This appeared earlier today also in a story on WDSU. The story was removed. However, we would like to share our response with those who may read this blog.

The Pope speaks well and all should listen. However, he, his cardinals, his bishops, his priests, his deacons must not simply talk the talk but also walk the walk. Too often they fail to carry out the very words they speak. The Church is for all and in that Church there must be equal treatment for all humans not preference to only some. Jesus, himself, reached out to all, rich and poor, sinless and sinful, people of all faiths, and people of all nations. This is the challenge to the Church once again today. May it and faithful of all faiths combine to achieve this goal.

TO ONE AND ALL A HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR. Today, this city, this parish, and surrounding parishes, this state, and this nation are faced with difficulties that call for leadership. That leadership is lacking. We must all face our obligations as citizens and choose leaders of quality and ability and not ones of promises and certain ancestries. We must examine closely their past, including their associations, etc. We must remember the reason why this nation was founded and the words of our founding fathers as found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This is the basis of my beliefs and those of many others. We have consistently called ourselves our the years - the Velvet Glove Brigade and we will try to post on this site as well as the public sites of New Orleans and Louisiana. Make your voice hear. Make the demands as citizens to the rights that all are entitled to. God Bless the USA.
