Fr. Anthony explores how disordered desires and motivated reasoning can make us resist healing, turn political convictions into obsessions, and even separate religious knowledge from its source in Christ. He calls us to slow down, receive God\u2019s mercy, and learn to see our neighbors clearly as people made in God\u2019s image.  From Fr. Anthony: this homily was a bit of a mess, and I lost my train of thought halfway through.  I wasn't going to publish it, but then it hit me that this wouldn't be so different from curating an image on social media (which is not healthy).  The irony is that I had written out a pretty servicable homily (two of them!) but decided to wing it.  As a friend in rural Georgia used to say; "some days it starts out duck and ends up chicken - some days it starts out chicken and ends up duck."
