Mike Johnson (R-La.) as Speaker after a tense and closely contested session.

  Narcissists and emotionally unavailable individuals each have distinct reasons for entering relationships, with vastly different consequences. Emotionally unavailable people may struggle due to recent break-ups, past traumas, or personal deficiencies hindering their ability to engage in healthy intimacy. Some may unintentionally seek out similarly unavailable partners to avoid attachment or overestimate their readiness for commitment. Others may opt to steer clear of relationships altogether due to fear of emotional pain. In stark contrast, narcissists and psychopaths deliberately enter into relationships with the intention of exploiting and manipulating others for their own gain. Unlike emotionally unavailable individuals, they lack genuine attachment and revel in the power and control they wield over their targets. Their tactics often involve excessive flattery, love bombing, and later devaluation, all designed to maintain dominance and feed their sense of superiority. While em...

The Vatican recently released a document titled "Dignitas Infinita" ("Infinite Dignity"), which outlines the Catholic Church's perspective on human dignity. While intended to honor and safeguard each person's inherent dignity, the document has sparked concern among LGBTQ individuals and their allies, particularly regarding its stance on gender-affirming surgery.

Notably, it solidifies some of the Church's conservative positions as official doctrine, diverging from the perceived progressive direction of the current papacy.

Criticism...
