United Methodists lose one-fifth of US churches in schism driven by growing defiance of LGBTQ bans

I mean, the original Latin version is basically the same as the English translation. And Jerome lived in Jerusalem among native Hebrew speakers when doing his translation in around 400 CE. So, I don't get the comments that it's edited for political purposes. If there's a mistranslation, it goes back to the beginning and has held steady for 1600 years.

Also, not to lose sight of practicalities, if a billion Christians have relied on the "wrong" version over the last 1600 years, doesn't that make the "wrong" version orthodox? The "right" translation at this point is heretical.

Judge limits Biden administration contact with social media firms

The government is allowed to "coordinate" with anyone it wants. The question is whether the government so coerced the social media companies so as to take away their free will. There's no proof of anything close to that.

This injunction is a prior restraint on the government's right to speak freely to its citizens. This is core first amendment, the type of injunction that shows up ... well, I'm not sure one's ever been upheld. In a sane world, the injunction is stayed immediately and reversed in language should make this Judge blush.
