Divorce Rates Up In U.S., Thanks To Supreme Court Decision

Leave a comment

IMG_2457.JPGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Divorce rates in the United States almost tripled in just the last 24 hours, thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court to allow parts of Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban to go into effect.

The ruling by the Supremes all but upholds the administration’s temporary ban on issuing travel visas to citizens from several Muslim countries.

The court’s opinion explained the kinds of relationships people from the six countries must demonstrate to obtain a US visa.

“For individuals, a close familial relationship is required,” the court said. For people who want to come to the United States to work or study, “the relationship must be formal, documented and formed in the ordinary course, not for the purpose of evading” the travel ban.

Apparently, many Americans who are opposed to the Muslim travel ban are resorting to divorcing their spouses in the hope that they can marry citizens from the banned countries.  This would satisfy the court’s condition of “close familial relationship.”

Let’s give it to these Americans.  They can’t be outsmarted. Not by Trump. Not even by the U.S. Supreme Court!

Philippine Bishops Issue Historic Pastoral Letter Against Fake News And Presstitutes

Leave a comment

IMG_2424MANILA, Philippines  (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When Filipino Catholics attend services this Sunday, they will listen to the reading of a “historic” pastoral letter issued by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

Rappler is reporting that the CBCP is urging Catholics to stop spreading fake news as it is a “sin against charity.”

What Rappler is not reporting is that the bishops are issuing a second pastoral letter to be read next Sunday condemning presstitutes, noting that they are committing a “sin against faith.”

(Faith, Hope and Charity are three theological virtues espoused by the Catholic Church.)

Many pro-Duterte bloggers have discredited both legitimate journalists and anti-Duterte bloggers as “presstitutes” for their bias, faux investigative reporting and spreading of fake headlines and photographs.  Among the so-called presstitutes are  Rappler, The Inquirer, GMA-7, ABS-CBN and bloggers like Raissa Robles, Cynthia Patag, Leah Navarro and Jim Paredes.

The second pastoral letter argues that presstitutes destroy the people’s faith in the truth and the basic tenets of fair, balanced and accurate reporting.

The letter urges all Catholics who have been following and reading news from the presstitutes to go to the Confessional Box at their first opportunity.

Coincidentally, The Adobo Chronicles has issued its own list of presstitutes as a public service to its readers and followers.
