As the Bahamas reels from the death and destruction Hurricane Dorian caused, the news media continue to exaggerate a connection between hurricanes to climate change.
Claims ranged from global warming making it "bigger, wetter — and more deadly," to calling Dorian's stall a "signal of climate change," to insisting climate change is "worsening" hurricanes (without proof). CNN, CNBC, The New York Times and other outlets, including agenda-driven publications like InsideClimate News and the left-wing Democracy Now! show all linked the latest hurricane to climate change.
Democratic socialist presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also joined the fray calling Dorian "what climate change looks like." CNN's Sept. 4, climate forum with Democratic presidential candidates was chock full of blaming climate change for the hurricane too.
The Guardian, which recently co-led an effort for more climate alarmism in the news with Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation, published an op-ed from climate scientists Michael Mann and Andrew Dessler. Mann is famous (or perhaps infamous) for his "hockey stick" graph of global warming.
"Global heating made Hurricane Dorian bigger, wetter — and more deadly," the alarmist headline proclaimed. Mann and Dessler also warned climate change would turn more places into "nightmarish hellscapes," before admitting "the science has yet to come in" on how much it worsened Dorian or if it did.
In a fevered pitch Mann and Dessler warned, "the worst part is this is only the beginning. Because unless we confront the climate crisis, warming will turn more and more of our fantastic landscapes, cities we call paradise and other dream destinations into nightmarish hellscapes."
On Sept. 3, CNBC.com turned to Mann who claimed, "Human-caused climate change is visibly intensifying hurricanes and increasing the damage they are doing." CNBC's headline claimed Dorian was "a signal of climate change."
Meanwhile Dessler showed up in a Sept. 3, New York Times story that sought to answer the question "How has climate change affected Hurricane Dorian?" Dessler claimed there was a "very strong consensus" about increased rainfall of these storms. The Times also included other alarmist scientists arguing there is a "trend" in stalled hurricanes and that Dorian was what "we expect to see more often as a response to climate change."
Professor Roger Pielke, Jr. of the University of Colorado called Dessler's claim out in a Forbes column as "simply wrong."
"Instead of referencing the assessments of the WMO, NOAA or USNCA the Times instead relied on a climate scientist who does not research hurricanes and who apparently invented a fictional consensus on rainfall and hurricanes," Pielke wrote.
This was a serious charge, especially given that Pielke actually agrees that human-caused climate change is "real and poses significant risks." He's also argued for decarbonization. However, he challenged the media to stop intentionally mixing up climate and weather for political reasons and criticized the selective inclusion scientists on the "bullish fringe" of consensus forecasts from government agencies.
The Spectator UK noted that NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory reviewed the research on global warming and hurricanes in August and said, "it is premature to conclude with high confidence that human activity – and particularly greenhouse warming – has already caused a detectable change in Atlantic hurricane activity."
While those outlets were talking to plenty of alarmist climate scientists, they were ignoring voices like Dr. Roy Spencer, a meteorologist and principal research scientists at the University of Alabama-Huntsville.
Spencer told Fox News on Sept. 2, "There's all kinds of statistics you can look at, Martha and the ones I look at are the long-term. Because that's climate. Climate is long-term. And since 1900 out of all of the major hurricanes that have hit Florida there has been no long-term trend in either the intensity or in the number of major hurricanes."
"Even if Dorian were to hit Florida as a Category 4, which it looks like now is not going to happen. There would still be no long-term trend," Spencer continued.
When anchor Martha McCallum asked about the claim that sea surface temperatures Dorian moved through were warmer than normal, Spencer agreed the water has been warming. But still he challenged the assertions being made about it.
Spencer concluded that, "If you look at the data going back over a hundred years you really can't support increasing hurricane activity with the increasing sea surface temperatures we are seeing."
He also told her that "The seven hurricanes since 1871, the seven hurricanes that went over the most unusually warm water for that time of year and then hit Florida — all of them occurred before 1950."

FLASHBACK: Today's Impeachment Cheerleaders Hated It Back in '98


Michael Bassett
Former Minister of Local Government. Member of the Waitangi Tribunal 1994-2004. Michael Bassett was born in Auckland 1938, and educated at Owairaka School, Dilworth School and Mt Albert Grammar. He completed his BA (1958) and MA degrees in history at the University of Auckland before winning a James B. Duke Fellowship to Duke University in 1961. There he completed a PhD in American history before returning to lecture at the University of Auckland in 1964. He was Senior Lecturer in History when elected to the Auckland City Council in 1971 and to New Zealand's parliament in 1972. He was a backbench MP in the Labour governments of Prime Ministers Norman Kirk and Bill Rowling (1972-5), and then a senior opposition figure before becoming Minister of Health and Local Government (1984-7) in the Labour administration of Prime Minister David Lange. Between 1987 and 1990 he was Minister of Internal Affairs, Local Government, Civil Defence and Arts and Culture. He was Chairman of the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board and of the 1990 Commission that commemorated the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Since retiring from active politics in 1990 Dr Bassett has worked with the New Zealand Expo team in Seville (1991-2), been J.B. Smallman Professor of History at the University of Western Ontario (1992-3, 1994 and 1996), and taught courses at Auckland University Medical School (1997-2000). In 2002 he was Fulbright Professor of New Zealand Studies at Georgetown University, Washington DC. He is the author of ten books on New Zealand History.
The Waitangi Industry
By Michael Bassett
There are few futuristic ideas that have lost their sheen as quickly as the notion that settlements of Maori grievances would improve New Zealand's race relations. Our ancestors were sceptical. There were inquiries into grievances in 1921 and 1927, and Prime Minister Peter Fraser told Maori in the 1940s that he would settle the eleven sets of identifiable grievance that Maori had against the Crown. Several "full and final settlements" were made between 1943 and 1947. But most of the money paid to Maori trust boards was wasted.
Instead of learning from this experience, liberally-inclined politicians gradually convinced themselves that the complaints of those who had missed out on the 1940s settlements ought to be thoroughly investigated. Norman Kirk's Minister of Maori Affairs, Matiu Rata, was opposed; the Waitangi Tribunal erected in 1975 was to look at the Treaty of Waitangi and to ensure that its "principles" were applied to future public policy. No provision was made for delving into past history. Young, vocal Maori radicals protested. Eventually they convinced a later Labour deputy leader, Geoffrey Palmer, and a Maori Affairs spokesperson, Koro Wetere, to promise to introduce a mechanism for examining historical grievances. These had expanded in number since the first settlements. The Lange Labour government in which I was a minister was sceptical about whether the exercise would do anything useful for Maori, but in 1985 we allowed the Waitangi Tribunal to be expanded. As in 1975, no effort was made to determine what the so-called "principles" of the Treaty were that should guide the investigation process. In 1987 this omission enabled the Court of Appeal to produce a highly coloured version of what the Treaty meant, and before long several Maori radicals sought to drive a horse and cart through government policy. They succeeded, because neither Labour nor National has been prepared to define in legislation what the Treaty meant.
By the early 1990s the Waitangi Tribunal employed many people, and its appointed members gradually became advocates for Maori rather than independent assessors on the claims put before them. Money was given to Maori claimants to mount their cases. It came either from the Crown Forest Rental Trust (CFRT) or from Legal Aid funded by the taxpayer. Lawyers started helping themselves to the cash. By the time I joined the Tribunal in 1994 hearings were awash with lawyers, most on Legal Aid, with the claims before us being funded by the CFRT or the Tribunal's taxpayer funded resources. Virtually none of the costly process was paid for upfront by the claimants. They therefore had no incentive to be careful with taxpayers' money, or even with the Maori money that many were eventually to receive from the CFRT. Rorting the Tribunal process has become the name of the game. A whole industry numbering somewhere around 1,000 people gathered around new grievances that keep being dreamt up. Quite small family groups now call themselves tribes; personal disagreements with relatives get blown into major claims. And the taxpayer keeps paying up. A Maori minister in the present Labour government has talked about "the next generation of grievances" despite the fact that he and his colleagues have voted in Parliament for "full and final" settlements. The starry eyed optimism of 1985 has become a farce because of a lack of political willpower.
Not surprisingly, the industry doesn't want the Tribunal process ever to end. After 23 years, no decision has yet been made to close off new historical claims. The major parties dither. Labour wants the party vote of Maori; National isn't sure they mightn't need the Maori Party's support after the coming election. Both major political parties know that what is happening is wrong, and that ordinary Maori in whose name the claims are made, aren't getting a cracker out of the money being spent on lawyers, researchers and Tribunal staff. The spinelessness that we have come to expect of politicians in an MMP environment assists the greedy, when it was the needy we set out to help in 1985.
The Waitangi Tribunal experiment, unfortunately, has been so badly handled that few "full and final" settlements have been made, and only Ngai Tahu. and of late, Tainui, seem to have handled their settlements efficiently. Despite receiving their report 15 years ago, Muriwhenua in the north faces a logjam caused mostly by infighting amongst groups of potential beneficiaries. The Waitangi process has seen few Maori leaders of stature emerge, and the problems bedeviling Maori society continue to expand exponentially. When politicians settled on land grievances as the cause of Maori problems they made a mistake. It would have made better sense to examine welfare and the huge damage it has done to Maori society. The Waitangi Tribunal should be scaled down. The industry is of no use to 99% of the people it's meant to serve.

This chapter develops a new account of the evolution of cognitive representational decision making—i.e. of decision making that relies on representations about the state of the world. The core idea behind this account is that cognitive representational decision making can—at times—be more cognitively efficient than non-cognitive representational decision making. In particular, cognitive representational decision making, by being able to draw on the inferential resources of higher-level mental states, can enable organisms to adjust more easily to changes in their environment and to streamline their neural decision making machinery (relative to non-representational decision makers). While these cognitive efficiency gains will sometimes be outweighed by the costs of this way of making decisions—i.e. the fact that representational decision making is generally slower and more concentration- and attention-hungry than non-representational decision making—this will not always be the case. Moreover, it is possible to say in more detail which kinds of circumstances will favor the evolution of cognitive representational decision making, and which do not.Less

This chapter defends a cognitive-efficiency-based account of the evolution of conative representational decision making. The core idea behind this account is that, similarly to cognitive representational decision makers, conative representational decision makers can, in some circumstances, adjust more easily to a changed environment and streamline their neural decision making machinery. However, as I also make clearer, the origins of these benefits are different here than in the case of cognitive representational decision making: they center on patterns in the way the organism reacts to the world, and not on patterns in the states of the world that the organism can react to. This has some important implications for the situations in which conative representational decision making is adaptive relative to when cognitive representational decision making is adaptive. The chapter ends by combining the picture laid out here with that laid out in the previous chapter to develop a clearer account of the relationship between the evolution of conative and the evolution of cognitive representational decision making.Less

It is now widely accepted that many organisms (including humans) don't just react to the world using behavioral reflexes, but also, at times, decide what to do by relying on mental representations. More specifically, the behavior of many organisms is not simply triggered by a perception of the state of their environment, but inferred using higher-level mental states downstream from their perceptual states. What is far less clear is why this is the case: what benefits does representational decision making bring to an organism, and what implications do these benefits have for the exact role that mental representations play in an organism's decision making machinery? In my book, I provide answers to these questions. Specifically, I defend a cognitive-efficiency-based account of the evolution of mental representations, according to which a key driver of the evolution of representational decision making is the fact that mental representations can enable an organism to save a number of cognitive resources and to adjust more easily to changed environments. I then apply this account to a number of open questions in different sciences, including: when should we expect cognition to essentially involve parts of the environment? When should we expect decision making to rely on simple, satisficing heuristics? When should we expect organisms to be altruistically motivated to help others? Along the way, I also respond to concerns about the plausibility of evolutionary psychological projects more generally.Less

On Obedience and Dissent Within the Catholic Church (Part I)
(In too many places, this is the unspoken assumption today)
One thing I find especially interesting within the Catholic Church is the tendency to emphasize the teachings, and speak against those teachings we point out… until we run afoul of those teachings we dislike or disagree with. Then of course, the Church is wrong and we consider ourselves to be justified in our dissent against the Church.
Of course, in all cases, the dissenter never says, "To hell with this, I just don't feel like obeying." Instead, they always justify their disobedience in some way. Let's look at some of these ways.
Justification #1: "The Church is Out of Touch With the Real World"
If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone argue that the Church was "out of touch" with the real world or with the laity and therefore we didn't need to heed an unpopular teaching, I'd probably be doing something other than blogging right now. This is an argument which runs as follows:
If the Church understood the real world, they wouldn't make [teaching X]
The fact that they demand we follow [teaching X] shows they are out of touch with the real world
After all… [Go to #1]
This is arguing in a circle of course. The Church is claimed to be out of touch because they teach such, and if they weren't out of touch, they wouldn't teach this. The argument assumes the teaching is "out of touch" and repeats the premise as a conclusion.
However, "If the Church understood the real world, they wouldn't make this teaching" is something which needs to be proven. Remember that the "real world" is afflicted with sin. We might remember a little something that St. Paul mentioned:
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, for it is written: "He catches the wise in their own ruses,"
20 and again: "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." (1 Corinthians 3:17)
So the question becomes, "By whose standard is the Church out of touch? God's standard or Man's standard? According to the wisdom of the world, the cross of Christ is foolishness, while St. Paul tells us in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect."
So the question is, On whose authority do we claim the Church teaching is "out of touch"? If we claim it is out of touch with God's standard, we are justified in asking what authority one invokes to make that claim. If we claim it is out of touch with man's standard, then the question is, how is the preference of the sinful man a criterion for deciding right and wrong?
Justification #2: "The Church is being dominated by Liberals/Conservatives who are trying to force their agenda" (OR "The Church is "Pro-X or Anti-Y")
This one is similar to the "Out of touch" justification. Such a person who makes this argument seeks to cling to the appearance of obedience to the true teaching of the Church, but this Pope or the bishop teaching in communion with him is obviously a sympathizer or trying to hijack the Church to their own agenda, right?
Such an argument is in effect the denial of the infallibility of the Magisterium and instead claims that the individual knows better what is the true good of the Church. It too is arguing in a circle:
The Church must be dominated by Liberals/Conservatives because they teach [X]
They wouldn't teach [X] if they weren't dominated by Liberals/Conservatives
Now of course we have to distinguish between Church teaching, and the dissenting priest or other who does allow his teaching with a political viewpoint, but this is hardly a new thing. 400 years ago, there were accusations of the Church favoring France or Spain against the Holy Roman Empire, and indeed there were people within the Church who did indeed put ideological concerns over the teachings of the Church (Look up Cardinal Richelieu for example). However, such people were acting against the teachings of the Church, and this is quite different than someone alleging that the Catholic teaching on contraception or the reform of the Liturgy means the teaching authority of the Church is controlled by a faction which is contrary to the will of God.
Justification #3: "The Church teaching is based on an out of date world view."
While I dealt with this one in my article Chronological Snobbery, I think we need to take a look at this in context of dissent and not just in the rejection of religion in general.
This argument again, argues in a circle:
The Church teaching is based on an out of date world view.
If the Church wasn't out of date, they wouldn't be teaching this
This is sometimes invoked in the disagreement with a moral issue. St. Thomas Aquinas' comments on morality are considered based on the lack of knowledge at the time, and if he had up to date knowledge he would have made a different decision. The irony of course is when people who make this argument also cite him as permitting abortion within the first 40 days of conception (false: He still considered it a grave sin, but thought it a different sin than after the 40th day). What this argument (which is actually the appeal to newness fallacy) fails to recognize is that the Church has made use of scientific discoveries to deepen the teachings of moral issues.
In other situations, this is invoked against doctrines. The argument is that the Catholic belief in Transubstantiation was based on an outdated Aristotelian system of essence and accident, and that studies in the fields of atoms makes it obsolete.
Actually it does not. Transubstantiation is the belief that while the appearance (accident) of bread and wine remain, its essence (substance) is changed to being literally the body and blood of Christ. Appeals to sub-atomic particles are irrelevant, because the essence is not something which cannot be determined by science.
We can look at it this way. Science can define the human being biologically as Homo sapiens. It cannot define the essence of the human person which has human rights. In different times, nations have ruled certain human beings to be "non-persons" because of melanin in the skin, or gender, or being mentally deficient or possessing certain ethnic traits.
The Church would hold, however, that those elements of ethnic differences or differences in ability are merely the appearance (accidents), while the essence (substance) of the human person exists regardless of the difference in the appearances. Any being which holds the essence of being a human person, is a human person regardless of the accidents of the individual.
Justification #4: "The Church changed Teachings before. It will do so with this eventually."
This is the first justification which is not arguing in a circle (though it sometimes bases its assumption on one of the above). However, it does show a gross misunderstanding between things which cannot change and things that can. To understand this, we need to recognize the difference between doctrine and discipline.
Doctrine are these teachings the Church has no right to reverse, because to do so would be to contradict the God we believe in. We cannot change beliefs about the nature of Christ and the Trinity. We cannot change teachings on morality (the Church will never say it is OK to have premarital sex, for example). We cannot change the substance of the sacraments. The Church cannot ever sanction "Gay marriage" or say we can celebrate the Eucharist using Pizza and Coke, or ordain women to the priesthood.
The reason we cannot do any of those things listed above is this would be to contradict the teachings and nature of the God we believe in. What God has established to be followed, we do not have the authority to contradict. We may in time deepen our understanding of a doctrine, but we will never go from believing [A] to believing [Not-A].
Discipline on the other hand are teachings which the Church can change if they see a good reason for it. The use of Latin vs. the Vernacular in Mass is an accident. Changing the language does not change what the Mass is. The Church could change the discipline on unmarried priests for a serious enough reason. We do recognize it as possible (Eastern Rite Catholics and Eastern Orthodox permits the ordination of married men). The receiving the Eucharist under both species can be permitted or denied depending on the needs of the faithful (for example, when an erroneous belief came up that one had to receive both or it did not count as a valid reception, the Church has restricted the chalice from the laity).
Changing disciplines are changing of the appearances/accidents and do not change the essence/substance of the Church teaching, and this is what makes the justification of "The Church changed before, and it will eventually change here." It confuses the changing of a discipline with the belief that a doctrine can be changed, and thus looks with hope to the election of a new Pope with the assumption of Justifications #1-3 above. The Hope is that this new Pope will "be in touch," will not be "dominated by liberalism/conservatism" or will have an "up to date world view."
This is what happened with the hostility to the 1968 encyclical, Humanae Vitae. The intent of the investigation was over whether the Birth Control Pill was to be considered contraception, because it operated differently than previous forms of contraception (which were largely the "barrier method.")
In other words, the question was whether the essence of the Pill was different than the essence of contraception, or whether the difference between the Pill and things like the diaphragm and the condom were merely differences of accident.
Once it became clear that the "Pill" was indeed contraception (that is, they shared the same essence), the Church reiterated its teaching on contraception. Many people, believing the Church was going to change its teaching on contraception itself became angry, and accused the Church of "being out of touch," of "being dominated by conservatives" and "having an out of date world view."
So the danger of this justification #4 is that it assumes that the Church has the ability to change anything and that it can see the change as a good thing. In reality, if the Church recognizes that to make a change is something she has no right to change or if the Church sees that there is no good which will come from such a change, the person who justifies their own disobedience by saying a change will come eventually is extremely presumptuous.
Justification #5: "The Church Leaders are Hypocrites."
This one is essentially a tu quoque fallacy. It assumes that because some individuals within the hierarchy fail to live up to their obligations, it means that we are not bound to listen to them. However (and this is the flaw of all tu quoque arguments), just because a person fails to live up to their obligations does not prove that the Church teaching itself is false.
Now, if it was believed the authority of the Church was merely that of a human institution, invoking the piety and right behavior of the leaders as the right to decree behavior one might be able to argue that the evidence of hypocrites within the Church Hierarchy meant there was not obligated to heed their teachings.
However, if we acknowledge that the head of the Church is Christ, and the Pope is merely his Vicar (the term means "a representative or deputy," and we believe that Peter and his successors are established as a representative for Christ, to whom He too must obey), then the authority the Church possesses is given the Church by Christ (See Matt 28:18-20, John 20: 21-23) and the rejection of the authority of the Church is the rejection of the authority of Christ (See Luke 10:16).
I recognize the non-Catholic will most probably reject this. After all, they do not believe that the Catholic Church was established by Christ, but rather came later. (I reject this view of course, but this is not the topic of discussion).
However, for the Catholic to reject this view is to deny something which we are called to believe as being taught by Christ, and the obvious question is why they remain within if they think the Church is wrong on the teaching of herself.
If we believe that the Church had the power to bind and to loose (See Matt 16:19 and 18:18), and that she would be protected from error (see Matt 28:20), then it follows that when the magisterium teaches formally, we do not have the right to loosen what she binds, nor to bind what she loosens.
Justification #6: "The Church doesn't understand the real meaning of the Scriptures, and therefore is 'cruel'."
While this is one of the "arguing in a circle" arguments, it usually follows from #5, so I place it here. This attempt to justify dissent essentially claims:
the Church doesn't understand the real meaning of Scripture or it wouldn't be so harsh
The Church teaching is harsh because it doesn't understand the meaning of Scripture
Left unanswered is on what justification the Church teaching is to be considered "harsh" in the official teaching authority compared to the wrong behavior of some of her members. The question is who has the authority to determine what teachings are just and which are unjust.
Usually, the person invoking this argument looks at half the meaning of Scripture. We have a God who loves and rewards good. However, we also have the unmentioned half of Scripture: The God who commands that we be holy as He is holy (Leviticus 19:2), and warns of Hell for those who fail to heed His words (see Matt 25).
Indeed, the person who says the Church is cruel probably has an interesting view of Scriptures:
In a recent rather hawkish and Inquisitorial outburst, our august liberator Moses was seen smashing a couple of stone tablets and gesticulating furiously as the people gave vent to a little midsummer revelry. Fresh from an extended vacation on Mt. Sinai, the Egyptian blueblood turned theocrat ordered that the whole festival be repressed. Within minutes, the fleshpots had been confiscated, and the couples ordered to re-clothe. This evidently not being enough, Moses then decreed that the Golden Calf (an important part of the new multifaith service) be melted down and put on the Index of Forbidden Items. Witnesses at the scene felt thoroughly oppressed by the apparition, and there was even talk of someone's inner child having bled. One freethinker noted that if a little merry-making after the rigours of the desert were to be forbidden, then "we might as well all just go and beat ourselves to death in our graves."
"As a Chosen Person I feel ashamed" his liberated beau added, "The destruction of the Golden Calf goes against the values of diversity, tolerance, and inclusivity, which progressive Israelites pride themselves upon." A chorus of similar opinions were aired as camp psychologists distributed emergency crying towels. Only a few loyalists supported Moses' actions. "When we hear that the Lord is a jealous God" his publicist stated, "it doesn't mean that He is petty and vindictive, just that He is zealous for His own people's good." But 90% of Israelites surveyed agreed that such hairsplitting is hypocritical, and that the Golden Calf should have been placed beside the Ark of the Covenant in celebration of peace, love, and tolerance for all. However, one staunch pre-Calf of the old establishment wagged his beard in disagreement. "Going to the dogs" he said, pointing to the youth. "It's worse than Egypt. At least there we had rods for them." Such crusty opinions are representative of the Mosaic Right, and form a largely reactionary response to Goldencalfism.
The general consensus in the camp seemed to be that while Moses and conservatives like him are well within their rights to worship the Lord God, it is nothing short of reptilian prudery to demonize people's sexual preferences, and nothing less than crass dogmatism to ban a revered symbol of the Egyptian Faith. As a sweet-voiced orator with a trim goatee and the odd addition of something like red horns (he is not therefore to be discriminated against) so brilliantly put it: "What is "idolatry of a graven image" to one man" he said, "might in the final analysis just be the necessary precursor to a pluralistic society founded upon the universal values of tolerance, acceptance, and freedom of conscience for all. Let the spooky old prejudices of a bygone era keel over like a palsied brontosaurus. We have today the opportunity to build a brave New Israel which respects the native spiritualities of the Egyptians, the Canaanites, and the Babylonians, weaving together a rich multicultural tapestry - a land flowing with milk and honey indeed."
(See here and here for more examples)
Essentially the problem with this justification to dissent is that it assumes that the teachings of the Church are merely manmade and can err, while the person who dissents assumes he or she cannot err. So the question to be asked is On what basis do you claim your personal feelings are not in error? Let's face it. People exploit our emotions all the time. Pity, fear, desire, anger. Politicians do it, we deceive ourselves. Many tragic events of history came to be through a demagogue appealing to our emotions instead of to our reason.
Essentially, this justification is nothing more than the denial of the authority of the Church to teach in a binding way, which brings up the question, why be Catholic to begin with if you reject they possess the authority they claim?
While in this article, I dealt with some of the justifications used (there are more), next time I would like to look at some of the motives that lead people into dissent. Not all of those who fall into dissent do so out of malice, after all

Egypt jails Brotherhood head Badie for 10 years over clashes
AFP December 22, 2015
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie raises as a judge reads out the verdict sentencing him and more than 100 other defendants, including Egypt's deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, to death in May 16, 2015 (AFP Photo/KHALED DESOUKI)
Cairo (AFP) - An Egyptian military court Tuesday sentenced Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie to 10 years in prison over deadly clashes following the 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, judicial officials said.
Ninety other defendants who were tried in absentia were sentenced to life terms, which in Egypt means 25 years.
Badie and dozens of others were found guilty of participating in clashes that killed 31 people in the canal city of Suez between August 14 and 16, 2013.
The clashes erupted after police brutally broke up two pro-Morsi protest camps in Cairo on August 14 that year.
The charges in the military trial included vandalism, inciting violence, murder, assaulting military personnel and setting fire to armoured personnel carriers and two Coptic churches in Suez.
Badie, the Brotherhood's spiritual guide, was sentenced to 10 years along with fellow Brotherhood leader Mohamed Beltagy and Safwat Hegazy, a pro-Brotherhood Islamist, army and judicial officials said.
Forty-one defendants were sentenced to serve between three and seven years, 90 others were handed down life sentences and 59 others were acquitted.
Tuesday's sentences can be appealed.
Badie is facing several trials and has been sentenced to death in a separate case along with Morsi for plotting jailbreaks and attacks on police during the 2011 uprising that ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
The Brotherhood chief has also been handed life sentences in five other cases.
Hundreds of Morsi supporters were killed on August 14, 2013 when police stormed their camps in Cairo, just weeks after the Islamist president was ousted by then army chief and now President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Military tribunals in Egypt have faced criticism for their harsh and swift verdicts.
Egypt's constitution allows military trials of civilians accused of violence against military targets -- which include public infrastructure such as highways and bridges as well as universities.
Since Morsi's overthrow, the authorities have launched a brutal crackdown against his supporters, leaving hundreds dead and thousands jailed after often speedy mass trials.
Morsi himself is facing several trials and has already been sentenced to death in one case. The Brotherhood has been outlawed as a "terrorist organisation".

Robert Kirkman Offers An Update For the Invincible Live-Action Movie
Four years ago, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg signed on to direct an Invincible live-action movie. However, there hasn't been much traction on that progress. But with the Invincible animated series just two months away, co-creator Robert Kirkman has confirmed that the film is still happening.
While speaking with EW, Kirkman said the Invincible movie was still in the "very early going" stages. He also reiterated that two projects are not related to each other.
"That [film] is still very much in development," said Kirkman. "That hasn't changed. We're just taking a long time. But we've been fortunate enough to have a two-track plan with Invincible. Right now we've got the animated series at Amazon, which is now on the cusp of launching, and then we're also still developing it as a film series with Universal, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg attached. So, those two things are still very much happening concurrently, which is somewhat weird, I guess. But there've been Spider-Man animated series and Spider-Man movies at the same time. So, I think we're in good company."
Additionally, Kirkman shared his belief that the animated series will deliver a closer adaptation of the comic.
"It's a great way for us to stand apart in a crowded landscape," noted Kirkman. "But more than that, I think that it allows us to more properly adapt the Invincible comic. The Invincible comic will have one battle on earth, and then the next scene will be a battle in space, and then there'll be an alien invasion, and then there'll be another guy that attacks after the alien invasion. There's no way that we could keep this level of insanity up in live-action. We would have to do a tremendous amount of bottle episodes to level it all out."
The Invincible animated series will premiere on Amazon Prime on Friday, March 26.
