Wednesday, November 21, 2007 SOCIAL JUSTICE: “Nukes Forever?” By St Mary Administrator @ 10:20 AM :: 138 Views :: :: Human Concerns Ever heard of Complex 2030? Not been on the news much. The Administration is pushing a new investment in U.S. nuclear weapons: Complex 2030, which seeks a new $150 billion investment to upgrade the entire U.S. nuclear weapons complex by 2030 and to ensure the usability and enduring role of these immoral weapons for the indefinite future. The entire nuclear arsenal will be replaced over the next 25 years with new “Reliable Replacement Warheads”.

Of course, the concept of Jesus as King goes back to the earliest days of the Church, when the Gospels have Pilate ask him if he is a King, and the “good thief” asks to be remembered when Jesus entered into His kingdom. Interestingly, this celebration of Jesus as King begins about the time when kings are more and more scarce on the world stage. Read More..
