Friends, the first and second readings this Sunday beautifully show both sides of Catholic social teaching: the balance between recognizing political, economic, and social power, and criticizing the abuse of that power. We should not demonize our leaders; we pray for them, and we recognize their importance. But we should not divinize them either; we are deeply aware of the ways that their power can be corrupted.

What stands at the center of my economic concern? Affording healthcare, gas to get to work, and weighing whether or not I can afford the dental work I need or should I just have my teeth pulled. Is most of your audience the country-club class?
