That an American Cardinal from Chicago, but with deep international experience, Robert Prevost, took the name Leo XIV, the world may now see the consequences of his following Leo XIII who set the foundations of modern Catholic Social Teaching, and called the "father of social justice."

Pope Francis was known for the same things as Jesus was: his deepest love for the poor and vulnerable, his warmest welcome to migrants, his consistent visits with prisoners, his bold confrontations of the rich and powerful, his faithfulness in calling for an end to war and violence.

When a dictator is trying to taken over, you shouldn’t just endlessly worry about things you can’t control. Just stand and speak up where you can.

Authoritarianism is not only a political issue, it’s a theological one. The human capacity for evil is too great to allow individuals to have too much unchecked political power.
Christians believe human fallibility too great to allow unchecked power for our leaders
(RNS) — If the political realm will not stand up to the autocratic pretensions of the current president, it falls to people of faith to take nonviolent action.

If the dangerous and incompetent war time secrets debacle with Cabinet members--accidentally including a journalist--does not get the serious attention of Republicans, we must ask what will? Is this a final sign that a whole political party has been taken over by one man and his MAGA vision?
