Huffington Post: John Boehner: 'Unemployment Rate Is Far Too High'

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 08:27 AM PDT

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) reacted to Friday's jobs report, casting the country's economic growth situation as "tepid."

In a statement released on his website, Boehner admitted that there was "some good news in this report," but lamented that the "unemployment rate is still far too high."

"Just look at the last few weeks: the president admits that his health care law is a drag on businesses; he threatens to veto a bill based on his own plan to make paying for college easier, then watches quietly as Senate Democrats let interest rates double; and he makes up new reasons to delay the Keystone pipeline in a speech about imposing a national energy tax," he said. "Imagine how many jobs would be created if the president stopped trying to expand government and started working with Republicans on policies that create sustained economic growth and expand opportunity for all Americans."

Huffington Post: Light Of Faith Encyclical (Lumen Fidei) Written By Pope Francis And Pope Benedict

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 08:36 AM PDT

VATICAN CITY (RNS) Less than four months after being elected, Pope Francis published his first encyclical on Friday (July 5).

But the 82-page "Lumen Fidei," ("The Light of Faith") is only partially Francis' work. As Francis himself told a group of cardinals and bishops in May, the encyclical was written "with four hands" together with retired Pope Benedict XVI.

Benedict had almost finished the text when he resigned on Feb. 28. Francis took up the unfinished work, adding a "few contributions" to Benedict's "fine work" and publishing it under his own name.
