I have always lived my life as an optimist. Because of this, I have vivid fantasies of a better world for all of us.

I believe that one day, man will put down his arms and celebrate peace. That enemies will become friends. And that we won’t have a Pope that covers up for Pedophiles.

I believe that one day, humankind will come together as one to protect the Mother Earth. We will see the selfishness and arrogance of our ways and make our home a beautiful place. And that we won’t have a pedophile-protecting Pope.

I believe that one day, race will be meaningless. The tone of one’s skin will be of no interest to anyone, but rather they will be judged by the strength of their character. And that when Priests sexually abuse children, the Pope won’t worry about “The Church” first.

I believe that one day, there will be no poor and impoverished. Humankind will see that every man, woman and child have the right to dignity and health. And that when Catholic Churches abuse priests, the Pope won’t threaten the victims of sexual abuse with excommunication if they talk.

Yes, my friends, I believe in a brighter tomorrow. I believe we can all evolve to a place where selfishness and ignorance is replaced with selfless and intelligence. Where hate becomes love. And where the man who would be Pope doesn’t come to the defense of pedophiles.
