“Whenever the general interest or any particular class suffers, or is threatened with harm, which can in no other way be met or prevented, the public authority must step in to deal with it.” — Leo XIII
It strikes me how Leo XIII insists that civic life must protect the vulnerable. Advocacy is not just politics. It’s faith in action. We dedicate these words to all LGBTIQ Catholics in countries where laws still criminalise them. May our faith drive us to stand beside those most in danger.
