I am grateful for weekends, when I can unplug from the big world and focus on the little world around me.

Sadly, many people will support anything as long as they feel they belong.

Even more wild that people are allowed to maintain vacant properties with rampant homelessness.

As the Supreme Court allows revocation of legal status for 532,000 immigrants, we remember Dr. King's words: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Our faith calls us to welcome strangers and defend the vulnerable. May American citizens stand with their immigrant neighbors.

As tensions rise over international student visas, we're reminded that fear can cloud our vision of unity. Like threads in a tapestry, Chinese and American students are interconnected in the persuit of learning. We must encourage our leaders to protect the bonds that make us one human family.

Medicaid isn't expensive because of the recipients, it is expensive because they make a vial of insulin for $2 and sell it to the government for $200. (The other programs are similar.) Those companies use those profits to fund the election of every politician. That's why there is no actual dialogue.

Pope Francis said, "Dogma is not The Word." Anyone who interprets the rules in a way counter to Christ's teachings is missing the point.

Your light has the best chance of reaching them simply by shining on them in passing. However, they must be ready for the light. If they are ready, no more effort will be needed. If they are not, no amount of effort will help.

Not all of it. That is a distraction, for sure. However, there is also widespread suffering that is very real. We must focus on helping the victims.

I don't think it's that they particularly care about cruelty. Unhappy people by more of the things that they sell. Peace and contentment are bad for business.

He had also appointed women to positions they've never held before within the church. So you can't even say he'd done nothing in that way. Accountability is important, but cynicism is rarely useful. www.npr.org/2021/02/08/9...

Pope Francis' Latest Moves To Empower Women In Roman Catholic Church
Pope Francis has appointed women to two Vatican posts previously held only by men. One of the appointments is to a high position in the bishop's synod, which helps decide Catholic rules.

If they go from 10 negative calls a day to 1000 negative calls a day, they do notice. They want to keep their jobs, whatever their politics. It might just make them 10% more cautious in ways you will never realize.
