S2 Ep1026: Michael Steele: Your Voice Matters

I had so many of my friends say to me, really? His last official visit. Are you serious? You know, I've been very reflective of this pope for a lot of reasons, because everyone really wanted to reduce his papacy to, you know, right versus left, conservative versus liberal. And yes, you could argue, oh, he was progressive on immigration.

Well, I don't know if my reading of the Bible and the words of Christ around immigration the Beatitudes or what the Lord gave Moses in the 10 commandments would be considered progressive. I think it's just kind of common sense. Loving your neighbor as yourself, that's progressive. And if that's progressive, what does it say about being a conservative?

That I don't love my neighbor, that I don't give a shit about the immigrant, that I don't care about what happens to my fellow man and woman. You just can't put him in that box. Because I think what the Pope was trying to do was say, look, at the core of everything that we do should be love. It should inform how we approach the world.

And the challenges we have are resolved if we see the humanity of our fellow traveler. It's been really a reflective moment for me. I was an Augustinian seminarian. Spent three years in a monastery, roughly.

Yeah, so I entered the Augustinian order, Order of St. Augustine, after I graduated from Hopkins. And that August, I went up to Villanova and joined the men there for my first year. While I was at Villanova, I taught at one of our high schools, Malvern Prep, and then went up to Massachusetts for my novitiate and spent time up there preparing for Simple Vowels. And that was the journey.

It is actually, Tim, informed how I served as lieutenant governor, informed how I served as RNC chairman in a very political position, that part of my Christian values should direct and help me navigate through some very sticky political stuff. And it did. I have a whole different view of how I look at people.
