Honored to be part of this conference on Pope Leo XIV with my CTU colleague @stevenpmillies.com

Seems JD V thought conversion class was a graduate theology degree. Apparently a bunch of folks seem to have crossed their lanes.

So Bishop Barron how will you be responding to this attack on Catholics from your colleague on the Religious Liberty Committee? x.com/ericmetaxas/... @ms.now

Here's the list of appointed members and religious leader advisers, in total 6 Catholic clergy, 5 bishops: Barron, Dolan (Commission); Cordileone, Paprocki, Rhoades (advisers). Waiting...waiting... for their collective outrage! www.justice.gov/religious-li...

Look who is meeting this morning! Can't wait to see what they have to say about last night's attack on Catholicism! www.justice.gov/religious-li...

So as luck would have it the presidential Religious Liberty Commission meets today! Catholic leaders, Dolan, Barron et al will you be raising this attack on Catholicism or perhaps resigning in disgust later today? Maybe that viral rant wasn't random--it was a loyalty test?

Having the privilege of knowing and serving on faculty with Pope Leo's Bible professors, I can only say to Sean Hannity, yes he has read his Bible and couldn't have graduated without passing those courses.

RAPID ACTION ALERT: WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT Emergency protest at the White House at 7 PM. This morning, Trump posted on Truth Social: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” He has set an 8 PM deadline for Iran to reopen the

4/4 The man stood next to an Easter Bunny at a children's event and spoke inappropriately--are there psychiatrists and doctors who can intervene? His family, his cabinet, his whisperers do they not understand the consequences? This is seriously messed up evil.

3/4 The media reports it but one gets the sense they are like nature reporters who do not intervene in violence or rubberneckers at a traffic accident--secretly hoping some major news scoop occurs.

2/4 ONE Catholic bishop spoke out, will it impact Catholics in the military who say no I cannot participate in this advertised war crime? Is there a protest somewhere?

1/4 The USA just threatened again an entire civilization with destruction set for 8pm ET tonight. Yes we may not have voted for him but to the world HE represents US. Congress is on vacation. Christian churches are missing an opportunity to speak out post-Easter. Where is our anti-war movement?

Vicar of Military Archdiocese, Archbishop Broglio on CBS today: "but I do think that it's hard to- to cast this war, you know, as- as- as something that would be sponsored by- by the Lord." Here's the transcript--worth a read! www.cbsnews.com/news/timothy...

While you were distracted by the Baal fest at the WH posing as an Easter lunch, the chief of chaplains was fired by the inept secretary of war-praying. baptistnews.com/article/for-...

Misuse of Matt.27:25 in Christian interpretations gave rise to a conspiracy theory born of fake news. Grappling w/the fraught legacy of Matt. 27:25 takes on urgency in an age of unmitigated hate & rising antisemitism. It becomes a sacred obligation. learn.ctu.edu/palm-sunday-7/

Excellent editorial on the unforced error that is the global tragedy unleashed by the unstable, dangerous, and incompetent USA political administration. Important and necessary read, provides clarity.

Poetic justice: Venezuela gets revenge on the WBC diamond, beating team USA in the 250 anniversary of the USA @ home at the "national pastime!" To borrow from Bad Bunny, in Latin America, “El béisbol es casi religión.” Baseball is nearly religion! www.commonwealmagazine.org/baseball-wor...

Pre-Oscar cinema interview with mis CTU amig@s y colegas C Vanessa White & Ton Sison!

Big day for faculty in theology & popular culture @ Catholic Theological Union, Chicago! Anticipating the Oscars, Ton Sison & @cvanessawhite.bsky.social talk cinema @uscatholic.bsky.social & w/World Baseball Classic final rounds starting tonight, I talk beisbol @commonwealmagazine.org.

"For this Puerto Rican artist, baseball is not only culturally embedded both at home and in diaspora; it is resistance performed, worn, and retold." @cnankofernandez.bsky.social on Bad Bunny, imperialism, and the World Baseball Classic:

@br-gilberto.bsky.social see this?

The man started a war. Has not shown his face or said a public, proper, accountable word. @ms.now @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @abc7.bsky.social @cbsnews.com Truth Social is NOT a an official, government platform. Stop quoting it w/authority. Enough talking heads speculating. Where is press conference?

Urban balcony snowbeing. Just because ...

Of 10 amendments in bill of rights, maybe 2 left: speedy trial & protection from self-incrimination. Gone: Freedom of speech. Rights to: bear arms, fair trial, practice religion, peacefully assemble. Gone are protections: of private property, from cruel punishment, from unreasonable searches.

"Trump has made clear his intention to turn the United States into a reflection of himself: not a leader of the free world or a dependable ally, but a rogue nation with the methods and morals of a mob boss, concerned only for its own narrow interests and ever more greedy for spoils."

Beautiful inaugural speech by Mayor Mamdani. By a New Yorker to New Yorkers with images and references relatable still esp. if you were born and raised in NYC. Transcript here: www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

My take on today's Advent gospel, the genealogy of Jesus (Mt. 1:1-17). In an age of violent disappearances, memory of belonging matters.

So has the Military Archdiocese seen this one yet? Religious liberty under assault again by the current administration. www.stripes.com/branches/arm...

USA is not in a declared war--so please explain how blowing little boats up and killing unknown people is legal? You want to deal with drugs--address addictions at home, in humane and supportive environments. Right now it feels like we are living in an immoral madman's bad video game.

Honored to be included in this conjunto of preachers!

At what point did anyone in that cabinet meeting consider speaking up against the vile racist, dehumanizing language tr$mp used against Somali people? How many Catholics around that table--devil caught your tongue? Ya basta!

On this All Souls Day...we remember...

In these days of remembering those we have lost... "Through memorial days & rituals of commemoration we navigate (what Pope Francis called} the "tension between memory & hope.' We affirm that where there is remembrance there is mañana!" learn.ctu.edu/the-commemor...

@stevenpmillies.com have you seen this yet? A classic!

Spend Sunday afternoon chatting with some of the faculty who taught Pope Leo XIV! Registration: ctu.edu/event/sunday... Onsite in Chicago/Online on Zoom!

Great work by my friend @kenjenkinsny.bsky.social. More public officials should stand up the way Ken has in Westchester.

Catholics showed up today. More of this. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
