From Rome’s Sapienza University, the pope told students the $864 billion rearmament Washington has pressed on NATO is a betrayal of diplomacy itself. The schools and hospitals it starves, he said, are the price of the elites’ profit.
I had never imagined this convergence of philosophies that stand united in opposition to the MAGA movement: if the Holy See, and Catholicism, represented by this wonderful man, the Enlightenment Protestants, and we secular humanists can align, and remain aligned, we could and can move mountains.
I am a Canadian fan of Pope Leo. He offers moral clarity and courage and no-nonsense speech when this world, especially the war mongers, most need to hear it!
Every time Pope Leo calls out the moral infidelities of those in charge I feel a surge of support that's been sorely lacking in our world. Thank you, Lord, for your blessing.
This will--and should--make many people uncomfortable. WAY past time to question our rhetoric that slips off the tongue too easily. He's definitely the right pope for the right time.
"The schools and hospitals it starves, he said, are the price of the elites’ profit.'
Schools in America are the richest on the planet by spending per pupil. I don't want Trumps largesse in military or AI surveillance, but our schools are hardly starving. Teachers in Illinois get nearly 6 figures in retirement.
It depends upon each state. Illinois is an expensive state to live in. Across the Mississippi is Iowa where our Republican legislators have cut funding for public schools to create more charter schools. Iowa taxpayers money goes towards tuition for the private schools so parents don’t have to pay tuition.
Xi asked the Trump gang, "can we work together to make the world a better place for everyone." Silence. They don't appear to have an answer. My answer is yes, carefully, honestly, with intelligence. We need to get this right otherwise all our treasure will be wasted on more and more armaments that do nothing for the wider well-being of the world. At the end of the warring period in Chinese history the philosopher Mozi promoted basic defence, virtue and diplomacy through fellowship, which is what we need now.
The Holy Spirit sent Pope Leo to us. I pray for him and priests daily. He know what needs to be said about the wrong priorities of our country and maybe others. He is very clear about the focus that is on billionaires instead of the poor and vulnerable. I hope obmver the years he can bring our country around.
