a left liberalism of fear, which views the basic units of political society as the weak and the powerful, which views cruelty as the summum malum, which is suspicious of every utopian venture: this is the way

Midwest Mulcahy @midwest-mulcahy.bsky.social · 1d

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal
