Just a few moments contemplating the awesome beauty and mystery of our little corner of the universe are sufficient to unmask the foolish arrogance of anyone suggesting that humans will eventually take control of things.
That ain't gonna happen! 😇

Trump posted the bizarre image below yesterday - the very day Catholics celebrated the The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Messaging doesn't get much more unsubtle than that!

"While Trump continues to pay ever-flimsier lip service to a narrow vision of what it means to be pro-life, I’m not surprised to see his actions consistently show the opposite," writes Ethan Meyers.

Trump Keeps Showing Us That He’s Not Pro-Life
Pro-lifers held up Donald Trump as their champion. He’s really a showcase for the movement’s greatest failures.

It would have been heartening to see language along the lines of that employed by Pope Pius XI in the recent USCCB statement on immigration.
Pastoral teaching regarding 'Catholics in name only' might be addressed, especially, to 'Catholic' members/associates/agents of the Trump regime.

John Lennox (Emeritus Prof. of Maths at Oxford; well known Christian apologist):
For Christians, physical death means expansion, opening new horizons, anticipation of encountering God, new beginning.
For non-believers, death means narrowing, shutting down, ending.

1961:
Writing in 'National Review', William F. Buckley (quoting Garry Wills) dismissed Pope John XXIII's encyclical 'Mater et magistra' with a sarcastic 'Mater sí, magistra no".
This was PRE-Vatican II, PRE-changes to liturgy, etc.
The agenda behind this kind of stuff was NEVER just theological!
