McFadden for Heisman!

All of us Arkansans think that Arkansas Razorback running back Darren McFadden is one of the best things to come out of Arkansas in a long time. Since the Razorbacks didn't have the best season this year, we are really pulling for McFadden to win the Heisman to redeem our season.

Since Nissan is the Heisman sponsor they get one official Heisman vote. They have decided to let the public vote to see who gets their official vote. If you click here you can vote towards Nissan's official vote. For those of you who are not from around here, and want to vote for someone else, it's okay if you don't vote.

Vote McFadden!

UN Death Penalty Decision

On Thursday the United Nations approved recommendation a moratorium (suspension) of the death penalty by all countries. The vote ended with 99 in favor, 52 against, and 33 not voting.

The resolution urges countries that apply this punishment to "establish a moratorium on executions, looking to abolish them."

Although countries are not required to follow the recommendations of the UN, Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and former Holy See representative at the United Nations (yes the Vatican has a UN rep), sees this as "a relevant step" towards ending the death penalty.

Continue to pray for an end to the culture of death throughout the world.

Read the Church's teaching on the Death Penalty in Catechism paragraph 2267.
