re: "Pope’s Remarks on ‘Reactionary’ U.S. Catholics Rankle, and Resonate" (The New York Times, September 1, 2023)
Francis is rising in my esteem as he seeks to lead his church to some long overdue moral progress.
Those comfortably ensconced in old ways have never liked that sort of thing. The Biblical account tells us that is why the social conservatives of the time, the high priests of ancient Jerusalem intent on protecting their beloved traditions, used the law to kill Jesus, the upstart radical on the streets.
Law-and-order authoritarianism has a long history of opposing moral progress.
