Raymond Arroyo did introduce Laura Ingraham at CAPAC convention in 2018. Another appreanve of an affiliation between Fox News and EWTN.
 
Had you said nearly all unsecured loans have balloon payments, I wouldn’t have called nonsense on your statement. As a loan closer you will agree the devil is in the details.

Farms tend to us FCS which yes, are subsidized and very easily insurable for them.

Business loans for property, equipment, vehicles, etc, make up a lot of loans in the business sector. Are there loan options for businesses which have balloon payments, yep, do most businesses refinance well before the end of the term, yep.

Just for kicks, check with your lenders and ask if they have ever been paid less than 100 percent of the principle on a bankruptcy, or if they have negotiated the principle balance down, ie forgiving portions of the loans instead of bankruptcy. If the economy does tank in the next 18 months or so, this will become a common event I feel.

We could go on and on, but my guess is folks here aren’t too interested in business operating practices and financing options. Just my guess.
 
It’s just tilting at windmills in my opinion.
If it saves one life, it saves the world entire.

Do you think prolife people don’t help the women and babies? In my experience, they’re the only people who actually do. For most of the abortion supporters, it’s just talk.
Why not fight so hard to have sex before marriage illegal?
While having sex outside marriage is immoral, both parties survive. Aborted children don’t.

Sounds more like a friendship or an affiliation between Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo, and there isn’t anything wrong with that.

I almost never close unsecured loans. I’m talking about real estate loans primarily although equipment loans have the same features. I see at least one/week.

Yes, most do. In fact, that’s typical, and usually with the same lender.

Sure it happens. It’s called a “cram down” for obvious reasons. But you don’t get crammed down if you’re fully secured. It’s only if you aren’t that you can be crammed down. Theory is (and it’s true) that if the borrower goes toes up and gets liquidated, you’ll only get the secured amount anyway.
 
Each party is severely corrupted. Our choices are abysmal especially at the National level.

Imagine a (sincerely) pro life Democratic Party—they would be in the drivers seat for quite a while.

We need candidates that will talk to those in both parties. Negotiate something better than the crap we’ve gotten most recently.
 
No problem at all with their personal friendship, as they have alot in common. But the appearance of an affiliation between Fox News and EWTN is certainly there, as well as the appearance of a pro - GOP and pro- Trump bias of, an or an affiliation with EWTN. Again, it’s the appearance.

I’m sorry, but as I said, going by what something appears to be is making assumptions and assumptions never go well and are not fair to those having assumptions made against them.

Also, as I said, it could be Fox news wanting to line itself more with the Church or EWTN, not EWTN aligning itself with Fox.

I refuse to assume a conspiracy based on appearances. Been there, done that.

But you are guaranteeing that there is absolutely no political bias on any of the shows on EWTN? Not even a hint of Conservative and/or pro- GOP, pro- Trump, anti-Democrat, anti- Liberal bias anywhere on EWTN? I’m not assuming anything right now, just trying to ask an objective question, and expanding my inquiry by just asking anyone on this board if there is or isn’t any hint of anything political on EWTN.

“Conspiracy”, really? Where did that come from? I never said a “Conspiracy”, as that would be an "assumption"on your part, no? That word is nowhere to be found in my posts, and furthermore, I don’t generally believe in conspiracy theories, except where there is proof, like in the 1942 Wansee Conference, for example. But I’ve digressed. You’ve assumed that I said or think that there is a “conspiracy”, which I certainly DO NOT believe at all. “Assumptions never go well and are not fair to those having assumptions made against them”, as a wise sage once told me. The assumptions against me are not fair. Just sayin’.

I think Catholics come up with a lot of ways to justify voting for pro-abortion democrats and these democrats today are not just people who agree with such evils but are those enacting laws or allowing laws that not only support the evils but push the evils on society.
I am not going to get back into why I would consider voting for someone who is pro abortion. You will simply have to go back and read what I have previously posted.

I think some Catholics will use a somewhat pro-life position by a republican candidate to justify overlooking many other issues and vote for them. I think some Catholics/christians claim to be pro life and then seek an abortion or encourage someone to get one when it suits them.

Facts are that there are many, many Catholics who choose to vote for democrats for some reason or another. Some may find it offensive, but it isn’t their decision, so it doesn’t really affect them.

And before someone points out we have an obligation to do this or that or whatever, yep, as Catholics we all are told to do the same things, although some of those things have changed over the centuries. All fail, even the Bishops, and Priests and folks running web sites and tv stations and those sitting in the pews who like telling others what they should be doing for one reason or another.

I can’t “guarantee” there is or isn’t. I have no idea how each individual on EWTN votes politically.

I personally have never seen anything political on EWTN though one’s religious belief will affect their political choices or political decisions Also, some with certain political views will avoid Christians that disagree with their agenda…

Seeing as how I’m one of the pro life people, of course we do!

And making sex before marriage illegal will also reduce abortion by at least one. Trying to overturn RvW won’t happen so it saves zero lives.*
  • I am assuming at least one person would obey that law…maybe even two!

IMHO what they are saying is in order to stop abortions the first thing that needs to be done is to recognize that the unborn are living human beings and that they have a right to life just the same as everyone else.
No, what I’m saying is even if there were no abortions I would still advocate for it to be illegal.

On saying that the fewer the better.
But wait most people wouldn’t even want to punish the woman if they got an illegal abortion.
I would.

Nobody is punished for smoking in front of a born person, even though that puts the born person at risk, so I’d restrict the punishment to actual murder.
 
o Chapter 11 doesn’t mean all creditors are paid in full what they are owed like you previously stated?
No reason to make it personal.

To my understanding, all creditors must be paid in full if the owner(s) are going to retain ownership of the business. But all creditors’ claims are reviewed by the Court for believability. Even if a creditor is “crammed down” as to his security, he doesn’t lose his claim. He simply joins the unsecured creditors for the part the judge thinks exceeds the value of the security. So if a creditor has a $200,000 claim and the judge finds that his security (collateral) is only $100,000, the creditor’s secured claim is reduced to $100,000 and the other $100,000 is converted to an unsecured claim.

Despair is one of the seven deadly sins. One should try to avoid it. And one should certainly resist counseling it to avoid that Luke 17:2 millstone.

Well, what would happen if someone started a "Christian Democrat"party? Wikipedia says that the USA has the “American Solidarity Party” as its Christian Democrat party. Seems strange that lots of more secular European countries have the word Christian in a party name and the USA doesn’t.

So you are not willing to apply your moral framework to all people and situations.
What is that?
Selective morality? Racism? Age discrimination? Hypocrisy?
What?
Are you saying I have selective mortality based on Racism, Age discrimination and Hypocrisy?
That’s very unchristian of you.
Yes I am.
You (justly) advocate for the abolition of needlessly deadly weapons that are used in shootings (I agree with you).
While at the same time giving a pass for the tools used to kill human beings on a massive scale. That is either contradictory, selective, hypocritical…only you can answer why you have a blind spot there.

You also (justly) condemn Adam Lanza for choosing to kill other human beings, while on the other hand tolerating the choice of others to kill human beings on a massively larger scale.

Yes, I am pointing out hypocrisy. And that is not uncharitable, it’s observing the elephant in the room. Only you can answer why you apply moral principles in selective ways.

I think Raymond is unnecessarily political in his presentation, on the conservative side.
I think he stokes the fires of dissent in the Church oddly enough. Whether that’s his intent I have no idea.
