What I'd really like to know, and no one will ask, is how your thinking has changed as you bring it into alignment with Catholic doctrine since you [vance] have been instructed by the previous pope and the current one that you are =wrong= regarding Ordo Amoris.

Antisocial behavior
Narcissism
Superficial charm
Impulsivity
Callous, unemotional traits
Lack of guilt
Lack of empathy
Lack of fear

No one will believe this, but:

When I was a kid, the top income tax bracket was MORE THAN 90%.

Corporate tax rate was 450% of what it is now.

That was under Dwight Eisenhower.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, β€œOne Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.
