1. I go to a Jesuit church, and the homily this week

was about those who follow the gospels, as opposed to those who follow the catechism or make claims to abide by "the letter of the law". I definitely felt that the subtext was about the trial.

Pope Francis is fighting the good fight, and I think he's fighting it well. The very fact that he was elected pope keeps me hopeful.

As for the American bishops... they are awful. As Francis continues to sideline and marginalize the extremists, they will become less and less influential.

Both Bill Barr and Steve Bannon are followers of the extremist sect. I truly believe that their real goal was not to wield political power, but to end Roe v Wade and that they were willing to sell out their country to do it.
