The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

I went to check and this is a real thing: "Coverd" - an app that you connect to your credit card that allows you to gamble over your debts. The nihilism of technocapitalism is going to devastate whatever is left of our social fabric. Christians really need to experiment with alternatives...

The JMT was honored to learn yesterday that we are now indexed as an "A list" journal in ANVUR: www.anvur.it/en. This expands the growing list of research databases in which we are indexed: jmt.scholasticahq.com/about. We are grateful to ANVUR for the honor!

200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants. The titled the letter: “Jesus is Being Tear Gassed at Broadview" religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

Another unexpected piece of good news for a Monday. Congrats to @mikeoloughlin.bsky.social for a well-deserved appointment and good move by @ncronline.bsky.social . www.ncronline.org/news/ncr-nam...

So glad to see this!

Pope Leo has named Boston Auxiliary Bishop Mark O’Connell (61) as Bishop of Albany. He succeeds Bishop Ed Scharfenberger whose retirement was accepted by the Pope.

“I hope that if anyone sees this video and is disturbed by it, that what they think about is that if they are willing to do that to a clergy in broad daylight, imagine what they are doing to detainees in the dark.” Grateful for the prophetic witnesses in our midst. baptistnews.com/article/unit...

Finished reading: The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s by Paul Elie 📚 I was a kid in the 1980s & this book connected some important dots for me. I now better understand the groundwork for today’s culture wars and the crypto-religious nature of key artists & musicians.

We are delighted that the print version of "Plastic Pollution, Theological Ethics, and the Call of Laudato Si'" is now available from Wipf and Stock! @ctewc.bsky.social wipfandstock.com/979838525533...

...that has capacity for the review. This demonstrates the administration's disdain for ethics and integrity, which is necessary for #PublicHealth. The individual researchers, pharma companies, and ultimately citizens are on their own. 2/2

In first remarks since ICE raids descended on Chicago, Cardinal Cupich “called the administration's aggressive immigration tactics unnecessary and intolerable. He says those tactics are intended to terrorize.” abc7chicago.com/post/chicago...

As the procession reaches Broadview, priests have been denied access to ICE detention facility in order to bring the Eucharist to detainees.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Asked while leaving Castel Gandolfo about the statement from the Israeli Embassy attacking Cardinal Parolin for his interview with Vatican media that could risk undermining peace efforts, the Pope says: “the cardinal expressed the Holy See's opinion very well.”

Pope Leo: “Just as Pope Francis spoke of the culture of encounter as the antidote for the globalization of indifference, we must work to confront the globalization of powerlessness by fostering a culture of reconciliation.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Pope Leo to Doctors: “The algorithm cannot substitute a gesture of closeness or a word of consolation.” press.vatican.va/content/sala...

NEW: Cardinal Cupich: “…the tragic reality in our nation today is that there are essentially no Catholic public officials who consistently pursue the essential elements of Catholic social teaching because our party system will not permit them to do so.” www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...

Abortion cancel culture has claimed Dick Durbin. Honorably, @durbin.senate.gov has declined an honor from the Archdiocese of Chicago. That's a damn shame. But there are worse things. I don't ask often. But please share this widely if you would. Thank you. millies.substack.com/p/millions-o...

Since nothing clearly has been gained, then the question is: what is their real objective?

Even if just a little bit, the people who prevented @durbin.senate.gov from being honored have made the Trump Admin's work easier. They silenced voices speaking agnst detaining & deporting. They kept Cupich & Durbin from shining light on it. Think about that. millies.substack.com/p/millions-o...

This is very good news, but there's always the caveat, isn't there: "Treatment is likely to be very expensive." The dollar amount is not given.

On this day 10 years ago, Pope Francis delivered an historic speech to Congress. He issued a sweeping prophetic challenge for the U.S. to live up to its ideals, words that are even more urgent today. Full text: www.vatican.va/content/fran...

keep hope alive!

great resources here including a system where you can sign up for texts if there are ICE raids in your zip code. And an emergency number to program into your phone so can report raids, violations, brutality and the like. www.handsoffchicago.com?fbclid=IwY2x...
