Yes! A lot of interesting titles from stellar publisher @orbisbooks.bsky.social in the pipeline now. As @robertellsberg.bsky.social says: "A World of Books that Matter." 👇8 that seems very intriguing (dets in alt text). @maryknoll.bsky.social @commonweal.bsky.social @csmonitor.bsky.social

My interview with Grace Ji-Sun Kim about her new book “Earthbound.” @orbisbooks.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/OmBRvug...

So enjoyed this conversation with Joyce Rupp about her new book, “Years of Ripening: Reflections on Aging for the Later Years.” @orbisbooks.bsky.social youtu.be/hxjMPtUiz7Q?...

Is it too much to say in this time, in America, that we are on a train bound for hell? If that seems extreme, can we at least ask the question: Where is this train headed? My latest reflection: "A Big Beautiful Train." sacredheartuniversity.typepad.com/go_rebuild_my_…

"My mission of being in the heart of the people is not just a part of my life or a badge I can take off. Instead, it is something I cannot uproot from my being without destroying my very self. I am a mission on this earth; that is the reason I am here in this world."--Pope Francis

There is every indication that Pope Leo XIV could follow Pope Francis’ embrace of liberation theology, a politically tinged movement that emerged in the 1970s and championed the liberation from social, political and economic oppression as a path to salvation.

Very honored to be named as one of three Authors of the Year by the Catholic Media Association. (For publishing 5 prize-winning books in the past five years. All published @orbisbooks.bsky.social

It was a privilege to interview a living saint, Maggy Barankitse, along with David Toole, the author of her biography, "Love Made Me an Inventor." @OrbisBooks Her internet connection was unstable. Just means you have to listen harder: youtu.be/qBlah0PzCpc?...

Can a Catholic be a Hindu? Jesuit Francis X. Clooney has sought to learn from both traditions with real devotion. www.commonwealmagazine.org/hovering-edge

Roger Haight, SJ died today. At @orbisbooks.bsky.social we published 9 of his books, beginning with his controversial "Jesus Symbol of God." Our final meeting was last year when I presented him with a copy of his final book, "FACING RACE." Appropriately, he died on Juneteenth. RIP.

10 years ago on June 17 2015, a young white supremacist, hoping to “ignite a race war,” opened fire at a prayer service at Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston SC, killing the pastor and eight other members of the African American congregation. My reflection in @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social

In 2023, FPF honored our dear friend by carrying the torch for two of the causes he championed most — reform of the U.S. government’s secrecy system and unconstitutional abuse of the Espionage Act — through the creation of the Daniel Ellsberg chair on government secrecy.

Today marks the second anniversary of the passing of legendary whistleblower, anti-war hero, and FPF co-founder Daniel Ellsberg. His courageous decision to leak the Pentagon Papers to the press in 1971 led to the most important Supreme Court case for press freedom in the century.

Fr Steve Bevans SVD has won the highest honor of the Catholic Theological Society of America: the John Courtney Murray Award. Very proud of our author @orbisbooks.bsky.social

'Dorothy Day: Spiritual Writings,' edited by @robertellsberg.bsky.social focuses on themes central to Day’s life and work—prayer, community, nonviolence, and the works of mercy—and offers a deeper understanding of the spiritual principles that drove her transformative work. @orbisbooks.bsky.social

The feast of the Visitation, celebrating the sisterhood of two women joined by faith in the God of the Impossible. My reflection in @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social

Lay theologian Rosemary Haughton died a year ago today, May 9. My reflection in @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social

“I want to see the church so far forward that my successor will not be able to turn back.”—Pope Leo XIII, the previous Leo. Apart from introducing modern Catholic Social Teaching One of his first steps was to make Newman a cardinal. My reflection in @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social

My reflection on Henry David Thoreau in @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social “How does it become a man to behave toward this American government today? I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.”

Makes sense if the cardinals opt to revive the era of Borgia popes.

Venerable Juana de la Cruz. My reflection in @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social To the nonbinary God of Love.

So happy to talk with my friend Kelly Brown Douglas about the publication of the 25th anniv edition of her book “Sexuality and the Black Christ,” and the whole trajectory of her writing career, which for us goes back over 30 years. @orbisbooks.bsky.social youtu.be/mGL39SwIIrY?...

May issue of @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social My “Blessed Among Us” include Thoreau, Rosemary Haughton, Walker Percy, Julian of Norwich, Emily Dickinson, Franz Jägerstätter, Jane Addams, and many more.

Perhaps even in death Pope Francis is working for peace.

My Publisher's Letter from @OrbisBooks, reflecting on the vision and agenda of Pope Francis, reflected in the more-than 20 vols of his writing we published. For the original with hyperlinks: orbisbooks.com/pages/our-be...

Pope Francis, in his focus on migrants and refugees as a defining theme of his papacy, found his opposite counterpart in Donald Trump. From the intro to Pope Francis, "A Stranger and You Welcomed Me." @orbisbooks.bsky.social www.ncronline.org/vatican/book...

For the last 12 years my faith and vocation were sustained by the witness of Pope Francis. At @OrbisBooks we worked to promote and amplify his voice. Over the years I regularly wrote him letters of support, with no expectation of hearing back, though twice I did. This was my last.

In a message of great love, sincerity and affection. Herod asked the disciples where he might find the risen Christ so he too could worship him.

A wonderful Easter meditation: My interview with Kathleen Deignan about her new book: THOMAS BERRY: A Book of Hours. @orbisbooks.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/2zxgn5q...

“You don’t have the cards.”

Last words from Judgment at Nuremberg: a convicted German jurist tells his American judge: “Those millions.. you must believe I never thought it would come to this.” The reply: “It came to this the first time you condemned a man to death you knew to be innocent.”

The art of the deal.
