For that
matter latest polls demonstrate that even a majority of Catholics disagree with the official church
position on this issue, and an even stronger majority oppose the restrictions
on birth control.
A month
later, Archbishop Justin Rigali issued a statement reiterating the Church's
position on such
matters, citing several Church sources including Pope John Paul II's 1998 statement calling medically assisted food and water «an ordinary means of preserving life.»
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of
late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the
matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn
on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying
on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting
on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a
position of power... only then can we get back to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization...
on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
A lot of people won't see it but I believe if Maitland - Niles was given his chance at CM (which is his proper
position) he'd do better than those who play there.It's just Wenger who has misued the guy.Out of all our youngsters I saw him as the one close to being world class due to the maturity he shows
on the ball.He's a player who is very ready for the Arsenal team and I believe he should be given his chance at CM no
matter who comes.He's very good but shame it'll take us a long time to realise this when it's too
late.
