Last night, columnist Leonard Pitts, Jr. spoke at Flagler College. I asked him how Pope Francis might promote healing when he visits here in St. Augustine next year.
Mr. Pitts said he loves the pope and his talking about poverty and condemning bigotry.
Mr. Pitts replied Pope Francis could promote healing by talking about race and condemning renascent racism.
Mr. Pitts said that if Pope Francis did that, he'd "become a Catholic!"
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
