Catholic ping!
Amen to that! Really sums it up. The problem pre and post election is that too many Americans, including some who should know better, thought just about getting themselves some of this magic money and overlooked everything else, including where the money is coming from - our taxes. St Maximilian Kolbe had it right for his time and still so relevant for ours.
Darned RINO... (/s)
(Note the “/s” above, please!!)
Dirty Harry: you might want to ping your RINO list to this thread: show them what a RINO ISN’T!!!
I went on mission not too long ago and found there a reinforcement of what many who understand about freedom and liberty. Taking through government compulsion is not charity nor is it the predicate to a just and compassionate society. Demanding that the ‘rich’ give to the poor is not compassion but envy.
A wise priest said that the poor are here for our salvation. Government is not the answer to the salvation. He was so right, this missionary. We are called to charity for our salvation. The politics of charity is nothing more than an insult to authentic charity and to authentic freedom. A poor recollection but George Weigal said in effect that ‘sin is nothing more than our failure to live freedom excellently.’ Socialism is evil. Sin is our personal failure. Remember the difference. Pax Christi.
