It was a tough time to be Pope, or any honest sort of spiritual or religious leader, when compassion and integrity itself is under attack by the same far-right forces and ignorance that is attacking our planet.
Noel, you really touched my heart. Maybe you’re needed in ministry. I’m not Catholic but I admired Pope Francis immensely. I think your words are truth. I know that I am at peace over my life. I know how loving I have been to others. It brings me a lot of joy. I’m now hear near perfect. I have very unloving thoughts about Trump.
Anyway, thanks for talking about love. Love wins. Always.
Always grateful for your insights and inspiration. I just listened to episode 126. I agree with all you say and appreciate your candor. I subscribe to many podcasts, but pick and choose because many repeat similar sentiments without new, succinct insights. Your savvy parables paired with encouragement keep me hopeful and motivated to do better.
The vilification of USAID and its recipients, deriding them as whining, calculating beggars and stripping them of all dignity, is calculated to dull any feelings of compunction in the hearts of MAGA should they happen across photos of starved children.
There's a reason why "Trump 2028" hats are out before the first 100 days is even over: Hitler said that if you say something frequently enuf, people start to believe it. (People quote Goebbels as saying this about "the big lie"; but he obviously read it in "Mein Kampf.") EMILY's List stands for "Early money is like yeast," & Donald is priming us in the same way to accept the idea that he can run again. Never mind that it was the Republicans who were responsible for presidential term limits because of FDR.
That is a beautiful summation of all that faces Americans. Thank you for reminding us: we must choose love. Anything else is self-defeating and full of death.
