I have, since November of 2024, said this several different ways. So I’ll offer it yet again.

While I no longer am a member, and no longer adhere to this church’s covenants — I do believe he tried to be a deeply moral man. A flawed (like us all), but moral, decent man. He did far more good than harm in his time.

So — it is again, a time (more than any time in the last 75 years)… for choosing. Let those who still follow all this church’s teachings choose… wisely.

I will hold a good thought, that the Cardinals do choose wisely — appropriately, for the times in which we find ourselves.

A forceful but kind man — one ready to actively speak and live Christ’s social gospel is what this age requires. A man with the courage of John XXIII, who will tell Trump and Putin that his followers… are not theirs.

A man (like the last three Popes) — who will say (and act) on the phrase that “no human is… illegal“. Onward.

Travel well; travel light.
