Fr. Jerry Pokorsky: The Hypocrisy of Modern Warfare

By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - Many years ago, after celebrating a funeral Mass, I spoke with an elderly man outside the church, separated from the crowd. He was of my dad’s generation, so I asked if he served in the war. He had. Which theatre? European. What Army? The Third Army. I asked him if his family knew about his exploits. No. Stunning. He was one of the drivers for General George Patton... In a couple of weeks, I received a copy of a photo he took outside a concentration camp with several officers, including Patton and Eisenhower.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post - A just future is a color-blind future. The evil of racism is that it pits ethnic groups against each other. A society with diverse racial groups cannot cohesively exist in unity if these ethnic differences are elevated as primary identity delimiters that are to be held above all else. A truly unified and just society would view racial differences as insignificantly as it views differences in eye color. It recognizes that people look different, but they are still people like everyone else.

80 Years After Auschwitz, Remembering The Evil Strengthens Our Resolve To Be Good, by Tim Goeglein

By Tim Goeglein, The Federalist - In his classic The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote: The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains … an unuprooted small corner of evil.
