CATHOLIC: Hong Kong has a new law requiring priests to violate the Seal of Confession if they hear a person confess a “crime of treason.” The spiritual consequences of such a violation are far more severe than any worldly government can impose. It seems likely that priests will go into hiding to continue their ministry.

MARIJUANA: A study entitled “Association of Cannabis Use With Cardiovascular Outcomes Among US Adults” was recently published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. In it, researchers report on their analysis of data from over 434,000 patients aged 18 to 74, collected between 2016 and 2020 from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey.

Previous research has linked marijuana use to an increase in heart disease, but the findings were often dismissed because many of the participants also smoked tobacco, which has long been linked to various cardiovascular issues. Noting that cannabis smoke is similar to tobacco smoke, except the one contains THC while the other contains nicotine. Isolating those who did not use nicotine in any form, the study found that marijuana use increased the incidence of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. Even one joint per week increased the risks by 3%. Daily use increased the risks by 25% for heart attack and 42% for stroke.

SCOTUS: The Supremes have ruled unanimously that when public officials post on social media about their work, they are acting on behalf of the government and may not block anybody. But when they post on their personal accounts about unrelated matters, they can.

  1. Your nitpicky editor.

    “Hong Kong has a new [law? rule?] requiring priests to violate the Seal of Confession…”

    Law, I presume. Also,

    “when public officials post on social media bout their work…”

    Should have an apostrophe in front of ’bout. (Southern dialect.)
