Open Letter to the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
The Catholic League’s divisive billboard dismisses the Winter Solstice as “a child’s game” and mocks atheists, claiming exclusive rights to the season. In my open letter, I challenge this rhetoric, highlighting how altruism, empathy, and cooperation—natural to human evolution—are the true values that bind us during the winter months. The season belongs to all humanity, reflecting our shared capacity for connection and care, not exclusion or hostility.
