After all, the belittling of John McCain's P.O.W. ordeal, the disparagement of the Khan family (whose son was killed in combat), the "heel spur" exemption from the draft and the puerile acceptance of a Purple Heart medal as a gift from a veteran: Were these not enough to rankle others like me who served in combat?

Add to that his constant disparagement of the intelligence community, seeming preference for Putin's assessments over the intelligence community's, and his decision to grant Attorney General William Barr authority to declassify intelligence as part of his probe into surveillance of Trump's 2016 campaign, and it's not a compelling vacancy announcement for anyone who wants to perform the actual responsibilities of the job.

A year ago observers would not have pinned the United States as the wobbly partner in the effort to get Russia to change course, but the fact is President Donald Trump's disparagement of NATO and rumors that the White House may be willing to forgive Russian aggression in return for counter-terrorism cooperation have undermined Western confidence in American leadership.

While the White House is suppressing other documents and as many witnesses as it can, there was no hesitation in publicizing Zelensky's textbook suck-up: calling Mr. Trump a "great teacher" from whom he has learned "skills and knowledge," affirming "we are great friends," eagerly agreeing with Trump's disparagement of Angela Merkel, not just "100%, but actually 1000%," and touting his stay at the Trump Tower in New York.

Pope Francis made clear that while he rejects some modern thinking around marriage — that it can hold you back or prevent you from being fulfilled — he embraces the modern idea of marriage as a form of friendship and companionship: Surely it is legitimate and right to reject older forms of the traditional family marked by authoritarianism and even violence, yet this should not lead to a disparagement of marriage itself, but rather to the rediscovery of its authentic meaning and its renewal.
