I thought this was an interesting article. It’s about German-born Archbishop Paul Cordes interview with Vatican radio. What can we learn from his remarks?
*“Many were struck by … poverty, at times shameful, in rich America,” Cordes told Vatican Radio.
“I do not want to hide my personal fear – that the superpower isolates itself and remains isolated even in dealing with the disaster,” Cordes said. “In this dramatic emergency, the United States must not be abandoned.”*

“The weakness experienced by the United States faced with this catastrophe” serves to “destroy all of our beliefs about self-sufficiency,” the Vatican official said. “Thus, for me, in the bad part of this event there is also the hope, for many citizens, of seeing that the world is greater than the United States,” Cordes said.
