ANGUS: Bricks, Mortar, the Day of the Dead and Romance

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - November 02, 2025
EXCERPT: "“Nobody gets married on the Day of the Dead,” my mother said.
Well, we did.
Father Michael Czerny, a Jesuit social justice warrior (who is now the right-hand to Pope Leo), married us. He thought it was a perfect day. In giving us the marriage invocation, he called out, “God wants revolution.”
No doubt, he expected us to play our part. A revolution indeed. But what kind?
I wanted a revolution that takes down the powerful. But I didn’t want a revolution that left ordinary people behind. I was partial to the words of Dorothy Day:
Young people say, ‘What good can one person do? What is the sense of our small effort?’ They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time; we can be responsible only for the action of the present moment, but we can beg for an increase of love in our hearts that will vitalize and transform all our individual actions… The greatest challenge of the day is how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us. . . . ."
