(Rorate Caeli) — At least since the Synod of the Family in 2014, much concern has been expressed about words and actions of Francis that do not seem compatible with the Catholic faith. These words and actions have been exhaustively examined and discussed. This process of examination and discussion has been taken as far as it can usefully go. It is now imperative to consider the consequences of these words and actions for Francis and for the Catholic Church.

When Braveheart was packing them in at the cinema, it seemed incongruous that a blockbuster about William Wallace should be largely filmed in Ireland. Three decades after Mel Gibson's version of the Scottish patriot's life, strenuous efforts have been made to enhance Scotland's reputation as a world-class film location. With Braveheart in mind, there is satisfaction that the latest boost for our film industry should be firmly on Scottish soil and in the shadow of the Wallace Monument.

Rob Chrisman's moral high ground (The Union Ideas & Opinions, 08-10) sounds more like a standard conservative trope to me. He wrote, "...you have no right to appropriate my funds for your projects." But nowhere in his lengthy piece was there any mention of theft from indigenous people by white settlers. Nor was there mention of the theft of lives and revenue from enslaved blacks. It is so easy to assume we are self-made, forgetting all the backs of those we climbed upon to get where we are.

Rural areas need to be able to offer well-paid jobs, affordable housing, good schools and medical careIslanders are – I found as I toured Mull and Arran this week – resourceful, resolute, adaptable and optimistic. That last has been sorely tested of late as ferries have – time and again – been delayed or cancelled entirely as the ageing CalMac fleet, half of which was built last century, shows its age.

The tattie’s healthy properties have been known for generations. In bygone days potatoes protected against scurvy thanks to the vitamin C which occurs naturally in them. Much of that vitamin C, however, tends to be destroyed when potatoes are boiled, fried or roasted. But what if we were able to create a new potato variety which contained as much vitamin C as a lemon?

Some conservatives in the West have expressed sympathy for the Russians in their war against Ukraine. This sympathy is hard to justify on the basis of the facts, which are well known: the Russian invasion of Ukraine has the goal of erasing Ukrainian nationality, and that goal has been pursued with great brutality. So how is it that conservatives can sympathize with or defend the Russian position?
