Francis, Conscientious Objection and Stralimitate

He also used a word, which Time described as a “mash-up of Spanish and Italian.” He described New York City’s unlimited exuberance as “stralimitate.”

A perfect description of the energy and enthusiasm that Pope Francis demonstrated on his journey to Cuba and the United States: stralimitate.

The Good Shepherd and the Lost Sheep

No. 1,221 SUMMARY: The Papal visit to America is, above all else, an evangelical outreach to lost sheep who want to be found.

No. 1,219 SUMMARY: Generation Z, which is starting to enter college, is reputed to be the most digital generation yet, with an attention span of eight seconds.

No. 1,213 I have received emails more than once offering me the opportunity to be recognized as a member of the Legal Elite of Florida.
