May 23 Big Questions with Fr Tom Bonacci and Iraj Farzaneh

[@cydkriletich6538]

I am listening to this on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024. I thoroughly enjoyed Fr. Bonacci’s talk. I just wish I could believe the statement he just made about the majority of people believing in the rights of others. But the results of last week’s election here in the U.S. does not bear that out.
We now sit on the brink of a presidency led by a man who is without any recognizable virtue, and who is already choosing like-thinking people who will support him. How do we draw any love for humankind when this man is profoundly supported by people who swear they are not only Christian, but the only “true Christians,” many of whom actually believe this person was sent by God? I am like many others throughout not just the U.S., but the world who are frightened by the likelihood that many human rights gained by people over decades and centuries will be crushed in dark hands. I wanted to believe it was all a passing phase, but the election results point to the death of virtue at the very core of our government, supported by millions of those who say they are followers of Christ. God help us.
