text: One of our two priests is South African. I'd agree, that he doesn't put great faith in government, but the parish itself is a "social system." Being 95% Black, and poor, the church is a dynamic hub of social programs. And not having faith in government doesn't mean not engaging with it, trying to hold it to account and working to help it do less harm and more good. He seems to be a very joyful and loving man, but he is quite fierce about these things.
