It’s a bit late to be worrying about the polar ice caps melting when the ground under our feet was lost years ago.  A nation that moves away from God cannot hold together. We have already fallen apart. 

We can stack up the hours, days and years of our lives that we spend talking about the environment, the criminal justice system, trans rights, racism, sex, female emancipation, education and any number of “issues”, but as Pope Benedict XVI said, “the things of God fade into unreality, into a secondary world that nobody really needs.  God is the issue.  Is he real?  Is he reality itself?  Is he good or do we have to invent the good ourselves? The God question is the fundamental question”.
