Theological dispute

 This bog does not usually go  inoto politics, but it is interesting to discuss the JD VAnce and pope Leo dispute. Apparently the pope argues that "Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others" whihc may be true but historically it was not the attitude of the catholic church. 

JDVance argued that religion tells him to prioritized family,  neighbors and citizens over immigrants. Seemed to me that Lenin also asked to prioritize one's party above all...

David Brooks

 He used a moderate voice to explain and reflect. I used to enjoy his columns, as long as I read the NYT. Probably he realized NYT remains popular  just for its games. Just by chance I ran into his last  column. David Brooks, you could have written  a better adieu.  Are you moving left? Right? or you just want streaming glory?
