kennedy: apparently there is no gluten-free will according to the catholic church.i feel the pain and the plight of my compromised brothers and sisters. and i haven't had communion for years. but in the greek church we get andi -- a rock. the holy father is lucky enough not to be plagued by the autoimmune condition. wine is not enough to complete the spiritual circle of transformation. if you consider up to 90% of celiacs go undiagnosed, that's a lot of people affected. perhaps the orthodox and catholic churches can work together to insure those who hunger for the holy gift are not sickened in their spiritual quest. thank you for watching the show tonight. you can follow me on twitter and instagram. email ken web. i wasn't here last week for hate mail so there is a lot to catch up on. champions of liberty in all presentation for crepe erase, the number one anti-aging body treatment system for crepey skin!

venezuela's roman catholic church has criticised president nicolas maduro‘s decision to have the constitutionewritten. it said the plan will turn the country into a military dictatorship. mr maduro ordered the establishment of the constituent assembly in may. now on bbc news, click. on july 12th, the internet, as we know it, will change. go to amazon, twitter, reddit or many other sites and you could be asked to wait on a slower connection, or pay extra, or you may be blocked altogether. thankfully, these warnings aren't real. they're part of an internet—wide protest, with the aim of protecting net neutrality. net neutrality is the basic principle that protects our freedom of speech on the internet. it's the guiding rules that have made the internet into what it is today, and it prevents our internet service providers — so the cable companies like comcast, horizon and at&t — from controlling what we can see and do when we go online. under the net neutrality principle, all data should be treated equally by isps. that means they can't slow down companies who refuse to pay to have their data pri

this film has been well received by the catholic church and is usedreligious programs throughout the united states. this is an example of the powerful role the vatican plays in international affairs. recently i produced another documentary film entitled" divine mercy." these projects along with my decades long membership, have given me the opportunities to build relationships with many church members, clergy and religious scholars. these have instilled n my the highest respect for the holy sea, a deep the holy sea, a deep appreciation for the responsibility of this post and confidence that the united states/vatican bilateral relationship is a force for good and one that cannot be ignored. as a lifelong catholic, business owner, documentary film maker, author and former public servant, i am profoundly humbled at the prospect of serving my country as the united states ambassador to the holy sea. if confirmed i will work diligently to develop even stronger ties between the united states and the holy c. mr. chairman, mr. ranking member and members of the committee, i appreciate the oppor
