I'm concerned that government officials will baselessly claim that there are "too many questions that need to be answered" before they will swear in and seat those who win in the midterm elections. I hope I'm wrong.

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins. When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look. When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.

"For many Americans, what Leo said about being pro-life seemed a bold political stance. Yet for him, and for all those Catholics whose instincts and outlooks have been forged outside the US, it was classic Cath social teaching — and...just basic pastoral common sense." cruxnow.com/news-analysi...

Some people are gorging on poison at the Catholic "cafeteria," and it's making them very sick.

The fruits of the Holy Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, and chastity. You can see these fruits in a country (and the leaders of a country) who follow God.

Thank you Pope Leo

Pope Leo begins Dilexi Te w/ these: “You have but little power… I will make them come & bow down before your feet” (Rev 3:8-9). “He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty” (Lk 1:52-53). Got it!
