Oooooo BURN! Good to see a little bit more frankness from Gallagher. I wonder how much of an effect the war in Ukraine has shifted the utility of that separation of the church as diplomat and church as prophetic witness? Seems like quite a few (especially European) leaders in that department have had a good kick in the pants about the limits of playing realpolitik at the expense of the Church’s embattled credibility as a witness to the gospel.

When my car is speeding out of control, my form of pulling the emergency break also consists in giving it a carefully modulated talking-to. Sometimes I say, "Car, in order to safeguard your structural integrity and the bodily health of all passengers inside, it seems necessary to clarify that you do not have the right to smash headlong into the wall ahead." Works every time.

The persecuted in China will one day stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ, so will the pope and his confreres. I don’t know the mind of God but I bet there will be great mercy and love given to the persecuted for Christ’s sake.
