I’ve seen that people will ignore evils in their party that they’re quick to point out in the other. The Church must be prophetic. We have no right, in God’s Kingdom, to be loyal to any party or politician. It’s idolatrous really. We end up surrendering our consciences, willing to justify injustice, even atrocity, as long as it’s the party we favor. That is disloyalty to Christ, the only Man who has a right to require it of us.Fr.
