I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress,…
The poorest are not only objects of our compassion, but teachers of the Gospel. It is not a question of “bringing” God to them, but of encountering Him among them. Serving the poor is not a gesture to be made “from above,” but an encounter between equals, where Christ is revealed…
When Christians tie Christianity to a particular political figure and party, not only do they fuse the reputation of Christianity to everything that political movement does, they become more shaped by the ways of that political movement than they do by the ways of Jesus.
I grew up being told “the older you get, the more conservative you become.” I’m finding that the older I get, the more I just want our society to be more tolerant, charitable, kind, peaceable, and ensure that everyone has what they need to survive and thrive.
One cannot love God without extending one’s love to the poor. Love for our neighbor is tangible proof of the authenticity of our love for God. The Lord himself teaches us: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt…
Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.
A Christianity that causes the hungry to go without food, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be mistreated, and God’s creation to be ravaged, all while the greedy and cruel satisfy their every desire, is a Christianity that can no longer claim to follow Christ.
.@JamesTalarico: I don’t see politics as left versus right anymore. Billionaires are using their wealth to rig our political system. They own the media and they own politicians in both political parties. They’re using that wealth to divide us, and I think people are tired of…
It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause of all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.
The greatest enemy to the witness of the Church is not atheism but a version of Christian faith that “believes” in Jesus but doesn’t follow him.
A Christianity that believes it needs a president, legislation and a government to ensure its survival is a Christianity that is centered on the worship of its own power rather than faithfully relying on the power of God. God is just its mascot for its political ideology
The church was never called to be the morality police of the world. The church was called to be a servant, a peacemaker, a hospital for those wounded by evil, and the washers of feet.
The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.
We are tragically living in a time where our patriotism and even our Christianity is being measured by how ruthless and inhumane we can be rather than by how merciful and compassionate we can be.
When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs. You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, and the marginalized.
