If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself.

Politics is noble it is one of the highest forms of charity, as Paul VI used to say. We sully it when we mix it with business. The relationship between the Church and political power can also be corrupted if common good is not the only converging point.
