It's deja vu! Or maybe we've wandered into a time warp in the universe taking us back to the "enlightenment" of the French Revolution with its motto of "liberty, equality, fraternity." Francis certainly seems to glory in the language of that era. Really...he wrote an entire encyclical on it that Topsy and Tuptim discussed at length.
We hear plenty of demands these days for liberty and freedom, most of which involve being "liberated" from, not only the laws of God, but from nature itself. And now Francis tells us in a video message celebrating the "Day of Human Fraternity" that Fraternity is the "anchor of salvation for humanity." Not Jesus Christ, of course, but "fraternity." Let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
Our resolve is to walk side by side, “brothers and sisters all,” in order to be effective artisans of peace and justice."
It makes one's head spin.
