The US needs to step up and stick up for Taiwan. Ridiculous.

And we all need to pray

We need to pray. Remembering that Jesus has already conquered. Prayers in Thanksgiving that God's Will will prevail in Asia. And the whole world.

Random thoughts on this gem:

Well here we are once again back in 1939 with almost 12 years of democrat rule in the USA behind us. Only this time without the moral and spiritual resources that we had then and without the much lower level of political and social corruption. After all, it sure became clear in the years that followed that FDR really did love America and the rest of the English speaking world as well. Not so much our political and 'thought' leaders today. Plus I don't believe there were any depraved expressions involving the phrase 'trans' that were in general use then (nor for many decades later) either.

-and-

Your write: "…Vatican diplomats 'have yet to be convinced that it would make any difference whatever' to speak out against Beijing’s action in the region." Allow me to assure you that it does (and has) mattered a great deal to many of us right here along with the unseemly debate around the Eucharist and the more repulsive of our politicians - not to even mention the issue at the bottom of everything else.

So step one was Afghanistan, Step two Taiwan and then Step three Washington? Or has Step three already been taken and we just did not notice?
