US: Writer on ‘near-death’ experiences gives them to his daughter

Dr. Melvin L. Morse, 58, and his 40-year-old wife Pauline, of the 20000 block of Lewes-Georgetown Highway, were each charged with four felony counts of first-degree reckless endangering, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and felony conspiracy, said state police spokesman Master Cpl. Gary Fournier.

Their children, girls ages 5 and 11, are in the care of the state Division of Family Services, state police said….

Pauline and Melvin Morse moved to Delaware from Seattle in 2006. He is the author of “Closer to the Light” and “Transformed by the Light” that explore near-death experiences of children. He also authored “Parting Visions” that documents spiritual visions associated with death and dying.

UK: Gay marriage will curdle milk, frighten horses, says Catholic Archbish

Look carefully — you can see the Pope’s hand going up his back

The most influential Catholic in England and Wales has warned that same-sex marriages would be a “profoundly radical step” that would threaten the true meaning of matrimony, it has been reported.

Plans to extend marriage to same-sex couples would strip the union of its “distinctive nature” and reduce it to just the commitment of the two people involved, without recognising the intention of procreation and the education of children, the Archbishop of Westminster, the Most Reverend Vincent Nichols, will say.

The warning is part of a letter seen by the Daily Telegraph which is due to be read from the pulpit in 2,500 churches during Mass this Sunday.

This is “the most influential Catholic in England and Wales?” Then we have nothing to fear.
