Our faith is not democrat, liberal, progressive, republican, conservative. Our faith is Catholic, it's universal, it's following Jesus. Jesus was not a social worker, he was a miracle worker who loved everyone, rich and poor, male and female, he loved all. He didn't say, "Blessed are those who are called bleeding hearts, for they shall inherit the kingdom of God"' or "Blessed are those who want to punch you in the face for they shall cry tears of joy". No, he said we need to be humble. Humility is not choosing sides of liberal or conservative. Periodicals such as NCR has made people to think that our Church is a political system, but it's not. Our Church is love and this is God's love. He is merciful, but woe to those who continue to sin and encourage the sin of others. That is not conservative thinking, that is what Jesus told us. Follow Jesus, not democrats or republicans, because Jesus was neither.
