A woman at the parish: "There are not many priests who are willing to speak about social justice and about the poor anymore. I often think of leaving the Church, but then there are a few priests who remain firm in 'the school of the poor' and give me a reason to stay."

The Trump administration would do well to listen to the late Pope Francis, who wrote in "Fratelli tutti" (2020) that "each country also belongs to the foreigner, inasmuch as a territory’s goods must not be denied to a needy person coming from elsewhere" (para. 124).

If Jesus had a message to the USA, it might be, "Repent and believe in the Gospel of the Reign of God."

Let us put our trust not in riches, honor, and pride but in Jesus Christ who comes to bring good news to the poor, liberation to the oppressed, and freedom to captives. 2/2

The USA has played a liberating role in history in a few ways, but, to many throughout the world, the USA is synonymous with imperialism, colonization, racism, capitalist exploitation, weapons production, pollution, waste, nationalism, and stupidity--among others. 1/2

Education can enslave. Education can liberate. We must ask, "For what are we being educated?"

Education doesn't free people from poverty. Equalizing the relations of production, advancing the means of production & producing basic necessities frees people from poverty. Education only liberates to the extent it contributes to such equalization, advancement & production.

Heidegger asks, "Why is there being rather than nothing?"

Would that God raise up for our time prophets like St. John the Baptist who tell soldiers to stop oppressing, the rich to share their wealth, and religious leaders to abandon their shallow hypocrisy. And John did so not to draw attention to himself but to God and God's justice!
