Metro Detroit is hosting a gathering of liberal Catholics this weekend. The local Church authorities are warning the faithful to stay away, as the meeting will broach subjects contrary to Catholic teaching. Interestingly, the group appears made up largely of older Catholics. Are we left to believe that we are seeing a rebirth of the Faith, as such a demographic indicates that liberal Catholics are slowly fading? Let's hope so.
The Michigan Legislature has begun asking for redistricting plans, the first step towards redrawing the state's political districts. What will happen in the end we cannot know precisely, but look for Detroit to lose influence while suburban and rural areas gain a bit. That's simply the nature of the beast: Detroit is losing people while the rest of the state gains. But watch out: there will be all kinds of pigheaded charges as the process plays out. Any attempt to take seats from our fair city will be fought tooth and nail, mainly by the Democrats, Detroit and other urban though less populated areas are where their greatest influence resides. Redistricting will not likely be a fair fight.
That's it today; a Saturday two-for. Let us know what you think.
