John Kasich: Number Of Mentally Ill In Prison Is “A Disgrace” by Christopher Massie: “Ohio Gov. and likely Republican presidential candidate John Kasich argued last week that the number of mentally ill people in prison is ‘a disgrace’ and touted the changes made by his administration to help treat those afflicted.”

Supreme Court Rules For Woman Denied Abercrombie & Fitch Job Over Headscarf by NPR: “The Supreme Court has ruled 8-1 in favor of a young Muslim woman who was denied a job at Abercrombie & Fitch because she wore a headscarf.”

South Sudan swirls toward chaos by Michael Gerson: “Their suffering now raises a question: Will we merely watch as the world’s most fragile state is smashed into pieces?”

La Sagrada Familia Basilica: A Pilgrimage by Michael Infantine: “The beauty of La Sagrada Familia is that it is truly a living place. Each day, as it comes closer and closer to becoming what it was created to be, a perfect space of praise and eucharistic offering, this church answers a more and more emphatic ‘yes’ to this call of Christ’s. And so with us.”

Why I’m Still Catholic by Timothy O’Malley: “I remain Catholic because when I am saved, when I enjoy the fullness of the beatific vision, it will not be as an individual, who has employed private judgment. It will be as a member of a body of believers, whose vocation is simply to love.”

Studies Show Paul Ryan Is Wrong and Obama Is Right: You Didn’t Build That by Jonathan Chait: “None of this is to say that inherent ability or hard-work have no bearing — they data suggest they do. Nor is this to say that we should stop advising people to try their hardest and do everything within their power to advance themselves — of course we should (and Obama does so regularly). But the conservative belief that our income mostly reflects merit is not only a philosophy to which they’re entitled to subscribe, it is also the simple denial of reality.”

26 years after Tiananmen, things are worse in China by Chen Guangcheng:“The blood of Chinese citizens is already being shed. The detention and surveillance of people such as human rights activist Gao Zhisheng, artist Ai Weiwei, scholar Guo Yushan, anti-corruption activist Liu Ping, human rights lawyer Guo Feixiong and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Liu Xiaobo are well known, but all over there are forms of brutality being inflicted on the people without the world’s notice.”

Help for the world’s ‘broken places’ by Michael Gerson: “The poverty that remains, however, is increasingly concentrated in the hardest places to touch and reach: fragile states such as South Sudan. More than 50 percent of people living in extreme poverty are found in the 50 most vulnerable countries, according to World Vision. This group counts 70 percent of the world’s infant mortality and 77 percent of children who aren’t in school.”
