Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."

To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
