9. Capitol Chaos

Written By Pete Range

Episode Description

In this episode Peter will address the general mayhem of the Capitol Hill Protests that occured on Jan 6th, the tragedy resulting from the chaos, as well as the president’s words and our responsibility as concerned citizens to live lives that uphold the dignity of each individual.

This has truly been a sad week in our country’s history. Words matter and have the power to provoke action. We must never underestimate the impact of our own words nor the words of our leaders. But this does not excuse the violent actions that took place on Wednesday. We grieve for the loss of life but recognize that this does not define our nation. It does not define those on the Right or on the Left. We are more than the dark parts of our nature and it is time for Catholics and Conservatives to set the example for upholding peace, justice, and liberty for all.
