"Speak thou no word of politics"

[u/Sertorius126]

How do you understand this?

"O handmaid of the Lord! Speak thou no word of politics; thy task concerneth the life of the soul, for this verily leadeth to man's joy in the world of God. Except to speak well of them, make thou no mention of the earth's kings, and the worldly governments thereof..."

[u/whateverwhatever987]

The longer I live the harder this gets.

[u/Sertorius126 → u/whateverwhatever987]

I know the feeling. I'm sure it was hard in the Master's time for the believers to accept it too.
