Peace Pilgrimage in Harrisburg was attended by our friends in the Pax Christi Harrisburg chapter @paxchristiusa.bsky.social @paxchristimdcb.org #Nonviolence, #Peace, #Pennsylvania, #Harrisburg www.pennlive.com/news/2026/02...

On February 17, we take action. This isn’t just another protest — it’s a day to show our representatives that we’re watching, organizing, and ready to hold them accountable. Find your local action and get involved at citizensimpeachment.com/feb17. #Feb17 #CitizensImpeachment #DirectAction

Before Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti… ICE killed a father after he dropped his kids off at school. We didn’t hear much about it because he was undocumented. They said he was trying to flee & shot him in the back of the neck. Silverio Villegas-González. Don’t forget him.

Reminder: local clergy have been really, really active in pushback to DHS in Minneapolis. Like, roughly 100 faith leaders getting arrested at once last month while protesting DHS kind of active. Not sure how Feucht is gonna play there. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

Religion in the U.S.

The archbishop of Santa Fe takes on Speaker Mike Johnson theologically corrupt justification of Trump's secret police tactics against immigrants: " it is deeply concerning when theological language and sacred texts are used to diminish the fundamental dignity of human beings created in the image of

"It is our conviction that a person's willingness to accept the Negro as fully equal to the white both as a citizen and as a Christian is the acid test of his Americanism and his Christianity." — Father Louis J. Twomey, SJ, February 1959

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the Archdiocese for the U.S. military services, says Trump’s threat to seize Greenland by force “tarnishes the image of the United States”; troops can refuse “immoral” orders. The former USCCB president is seen as a church conservative (Gift link) wapo.st/45kMRJz

Prayer vigil for immigrants at ICE HQ tomorrow morning, Jan 15th, MLK's birthday. From 8:30 to 9:00 AM. ICE HQ is not far from the National Mall. See details below: mailchi.mp/paxchristimd...

As I have said from the start of the Abrego Garcia case, Trump, Bondi and their cronies love to spew stuff on social media — but they need to put up or shut up in court. As you can see below, when they are under penalty of perjury, the courts find their claims “fanciful”⬇️

It’s been obvious from the start that Hegseth compromised sensitive information in that Signal chat. Now we know he was sharing CLASSIFIED material — and lied through his teeth about it. He put American soldiers at risk. He should be fired.

Great exhibit at the Smithsonian African Art Museum on the Nigerian artist Bruce Onobrakpeya and a series of prints he made from the 1960s depicting Christian iconography. Here is the risen Christ appearing before the disciples.

Noah Bullock, Executive Director of Cristosal, an international human rights group based in El Salvador, talks about the abuses endured by CECOT inmates - lights on 24/7, lack of food, hygiene facilities, and medical care. Regular beatings, no access to lawyers or family. They're in black holes.

The distance between what is in happening Gaza, fully backed with US dollars and political support, and the reaction of American politicians who by and large just don’t seem to care or support it is just completely brain-breaking. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/w...

Muito interessante - e esperançosa - esta reportagem de @heidischlumpf.bsky.social sobre o Dorothea Project, um grupo de mães católicas dos EUA que se uniram para protestar contra a política de imigração de Trump, entendendo que Jesus mesmo era um refugiado www.ncronline.org/news/catholi...

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

July 24 Scripture Mount Sinai became ground zero of God's encounter with the people (Ex 19:1-20), marked by the Covenant, the Commandments, and an awesome presence. But the Eucharist far supersedes this encounter. Christ is forever present at every Eucharist, the Tabernacle, the hungry and thirsty.

BREAKING: JOINT STATEMENT FROM REUTERS, BBC NEWS, ASSOCIATED PRESS & AFP. Warning that their staff face death by starvation in Gaza. Horrifying and unprecedented.

⏰ Friday 25 July, 6PM 📍 Downing Street, London and towns and cities across Britain Quakers are supporting this demonstration. We are horrified by the deliberate starvation of the Palestinians in Gaza and call for aid to be allowed in now.

"The kind of ecological sin the Trump administration is perpetuating is not only that of omission, the willful failure to do something that is right and just, but it is also a form of commission or active harm." #EcologicalSin #PrayForAmerica www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

Exclusive: ICE has directed personnel to increase the number of immigrants they shackle with GPS-enabled ankle monitors, as the Trump administration widens surveillance of people it is targeting for deportation.

In Gaza, finding food, which was already scarce, has become a deadly endeavor. Our reporter explains why. Listen to "The Daily."

Gaza faces a severe humanitarian crisis as Israeli restrictions on aid lead to widespread malnutrition and starvation, with hospitals overwhelmed by malnourished children.

Pax Christi USA has joined more than 100 international humanitarian aid organizations on a sign on statement condemning Israel's deliberate starvation of Gazans, and calling for an immediate ceasefire and open land crossings to ensure access to everyone in Gaza. #stoparmingIsrael #ceasefirenow

bret stephens: there's no genocide in gaza israelis in the streets of tlv: yes there fucking is

What is left to say? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you are an Israeli supporter still claiming there is no famine please be aware you are out of the loop. Both Haviv Rettig Gur & Amit Segal are both sounding the alarm

Hamas says it has given a ‘positive’ response to the latest ceasefire proposal in Gaza

@paxchristimdcb.org What: Weekly Nonviolent Vigil for those persecuted by ICE Where: Milwaukee ICE Office, 310 E Knapp St., Milwaukee, WI When: Fridays 9-10 am Why: Our fellow human beings are being persecuted #justiceforimmigrants #EyesOnIce

@usccbofficial.bsky.social Might other bishops join Bishop-designate Pham is standing up for the least among us and demonstrate what "love your neighbor" means?

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

🕊️ Happening now: Join us live from the US Capitol for the Pentecost Witness for a Moral Budget. Faith leaders+community members are lifting their voices to defend programs that serve people who are poor, sick, and hungry. 📺 Watch the livestream: vimeo.com/event/5189017 #MoralBudget #PentecostWitness

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

There’s a sizable protest of what appears to be entirely faith leaders and clearly outside the Capitol right now, with the demonstrators speaking out against the GOP-led budget. It’s a Pentecost gathering “for a moral budget.” Lawmakers are also expected to appear.

Abp Wester is a quiet leader at the Conference but he is a leader. We need this. We need more of this. Bravo. www.americamagazine.org/politics-soc...

If the US actually legislated according to Jesus' command to love your neighbor and followed his example, the world would be a better place. The needs of the poor would be prioritized; pandemic-era government funding shows this boosts an economy as does investing in infrastructure. How to pay?...

Love this with my whole heart

Sunday Homily - "A Shepherd like the "Good Shepherd" Today, I hope to reflect on the election of the new Pope, Leo XIV, in light of today’s scripture readings. www.satishjoseph.com/post/a-sheph...

Pope Leo XIV appeals to world powers for 'no more war' in first Sunday appearance reut.rs/44zONOC

Hosffman Opsino, professor of Hispanic ministry at @bcstm.bsky.social and director of Nuevo Momento, will be a part of the May 14 Latino Leader Gathering, “The Latino Catholic Voice in a Divided Nation: Directions Forward in Challenging Times.” RSVP: bit.ly/LatinoCathol... #LatinoCatholicVoice

Still time to join us today at 4 pm eastern for our discussion on Pope Leo and LGBTQ+ Catholics: www.newwaysministry.org/whats-next-t...

Quoted here— apnews.com/article/pope...

Pope Leo XIV used his first Sunday address to the faithful to call for peace. “Never again war,” he said to a roar from the crowd in St. Peter’s Square.

“Who taught you this?” “Bro, I have a brain”

April 28 Scripture "The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes..." (Jn 3:8). As the election of a new Pope begins and progresses, the Spirit blows where it wills. The Spirit accomplishes not the will of man but of God.
