Protest today against easy gun sales

It is the eve of St. Nicholas day, the first official Santa Claus, a day of childhood joy, and I am wondering:

Why is there so much gun violence on streets and yet a man was yelling at us while we today in front of a gun shop protesting the easy sale of guns?

Why do we not hear the cries of the people of Honduras when they are suffering the repression of the military overthrow of their electoral government four years ago with the aid of USA government and military training at School of Americas?

Why do the people of Palestine and Israel have to suffer and die when the majority of people seek peace and want to live together in peace as they had for thousands of years? Why do the politicians not allow them to live in peace?

Why does the Catholic Church and Jesuit religious order punish my 92 year old priest friend for saying a liturgy with women and yet show no equal concern for the poor and suffering in USA and world?

Why do people we visit in North Central Milwaukee go hungry and have no refrigerator or stove to prepare and cook food and often need to sleep on the floor while the Church stores 1.1 million dollars in funds it received from closing churches in the area.

Why the children at the family homeless shelter are so happy and full of joy and can play while their older brothers and sisters and parents feel the shame of being homeless?

Why does Marquette University, a Catholic Christian University teach war and reflexive killing, killing without conscience, on campus?

My wondering questions can go on and on and all I can hear is “the answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind, the answer is blowin in the wind.”

A mother taking care of her grandchildren of her son who died in a car accident said the best therapy and answers to ‘why’ she found was in prayer. Yes, the answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind.
