So many things had to line up perfectly that you can’t attribute this term of the court to anything other than Divine Providence. Scalia dying during Obama’s term and McConnell taking the unprecedented step of holding the seat open for 9 months. The Kavanaugh debacle. RBG dying right before the election and then the GOP senate reversing course and pushing her through in record time. If any one of those things hadn’t happened, this term wouldn’t have been the same.
Nothing short of God’s grace is the explanation.
I recall a story a priest told EWTN not so long ago. He knew a brother in a monastic order in Italy. This was in the 70 or 80’s. After hearing that the priest was American he told him to pray for Donald Trump. The priest was surprised and asked “You mean the guy who owned casinos and is a playboy.” Yes, the brother said. He will do great things for the Kingdom of God.
I think you are spot on. His ways are higher than our ways. I am happy to be from a state that has put a stop to this unspeakable evil. I pray for more changed hearts.
