Thank you Leandros,
I agree with you about the points you raised about purity of heart. I also agree that we should pray for our leaders. They are not perfect, and we should not expect them to be.
I also agree with what you said that if our Saints were ever judged by a secular psychologist they would probably be deemed 'unfit' or 'abnormal' as leaders.
This is obviously a sign of sick and imperfect society. Since 'secularity' is caused by the worldly societies we live in.
'Societas perfectas' as you know is equal to a Utopia (ie. Gk: OU =No TOPIA=Place). And talking about politics and perfect societies usually gets us no place.
Jesus once said: "You are of this world; I am not of this world." And elsewhere, while being questioned by Pilate: "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest."
I guess we have to rise above worldly thoughts and try to become more spiritual thus becoming part of God's Kingdom and not be attached to the worldly ones.
I hope you would agree that purity of heart is one thing, and cultivating our 'talents' is another.
I hope Arnie forgives me. Sorry Arnie.
Thank you once again Leandros.
God Bless
