I was not referring to the Iceland volcanic eruption. As far
as
the Icelandic people were concerned volcanic activity were fairly
regular events. I woke up yesterday to two things which doesn't always
happen regularly. The first one was that the Colorado Supreme Court
gave a decision to disqualify Donald Trump in the 2024 United States
presidential election. Why was this abnormal? Because American judges
refrain from telling American voters who they can vote for. Essentially
that was what's happening here, although the decision will have to wait
for the US Supreme Court. Don't get me wrong I happen to agree with the
decision and its logic. The issue was that the fourteenth amendment of
the US Constitution disqualifies a person to be an elector of President
if after taking an oath he engaged in insurrection or rebellion. The
Colorado Supreme Court affirmed a lower court's decision on the matter.
The second item yesterday was Pope Francis' reversal on the
church blessing same-sex relationships. Change like this happen only in
a generation. The very next day a same-sex couple received a blessing
from a priest in New York. This is not a reversal on the teaching that
gay relationship is a sin. But it does emphasize Pope Francis' call for
love and forgiveness of the sinner to the church.
