ON FRATERNITY AND SOCIAL FRIENDSHIP
CHAPTER ONE
DARK CLOUDS OVER A CLOSED WORLD
GLOBALIZATION AND PROGRESS WITHOUT A SHARED ROADMAP
30. In today’s world, the sense of belonging to a single human family is fading, and the dream of working together for justice and peace seems an outdated utopia. What reigns instead is a cool, comfortable and globalized indifference, born of deep disillusionment concealed behind a deceptive illusion: thinking that we are all-powerful, while failing to realize that we are all in the same boat. This illusion, unmindful of the great fraternal values, leads to “a sort of cynicism. For that is the temptation we face if we go down the road of disenchantment and disappointment… Isolation and withdrawal into one’s own interests are never the way to restore hope and bring about renewal. Rather, it is closeness; it is the culture of encounter. Isolation, no; closeness, yes. Culture clash, no; culture of encounter, yes”.[28]
as a socialist-catholic in fear, my glory is believing “that death is the end of everything” and “‘seeing some photos of the destruction that has left families with nothing,'” i imprudently set foot decrying that “the sense of belonging to a single human family is fading,” “But Mr. Roosevelt’s (biden’s) a gonna save us all“…
as a comfortable-catholic in fear my glory is avoiding “all reputational risks”, therefore i imprudently set foot praying myself into a “cool, comfortable and globalized indifference,”…
summarily dismissed; and then another false narrative appears.

as a maga-catholic in fear, my glory was in winning the election; consequently i imprudently set foot “‘down the road of disenchantment and disappointment'” forgetting that the election “‘process helps with growing in self-abandonment, because (i) don’t have control'” believing that “even if an explanation is given,…it is always summarily dismissed; and then another false narrative appears“…
As a Catholic in LOVE my Glory is in the Lord Jesus Christ because I set foot in the house of the LORD prudently proclaiming, “‘Isolation, no; closeness, yes. Culture clash, no; culture of encounter, yes'”; because there have been tough times before in the United States when, “There was no household in the country that somehow was not involved” while opposing “repression and persecution, human rights abuses, humiliation, and dismissals and expulsions for dissenting views“!!!
