Hi, you guys. I think there is corruption on both sides, too, but I think objectively speaking Hillary Clinton and the Democratic platform, especially pro abortion and attack on the true nature of marriage (man and woman), is a greater evil for our country, since these positions go directly contrary to the very foundation of our country - and every country - which is marriage and family. The family is the first unit of society, so undermining and attacking marriage, children and family will actually destroy the State - and country. Therefore, I think we need to respect those who follow their conscience to vote in such a way as to try to prevent Hillary Clinton from being elected.
At the same time, I think we all have to see the real reason for the crisis in our country. In Sacred Scripture, we read that God allows a country to be governed by the rulers the people deserve. And in our country, unfortunately the majority of people have abandoned God, Christian morality and obedience to the Ten Commandments in their personal lives. If we want good rulers, we need to do our part to live a good, holy life and try to lead others to do the same, at least by our good example. Once the people in our country return to God and the observance of His Commandments, then I think Our Lord will raise up good candidates to rule our country (i.e., presidents, governors, senators, mayors, etc.).
Well, these are just a few of my thoughts. I hope everyone can still remain close and friendly in our family - in spite of the present crazy situation in our country. Let's all try to be good, just and virtuous (e.g., charity, kindness, mercy, honesty, etc.) in our personal lives. By giving this good example, I think we will be doing our part to bear witness to Christ and the truth, and will perhaps help sinners to return to God and save their souls.
Love you all. Please be assured of my thought and prayers,
In Jesus and Mary,
Fr.
