An ex-priest and bishop

Former bishop wins Paraguay presidency

I'm not sure how I feel about a priest resigning from the priesthood to run for political office but Paraguay isn't my country and South America isn't Canada and the people there need different things than we do. If he really is the bishop for the poor then I say God bless him and his work. While the poor 'will be with us always' that doesn't remove our requirement to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, etc. Sometimes that translates into political necessity.

God bless him and keep him safe...
