Shot of the readings & βreflections for the weekβ in the church bulletin. Reflection #3 is the political one:
voLuke 13: 22-30
Who will be saved? This is the question posed to Jesus.
The answer is not easy. Nominal membership (I call myself a Catholic) and outward belonging (but I was baptized) will not suffice. For Jesus, the one criterion for gaining final entrance into God's Kingdom is doing the will of God. It is a narrow gate, accessed only by accepting our share of the cross and there is an urgency about doing that. All those who accept Jesus, and live accordingly, will find themselves inside, while those who fail to live the call will be locked out.
Reflections for the Week
1. In your life, what have been the narrow gates you have passed through?
2. When you hear the first and Gospel readings, do they challenge you to think of those you would shut out?
Who are they?
3. The 1st Reading sets the scene - no nation on the earth will be excluded from the Lord's holy mountain; all will be brothers and sisters. In these days, when stories abound about people being "rounded up" and "snatched" and businesses being raided, do you see immigrants and refugees in that light?
I have never seen something so explicitly political in my (Roman Catholic!) church bulletin

There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.
Oh wow.
Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trumpβs tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state.
Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

After Trump posted an AI generated image with him as pope the traditional Catholic MAGAts are suddenly very quiet.
Cowards.
Didn't you brag about being ready to be martyred for the Church?
Yet you don't have the courage to confront your mad king on social media.

"On Friday, the Conservative Party announced Conservative MP-elect Damien Kurek will resign to allow Poilievre to run in an upcoming byelection.
Kurek was first elected in the Alberta riding of Battle RiverβCrowfoot in 2019."
Sigh. No way to get rid of PP I guess. This is a super safe riding.
