All true and there are no coincidences. Today, on the Catholic Liturgical Calendar, two Saints are honored; one Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria, priest who double-downed against the Reformation in the 1500's and made the Catholic Church ever more restrictive and controlling. The other; Saint Elizabeth of Portugal (c. 1200) who, while married to a King, negotiated several peace treaties and during a famine, fed the poor, paid dowries for poor women, set up hospitals for the poor.... She served and was a beautiful example of a leader who served her people. I would put DeSantis in the Zaccaria camp and Elizabeth with the press protectors. Portugal has a history of peace-making and kindness that goes back 100's of years. DeSantis is dangerous; just like a pedophile Catholic priest. DeSantis will do anything to protect and perpetuate his sick predilections; remember what he did at Guantanamo.
