Living in a time of evil is difficult, and we must avoid greater harm, such as politicians promoting immorality against life and family. The first step is to support a candidate who isn’t extreme in promoting anti-life views, then work to influence politics and society against abortion. There is hope, as seen with the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

If you like what we do and want to regularly support our mission to build the Reign of Mary and/or assist the episcopal ministry of Bishop Athanasius Schneider, please consider becoming a Servant of Mary.

Transcript:

Yes, it's really difficult in the times we are living in, with evil all around us. In this situation, we must take steps to avoid the greater evil, such as other politicians who are promoting real, horrible immorality against life and family.

We must prevent these parties or political influences from gaining power. Therefore, I think it could be possible, as a first step, to support or help a candidate who is not so extreme and not promoting anti-life policies. Then, we can work to create influence in politics, social life, and public life to oppose abortion completely.

There was the case where the Roe v. Wade decision was overturned in the United States by the highest court, and it shows that such steps are possible in the future. I hope so.
