Letter: A David steps forward to face Goliath tyrant

Published 1:30 am Thursday, April 23, 2026

“I’m not afraid of the Trump administration,” shared Pope Leo with the world a few days ago.

You don’t have to be Catholic, Protestant, Christian or a churchgoer to recognize a David; and there he was right when we needed him. Our finest and best, and from Chicago (again).

With five smooth stones and faith, Leo stepped forward … “In a world being ravaged by a hhandful of tyrants … Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

I just love when Goliath falls. Don’t you?

Watch.
