Does Pope Francis have a New Bishop Barros-like Sex Abuse Scandal?

According to the USA Today and former Guam Senator Robert Klitzkie, it appears that Pope Francis has a new Bishop Juan Barros-like sex abuse scandal.

The Vatican Insider has a photo of Francis on February 7 meeting with, hand on shoulder and smiling at, Guam Archbishop Anthony Aurpon who according to former Guam Senator Klitzkie "has been accused of child sexual abuse by five men, one of them Aurpon's own nephew." (Robert Klitzkie press release, "Press Release of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, February 18, 2017 & Vatican Insider, "Guam's Archbishop Apuron breaks his silence: "I deny all allegations made against me - The February 7th audience with Pope Francis," February 10, 2017)

In a press releases Klitzkie said:

"The Pope appointed Cardinal Burke to head a tribunal to try Aurpon. We're told that the tribunal's decision was reached in October. So - more cover-up?"

The USA Today reported:

"The Vatican has all the evidence it needs to defrock Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron according Catholics who continued their weekly picket of the Archdiocese of Agana."

"Exorcist Fr. Ripperger is asking everyone to say this Prayer until the Election is Resolved"

A good friend of the Catholic Monitor got this from a group message. She said "exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger is asking everyone to say this prayer until the election is resolved": Prayer of Command In His Name and by the power of His Cross and Blood, I ask Jesus to bind any evil spirits, forces and powers of the earth, air, fire, or water, of the netherworld and the satanic forces of nature. By the power of the Holy Spirit and by His authority, I ask Jesus Christ to break any curses, hexes, or spells and send them back to where they came from, if it be His Holy Will. I beseech Thee Lord Jesus to protect us by pouring Thy Precious Blood on us (my family, etc.), which Thou hast shed for us and I ask Thee to command that any departing spirits leave quietly, without disturbance, and go straight to Thy Cross to dispose of as Thou sees fit. I ask Thee to bind any demonic interaction, interplay, or communications. I place N. (Person, place or thing) under the protectio

High-profile Lawyer Barnes: Amy Coney Barrett would be a Disaster

High-profile trial lawyer Robert Barnes who deals in civil, criminal and constitutional law reported on Twitter that Amy Coney Barrett would be a disaster. The Barnes Twitter report shows that Coney Barrett has " sid[ed] with the government on the lockdowns, on uncompensated takings, on excusing First Amendment infringements & Fourth Amendment violations...

If Kamala Harris' Father is part White & part Jamaican African and her Mother is Asian-Indian then is she really Black?

Is Joe Biden's running mate really Black? If Kamala Harris' father is part white and part Jamaican African and her mother is Asian-Indian then is she really Black? Reason.com tries to figure it out: Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's pick to be the Democratic Party's vice-presidential nominee, is the daughter of an Indian immigrant mother and a Jamaican immigrant father. Her father, as I understand it, has ancestors of both European and African origin. [Welcome new Volokh readers. FYI, I've been working on a book on the American Law of Race, with this forthcoming article the first relevant output. My own opinion is that Ms. Harris should be deemed American, period, but there is no such box on government forms, and if you decline to state your race, someone will decide for you… First things first. There is no multiracial or mixed-race category in American law in any jurisdiction. Nor is there an Indian category. So Harris cannot be legally Indian, nor can she b
