text: There is an awful lot of political posturing here, but unless I am mistaken, this is still a Catholic website, so where does the Gospel come into all of this? For the pro-life crowd, lives (all lives) matter, even after birth.   As Christians, we have obligations beyond political ideolgies.  Unregulated Capitalism does not mesh very well with God’s law (you have heard of God and the Gospels, haven’t you?). Teddy Roosevelt understood this when he busted the trusts.  FDR understood it when he took on moneyed interests and ameliorated suffering in the 1930’s. Of course, he was labeled a ‘traitor to his class’ for his troubles, and if that isn’t an indictment of privilege, I don’t know what is. LBJ understood it when he took on Civil Rights issues.  Richard Nixon understood it when he created the EPA.  Where are the Bishops?  Wringing their hands and waiting for their large donors to tell them what to say.  Perhaps those unloved millenials will be the ones to save the Republic after all.
