"What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular."

I don't know where that phrase comes from. We may have our differences in belief, but I think most people would agree that the sentence above is correct. I can only speak for myself: I am a Christian who sincerely thinks that all the doctrines and beliefs of the Catholic Church are true because God gave them. Because of this, I don't fit neatly into the political labels that are associated with "conservatives" or "liberals." No worldly leader or political party is going to save us; only God can. I believe that humanity is intrinsically good (despite when we do evil) and that God desires the well-being and salvation of all people, even those we disagree with and/or don't like. So, let us not hate no matter what ("That leads to the Dark Side") and have charitable thoughts towards everyone.

Thanks for referencing my favorite scene from The Last Jedi, which is also one of my favorite scenes from all of Star Wars.

Thanks Matt. I've always felt that the majority position was often not something I agreed with but would go along with. Now I feel more alone and less civil.
