Saint Mathew was called by Christ to follow Him from being a sinner as a tax collector and so he not just abandoned the practice but also he invited to his house all sorts of sinners in order for them too be able to share the word of Jesus Still tax collecting as it was then identified as a sin it so in function to the activity that requires confiscating form the people denying the virtue of love and their just participation in the common good. Give to Caesar what is of Caesar and to God what is of God. This does not imply an open opportunity for Caesar to deprive his people of the necessary resources to sustain individuals and family or to grow and multiply because still the most important commandment of the law of God, giving Him what is His, is to love Him over and above everything and anything, closely followed by loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. Hence it is not of Caesar to appropriate the virtue of love on behalf of the people.
Through these thoughts I intend to present my own personal view, opinions and appreciations of life in Canada and the world at the beginnings of this century/millenium.
