These are the reflections of a Secular Franciscan. I look not only at my own spiritual journey, but also at issues of life, economic and social justice, morality, the arts, and more through the lens of Franciscan Spirituality.

In Praise of Pro-Life Donegal
Although it is not certain my people trace their roots to County Donegal, Ancestry says based on my DNA results there's a good chance that they do.

In reading about Donegal in Wikipedia, I learned that the people have a reputation for "conservative and contrarian." Yeah, that sounds like people with whom I might be connected. If you tell me to do something my instinct is to consider not doing it, or at least to raise objections.
And then I hit this line: "In 2018, Donegal was the only county in Ireland to vote against repealing the 8th Amendment, which banned access to abortion."
They voted pro-life! Bingo!
Pax et bonum
