1. Ecclesiology is an extension of Christology. 2. The social doctrine of the Catholic Church as taught by the popes is firmly rooted in Chalcedonian Christology and the Nicene profession of faith. 3. So too is the entirety of the teaching of Second Vatican Council.

He is right…That you cannot use human categories to define God is not controversial theologically. (Just read some Aquinas 🤷‍♀️)

If using the dead's own words and actions to describe them is speaking ill of the dead, then the real question is why didn't you do more to oppose their harms when they were alive? Or are you using death to hide your comfort with those harms?

Per Vatican, SSPX priests who wish to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church must be “willing to accept the Second Vatican Council and the legitimacy of the Novus Ordo Missae.” That is the crux of the matter and will continue to be a major sticking point for Lefebvrites.

The Supreme Court's decision in the Temporary Protected Status case proves the Supreme Court *is* racist. They don't merely affirm Trump's racism, they endorse it. And while that's not "news" for anyone paying attention, it's still outrageous. My latest in @thenation.com

The Supreme Court Once Again Endorses Trump's Racism
The court took a look at Trump's obviously bigoted handling of the Temporary Protected Status program and said, "Nothing to see here."

I encourage our Jesuit universities--especially those refusing to bargain with or even recognize unionized workers--to heed these vital words from Pope Leo. It's too easy to reduce this message to service trips and donations instead of community-shaping practices. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...
“Your institutions are called not only to teach your students about the injustices faced by those on the margins of society, but also to be powerful channels in promoting systemic change through proposing new models rooted in solidarity and the common good,” the Pope said, in a meeting at the Vatican with the presidents and representatives of Jesuit colleges and universities in North America.

In his address, Pope Leo offered a roadmap to how these institutions can help their members confront society’s most pressing issues.

The Pope drew inspiration from the Jesuits’ four Universal Apostolic Preferences: themes that were established in 2019 and aim to guide the work of the Society of Jesus for the following 10 years.

The Preferences are: showing the way to God, walking with the excluded, journeying with youth, and caring for our common home.
