It's unfortunate that it didn't receive the attention it deserved, but the Catholic Church announced this week that it had opened a homeless shelter in the Vatican. While the number of homeless folks it will service is small, the impact it has is huge. And it proves that when Pope Francis said, "How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?" that it was not only a statement about our priorities, but a mission to change them.
And it's nice to once in a while have something good to report about this crazy world of ours, and not just bitch, bitch, bitch about it.
Peace,
