Musk and Trump: DOGE, Power Grab, and the Fall of Democracy?
In contrast to J.D. Vance’s assertion that prioritizing national interests precedes global concern, Pope Francis refutes this “concentric” model of Christian love. The Pope emphasizes that human dignity is inherent and universal, not contingent on proximity or nationality. True Christian love, exemplified by the Good Samaritan parable, necessitates a global fraternity encompassing all, regardless of origin. This inclusive approach rejects the idea of a hierarchical order of love based on national boundaries.
