curious that pope leo didnt advocate for getting immigrants to convert
when did the church stop doing that. feels like a central mission
iirc my mom was still able to donate to charities dedicated to "converting the heathens" when she was a kid in the 50s
Changing your mind should be celebrated. People call each other out over past contradictory statements like it's a big gotcha or a sign of hypocrisy and fraud. Maybe sometimes, but much more often it's a sign of growth, humility, and willingness to learn and integrate new info.
Since I’ve been asked a lot:
Buy stock in several companies that make products & services that *you* believe in.
Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don’t panic when the market does.
This will serve you well in the long-term.
