God’s Justice is as real as His Mercy. But to those who are quick to cast people into Hell, asserting God’s Justice, I ask “What measure of Justice would you hope to be judged by? What about your loved ones and friends?”
If God gives us all the Justice we deserve, we’re all going to hell. Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrifice on the cross!
Have a Catholic conversion story?
Soon, I’ll be opening up Always Toward the Light to feature stories of coming home to the Catholic Church—whether from another faith, no faith, or after years away.
If you’ve ever felt called to share how you found your way back to the light… stay tuned. The invitation is coming soon. 🙏
Let me know what you think! Share the opportunity with someone you know!
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

So glad to see my good friend on ’s podcast The Work of Thy Hands.
"Systems" are designed by people. People are imperfect. Therefore, any system designed by people will be imperfect. It then follows that something that is inherently imperfect, while useful, should never be imbued with unlimited power.
That is, IMO, the genius of the founding documents of the US. They realized government is essential, but the government will devolve to naked imposition of power if not constrained.
People on the right know that mankind will not/cannot be perfect, and prefer …
This was really nicely put, and I’m going to appropriate it to use in my own arguments, hope you don’t mind. I’m on the left, and I’m definitely not alone in agreeing with this sentiment - wish you wouldn’t paint us all with the same broad brush. There are many of us who do not align with the illiberalism of the activist far left. (If that’s the right term - I’m not sure how to label anything anymore, including myself!) _____________________
"Systems" are designed by people. People are imperfect…
I am what would be described as an almost classic liberal; I call myself a JFK Democrat. I differentiate between liberals, which you seem to be, and leftists that seem to dominate the Democrat party these days. "The left" in the US these days is decidedly illiberal, and probably fascist, IMO.
You think the typical Democrat is a fascist? Nancy Pelosi? Joe Biden? Barack Obama? What on Earth is your definition of a fascist?
Over the last five years, the definition of "fascist" has become quite broad and was applied to pretty much anything with which the left disagreed - even asking uncomfortable questions is now considered fascist by the left. Disagreeing with the left is now considered fascist by the left. So I'm just running with that.
How absurd. You are speaking nonsense. I gather you're a fan of Dennis Prager, who also speaks a lot of nonsense.
What I have stated is proven fact. Call it absurd if you wish, as that is the avenue leftists use to impose their form of intolerance and tyranny.
No. That is your silly opinion. Apparently you don't know the difference. You share that fault with Prager. He regularly believes his opinions are facts.
Hypothetical - the left takes control of the US and puts you in charge. Do you let Prager University continue or do you shut it down?
Are you under the illusion (lie) that Google and youtube are "censoring" Prager U?
I'm a liberal democrat. I believe in the Bill of Rights and in democracy. Of course I wouldn't shut it down. Have you heard any Democrats calling for Prager U to be shut down. I trust the American people to see through his right wing propaganda.
And I trust the American people to see through this epidemic of left wing propaganda.
By the way, Google/YouTube have censored Prager U videos: not all, but some. That is still censorship. But it's all in the service of a greater good, right?
