@frgrantciccone: One of the all time great Pope Francis moments: "If you do not love your country, I do not believe that you will be able to love Jesus and love God." The people cheering give me chills. "Love for one’s country is love for a mother, we call her “Mother Land”, because we are born here, and she teaches us, as every mother does, to walk, and she is entrusted to us so that she may survive for future generations. This is why I wanted to begin with this reference to the Mother, to our motherland. If you are not patriots – not isolationist patriots – real patriots, you are not going to achieve anything in life. May you love your land, young men and women."
