My sister and I were talking about this a couple of days ago.

I was telling her that our Irish Catholic roots were truly
Christian.

Our ancestors truly followed the teachings of Christ and were
so good to others, not racist in any way, and strongly engaged
in Democratic politics.

My grandmother's first cousin, Robert Lippert, taught at a
Catholic university in St Paul for 34 years until around 1989,
and he risked his life and his job as an activist for civil rights
and peace for vulnerable people.

My mother was the same way. She ran the St Vincent de Paul
Society at her church for many years. She didn't believe in
poor shaming. Anyone who came in for help got it immediately,
no questions asked.
