I went to Mass at St. Patrick’s in Cleveland for St. Patrick’s Day where they read something from the writings of (Who else?): \u00a0St. Patrick. \u00a0 St. Patrick wrote that God scattered many from Ireland in his day because they weren’t listening to the messages of the priests. \u00a0 Afterwards, I confronted Cleveland Auxiliary Bishop Quinn (who said the Mass). \u00a0I said \u00a0that I believed many of his priests didn’t even have much of a credible ‘message’ these days, period. \u00a0 I said, for instance, that while 24,000 people starve to death in the world every day, many of the priests are looking the other way \u00a0when it comes to \u00a0comfortable, suburban American \u00a0lifestyles — \u00a0 [because \u00a0many of the priests \u00a0are living comfortable, suburban American lifestyles.] \u00a0 Note:<\/strong> \u00a0 This is just one of so<\/em> \u00a0 many vignettes where we have stood up for the poor (for the unborn, for the environment, for the immigrant, for children starving in Africa…) one on one, in the media, in speeches… \u00a0 \u00a0For the past 15 years, Liz, the kids and I have given up our normal lives, our careers, our comfort… and have absolutely poured<\/em> \u00a0 ourselves out into this campaign. \u00a0 That’s included some 200,000 miles of extensive cross country research and campaigning. \u00a0 \u00a0Like other campaigns, we need ongoing donations to keep on. \u00a0 If you can help: \u00a0 \u00a0 Schriner Presidential Election Committee, 2100 W. 38th St., Cleveland, Ohio 44113.<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
