Many Catholic leaders weren’t amused by Trump’s ‘joke’ about becoming pope
When the president isn't using faith as a sword against his perceived political foes, he’s using it as a punch line to an unnecessary joke.

Mike Miner was a giant of Chicago journalism, the heart and soul of the Reader, the conscience of the city's vibrant media scene. His work was incisive, rigorous, and funny. He was a kind and gracious mentor to those of us lucky enough to know him. He will be missed www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

1/ The exact language of the oath lawyers take when they become members of the bar varies from state to state, but the intention is the same. It's a solemn oath to uphold the Constitution, and to refuse to act for "lucre and malice." The intent is plain. We are a country of laws, not of men.
