The developed world is not at all the desired utopia,
even as a way to overcome poverty, much less to overcome injustice.
Indeed, it is a sign of what should not be and of what should not be done.

We must turn this sinful history upside down, and out of poverty
we must build a civilization in which all can have life and dignity.

– Ignacio Ellacuria, SJ

    Thank God for their witness to that Reign which has broken in, and continues to break in.

    Thanks for the quote, Michael. Where is it at?
