Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.
You don't need more time, you need fewer distractions.
You don't need motivation, you need self-control.
You don't need more resources, you need resourcefulness.
You don't need luck, you need preparation.
You don't need to be busy, you need to be focused.
You don't need to know everything, you just need to start.
You have everything you need.

You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

“Like Henderson, Murray is annoyed at elites who fail to preach the bourgeois lifestyle they practice. But instead of building on the shaky foundation of luxury beliefs, Murray straightforwardly blames elites for lack of noblesse oblige.”
I usually agree with Bryan, but I’m 90% on Henderson’s side on this.
Henderson ain’t talking about votes and voters so much as he is criticizing liberal elites with mass influence. In other words, politicians, media members, Substack writers, etc. I.e. his primary criticism is double that of what you cite for Murray above: that said elites not only lack noblesse oblige, but they actively preach what is in the exact opposite interest of those they are supposedly speaking for.
So criticize his marquee label if you like, Bryan, but not only should you *not* be bashing his critique of what leftist elites (which about 90% equals simply “elites”) preach to the masses, you should be joining and echoing his critique.
