Pope Francis’ Legacy and my Prayers for the Catholic Church
Pope Francis died at the age of 88 in the early morning of April 21, 2025 (Easter Monday) after suffering a stroke. He was the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, serving for twelve years (2013 – 2025).
He made his final public appearance on Easter Sunday, waving to the crowds at Vatican City from the “pope mobile.” His last known outside visitor was U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who converted to Catholicism in his early 30’s.
Here are my thoughts on Pope Francis’ legacy and how I’m praying for the Roman Catholic Church.
The Truth About Tariffs and Economic Revival
I have an earned doctorate, but it’s not in high finance economics. That realm has always been somewhat of a mystery to me just like quantum physics.
The USA and the world is about to get an economic lesson from President Trump and some smart business people in the current administration. Their bold moves may save us from the economic disaster I’ve been predicting for forty-five years. A centerpiece of their strategy:
Tariffs.
Here are my thoughts on tariffs and economic revival.
Turning the World Right Side Up
The shock and awe changes the Trump administration is bringing to the USA/world is nothing less than breathtaking. Donald Trump has accomplished more in a month than most presidents accomplish in four-to-eight years.
I’ve never seen anything like it in 54 years as a voter.
The American people are behind him 50-55% in most polls (much higher than he polled in term one) and Rasmussen Reports that their Presidential Approval Roundup shows a majority of Americans believe the country is now on the “right track” for the first time in two decades.
President Trump believes he has been spared by God to renew the American nation.
That belief is turning the world right side up.
