Today at morning mass, we acknowledged that it was St. George’s Day, who like other martyrs, gave up his life because he would not renounce his Christianity. The deacon said, he was not perfect, except for his effort and his love for God.
I recognize that we have someone in Ted Cruz who is a brave and capable soldier for the US and the conservative principals we hold dear. I pray that he has the Holy Spirit guiding him. And although not voting against Lynch (I understand he sounded the alarm during cloture and before the vote) and going to a fund raiser sponsored by the homosexual community sounds cacophonous to my ear, I will trust he sees beyond my little discomforts, to the war that must be won.
Jesus dined with tax collectors, because that is where his teachings were needed. Perhaps, Cruz was doing the same. The traditional definition of marriage has been embraced by the voters in each state that brought it to ballot, only to have it overturned. Cruz is trying to preserve the rights and sovereignty of the states. And with the money from conservative gays, he brings this issue to the national stage.
Ironic or poetic justice?
Thank-you for asking. How are you on these parallel events?
We agree. As to Lynch vote, however, the fundraiser Sen. Cruz attended was with Texan businessmen, not the one involving the homosexual community.
As you say, he did the right thing in going to raise the money, which will enable him to fight for our causes; rather than stay in DC and file a futile, meaningless vote.
