Teleios evaluated various publicly available social, political and economic measures of the 20 countries with the highest average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) who were listed in the top 25% of the Economic Freedom Index versus the 20 with the GDP in the bottom 75%. Our analysis showed countries with the highest mean GDP also ranked in the top 25% of free countries, and demonstrated additional differences that might impact general wellbeing, including greater: human, economic and press freedom, more happiness and less corruption.

There are not a hundred people in America who hate
the Catholic Church. There are millions of people who hate
what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church
— which is, of course, quite a different thing. - Fulton J. Sheen
Lord, keep us strong. Keep us bold and filled with love for our
enemies and for all those who are troubled and in need of healing.
Never allow us to hide or to be concerned for our own safety, but
rather concerned only that your glorious and Holy Name
bring healing and grace, conviction for our sins, repentance, and
therefore mercy.
Help us, Lord, to stay faithful, courageous, and bold no matter the threats,
the hardships, the persecution, and even the ruthless attempts at suppression.
May no one who looks at us conclude anything less than
that we “have been with Jesus."
           -Dr. Mary Healy

Amen
