@deacongreg.bsky.social spent 25 years as a writer at CBS News. I got to know him back in the halcyon days of early blogging circa 2009. In this episode of @deaconspod.bsky.social, he speaks with @deaconmike.bsky.social and Deacon Mike Berstene about Pope Leo, being a cancer survivor, and more:

Say the word and you'll be free Say the word and be like me Say the word I'm thinking of Have you heard the word is love? It's so fine, it's sunshine It's the word, love In the beginning I misunderstood But now I've got it, the word is good The Beatles I approve this message.

When Catholics say "the Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life," does too much emphasis get put on "summit" and not enough on "source"? @grnmtnby.bsky.social and @deacondrew.bsky.social chat with Kathryn Muensterman of @notredame.bsky.social about that on @deaconspod.bsky.social:

Kathryn Muensterman has written an important essay in @commonwealmagazine.org and we had a great conversation about “From Summit to Source”. What is your response to the Eucharist? What is our response to the presence of Christ in our lives?

This seems like, and I admit, most likely is, an inhospitable thing to say, but why do people set themselves up on the beach 15 feet away when they have a whole beach. In front of me. Please feel free to tell me all that’s wrong with me.

Acts: “Stephen said to the people, the elders, and the scribes: “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the Holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors.” If I spoke to my congregation like this, someone might throw fruit at me. But I doubt they would stone me

I’m embarrassed to admit that I never really explored Caiaphus’ role in our salvation as told by the Gospel of John in today’s Gospel. Perhaps his motivation was wrong, but like Judas, he seems to be a feature of God’s plan for us. What does that really say about Caiaphus? What do you think?

Deacon Drew @deacondrew.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Not fast enough. And not hard enough. But it’s cracking. It will fall. And while we believe in forgiveness and reconciliation, many of those who foolishly enabled this do not, despite their claims that they do. And as they suffer because of the fall, they will turn upon each other.

He’s so much more than our recording engineer: he’s a theologian, a professor, an author, a husband, a father and a great friend. Check out his book and our interview.

You don’t have to be a republican or a democrat to be against war. You just have to be a person who is against war. It helps if you can see humanity in the stranger. War is not the language of a person who loves.

As we leave Black History Month, I have that (too frequent) disgust bubbling up at those who would whitewash our history and push back on the idea that our freedoms as a nation must be seen in light of our national and local efforts to restrict those freedoms on the basis of color.

Feb 12 Scripture Solomon began extremely well but he lost God's favor (1 kgs 11:4-13) because of his infidelity to the Covenant. As a result, the kingdom was divided into two. Sin and evil are not merely private choices. Even our most private sins affect our families, our church, and our community.
