Remember…
It is God who works in you both the desire and the practice of his good pleasure… Remain faultless and pure, unspoilt children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine out like stars in the world.”
– Ph 2:13-15 (RNJB)
So, what should be the posture of Christian-Catholics and other faith-based communities today and going forward? Whichever presidential candidate is elected, our role will have to be, as it is often already, that of resistance. As a stark warning, we remember the largely craven non-responses of the Christian churches as Nazis took power in the last century. The failure of those denominations was a historical failure, a monumental scandal and it led to enormous tragedy.
