Well, I finally understood where you were going with that. Yep, if our government had the prudence and good jedgment that our Founding Fathers had, we would not be in the mess we are in today with Obortion Obama as president.
Plus — I think of the military and almost cry over what is happening there. God help us.
It seems since the election that even you Roman Catholics have become absorbed by secular politics in religious or theological discussions. Half of my family is Roman Catholic; the older generation quite good Catholics too. They are, however, consumed with a desire to see to it that a Roman Catholic “voice” be heard in the “public square” and they have succeeded to an extent. In the meantime, they didn’t notice that their children and now grandchildren fell away from The Church. Worrying about transitory things can be soul destroying. Nothing transitory belongs to us, S.
“Worldly thoughts and the cares of life have the same effect on the understanding as a veil draped over the eyes, for the understanding is the eye of the soul. So long as we leave them there, we cannot see. But when they fall away as we remember that we are to die, then we shall clearly see the true light which illumines every man as it comes into the world from on high.” +Symeon the New Theologian
