the leadership of the American Jewish community is united in opposition to the agreement,” the letter states. “We, along with many other Jewish leaders, fully support this historic nuclear accord.”
