Spurning Russia’s repression or China’s suppression What’s left to stop America’s digression The Church lost its hold Morality put on a blindfold Freedom without discipline produced violence internecine

I think the church "lost its hold" because it engaged in politics, which is a dark enterprise. A church should stick to helping with spiritual guidance and not allow the evil of politics in. Sad.

I think that the Church's teachings have to be relevant, without changing the texts or pandering to the mood of the moment. In other words, for today's questions, the Church has to provide approaches and answers that are steeped in the wisdom of the past. That ain't easy to do. :) gw

No one wins. I agree. Makes me want to stop watching the news entirely. Excellent use of verbiage to express the mess we are in. Outstanding Gershon. Blessings xxoo

I guess perhaps we all should put on the blindfold when the news comes on, at least sometimes. It's so repetitive -- for years and decades now. Thanks, Connie. Cheers, Gershon
