Good morning all and Happy Columbus Day.

When did people’s souls become less important to religious leaders?

Two stories in today’s news—one about my state’s new Episcopalian bishop and the other about Pope Francis—impressed me because neither article had anything to do with bringing people closer to God. Instead, both were entirely concerned with issues near and dear to the leftist agenda: Racism and climate change. Perhaps both these faith leaders believe that their obligation to bring God to their parishioners goes without saying, but I thought His failure to be central to their thinking was telling.

The first story was about South Carolina’s new Episcopalian bishop, a woman named Ruth Woodliff-Stanley. . .
