At First Sight (1999) At First Sight is a 1999 American film starring Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino, based on the essay To See and Not to See in neurologist Oliver Sacks' book An Anthropologist on Mars and inspired by the true life story of Shirl Jennings. Amy Benic (Mira Sorvino) takes a break from working as an architect at a spa in Pinecrest, a small town outside New York City. Virgil Adamson (Val Kilmer) is a masseur at the spa and gives Amy a massage. Amy breaks down and cries, later falling asleep as Virgil leaves the room. When she wakes up, she runs after him to compliment the massage, only to realize that Virgil is blind. Virgil asks her out, and the two eventually fall in love and begin a relationship. Virgil lives alone, though his over-protective sister, Jennie (Kelly McGillis), who lives next door, takes care of him. During an intimate session with Amy, Virgil reveals that he went blind when he was three and that the last thing he saw was something fluffy. Amy describes …More

Canon 212’s Frank Walker doesn't know what he's talking about. Pope Francis' religion is indeed Catholicism but implemented according to the warped ideology of liberation theology. Pope Francis is a Catholic, but he is a Marxist Catholic. If Arcbishop Vigano truly did call Pope Francis "an oracle of globalism", then he is incorrect. An oracle is (from Wiki) "a person or agency considered to provide wise and insightful counsel or prophetic predictions, most notably including precognition of the future, inspired by deities." For Pope Francis to be an oracle of anything he would have to be "considered to provide wise and insightful counsel or prophetic predictions." "Wise and insightful counsel?" Pope Francis? Get out. :D When as our current pontiff EVER provided "wise or thoughtful counsel" for anything??? Likewise, he hasn't provided any prophetic predictions, either. That's assuming Archbishop Vigano actually made such a claim. I have my doubts since the Archbishop's name coupled …More

"...from the time of John Paul II onward, the Vatican had multiple reports about McCarrick that as a bishop he did, indeed, share beds with his subordinate priests and seminarians." -and no amount of contrived finger-pointing can lay the blame for that on the current pontiff. Father Jorge Mario Bergoglio has been a priest for less than a decade when Mr. McCarrick was made a bishop in 1977 and Cardinal Wojtyla became Pope the following year.

Nah, they love Pope Francis. He's exactly the kind of Catholic they like: rabidly Marxist, bitterly anti-capitalist,, focused on climate change, "the poor", fairly sympathetic to homosexuality, extremely "ecumenical" with religions opposed to the Church, and -best of all- notably silent on abortion. The next time he natters on any of his fave social issues, the press will be breathlessly repeating his every word.

The latest developments remove any lingering doubt as to how the Times sees its modern mission: serving and pleasing the left-wing activists on its staff and the liberal activists who dominate on the news and social media. Arthur Ochs Sulzberger’s dictum when he fired the newspaper’s public editor in May 2017 had come to pass in a terrible way. Recall that, at the time, he declared that the Times’ followers on social media would “collectively serve as a modern watch- dog, more vigilant and forceful than one person could ever be.” The Times let itself become hopelessly slanted. Captive to organized feedback on social media. Beholden to irredeemably conflicted staff members. Consumed by internal demons.

Hindsight is a beautiful commodity to acquire. Just think, if America hadn't 'tested' the A-bomb, we wouldn't have known how dangerous it was. Of course, it would have left the 'field' wide open for Nazi Germany to exploit. Now that would have been wise on America's part, wouldn't it have just? As for the 'new' diplomatic tool of 'detente' that emerge closely on the heels of the 'atomic age,' well just maybe America should have left Communist Russia to take over the rest of the world. Come to think of it, "Its errors, have now spread throughout the rest of the world" only, someone forgot to tell Catholic Biden, or indeed, Catholic Francis and seemingly any other Catholic notary, apart from an exceptional few. Yep! Hindsight is a wonderful gift to have.
