Re-reading Francis’s encyclicals, and there are some true bangers. Fratelli tutti, man. “…true love for an oppressor means seeking ways to make him cease his oppression; it means stripping him of a power that he does not know how to use, and that diminishes his own humanity and that of others.”

I really don't think we can understand how much $$$ billionaires really have. But I can imagine how much better society would be if they shared their wealth! This article is a very good and important read! www.globalsistersreport.org/columns/soci...

I caught up with many of you & watched Die Hard to determine if it's a Christmas movie. My thoughts: Violence and deception are part of the Christmas story, but not the Incarnation. Love, Truth, and reconciliation have much to do with Christ. So, the argument that it's a Christmas movie is solid.

"When we are tempted to act with vengeance, resentment, cruelty, or selfishness, let us not consider the sad example of those who hate others. But let us raise our eyes toward the love that becomes the lamb, becomes food, becomes Passover, and becomes covenant." #SaintOscarRomero

A thing to keep in mind here: The pope weighs in on political stuff more often than you’d think, but to get this granular and ask a president to enact a specific policy is rare. But faith leaders and activists note Biden, a vocal Catholic, campaigned on abolishing the federal death penalty.

Today I learned that in the USA there's at least 2-3 million visually impaired people who need to use a white cane for mobility. And there's only 3300 certified mobility instructors in the whole country! Want to guess how long the wait list is for me to get white cane mobility training in Chicago?

Pope Francis on Dec. 8 made a special appeal for the lives of death row inmates in the United States to be spared. "Let us pray for their sentence to be commuted, changed," said the pope. "Let us think of these brothers and sisters of ours and ask the Lord to save them from death."
