Homilies about government

When Political Issues Become Moral: A Priest's Stance on Injustice

Father Edward Smith

The homily challenges the congregation to view current events, particularly the killing of immigrants by ICE and political dishonesty, not merely as political issues but as moral ones. The priest argues that actions like murder and lying have inherent moral implications that transcend political debate, emphasizing personal responsibility and the need for truth and justice in society. He expresses his personal frustration with government actions and his refusal to support them with his tax money, instead preferring to donate to charities.
