Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

i was literally just writing this:

I'm gonna make a wish that something in this universe touches Trump's heart and Trump makes a turn-around and finally understands that ... this world doesn't need the fight; that this universe doesn't need the slashing; but it needs a humane leader that embraces Bishop Budde's message and that Trump finds his Scrooge on Christmas morning moment. That the universe can become on this tiny little chunk water and dirt better for everyone and not just the rich, the thoughtless, and the powerful. I'm going to hope that Trump sees that there is time left for Trump to turn it all around for everyone instead of just for him and his.

I'm gonna wish this: that Trump finds a little bluebird caged in his heart and Trump let's this little bluebird be free to sing and fly and give life a chance over tyranny.

I'm gonna wish this every day that I have left with Trump. It is how I am going to start every day of my resistance to this rise of fascism in the United States with this wish.

I feel like I need to come up with a quick prayer I can say to myself when I see this stuff.
