Nice to be quotes in this piece: "God’s love for people and God’s call to love others resonates especially with students who are looking for meaning in life while also experiencing a sense of loneliness."

Honored to give the 2026 Bernadette O’Connor Lecture at UIW this week. The question: Does Catholic education make a difference? Yes! From national data and graduate stories: it shapes meaning, ethics, community, work, and even how students approach AI.

If you only focus on financial outcomes (which are real and important), you miss all the things colleges do for students, including those who don't come from the upper class.

My new op-ed just came out in the San Antonio Express-News: “Reconciliation begins where we serve together.” It's on Pope Leo XIV "On Love of the Poor", on how love can break down walls and brings people together. www.expressnews.com/opinion/comm...

Pope Leo’s call to love the poor could cross political aisles and heal divisions

We might find that healing the nation begins in the hands that reach out to one another.

I’m glad to share results from our national study of Catholic law school graduates. Compared to secular peers, they are more likely to practice law, to connect their work with their values, and to serve in civic leadership. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/265991/...

Study: Catholic law grads outpace secular peers in practice, purpose

The study, commissioned by the St. Mary’s University School of Law, found that 2025 graduates of Catholic law schools are more focused on ethics, service, and community.

Just returned from a weekend with fellow Catholic ethicists from @ctewc.bsky.social. Had good conversations about the future of moral theology and how we can support one another in our global networks. Here's a photo of those of us from North America. #CTEWC #CatholicEthics #MoralTheology

I’ve been thinking a lot about where theology in a changing academic world. Here is a reflective piece in America Magazine drawing from the College Theology Society’s recent gathering. www.americamagazine.org/faith/2025/0...

Can theology survive the crisis in Catholic higher education?

The world of academic theology is facing the cumulative effect of long-building forces, forces reshaping not only theology but the entire structure of higher education.

Just as Pope Leo XIV calls the Church to unity, his story is already raising tough questions—about family, division, and what binds us together. I offered a few reflections in this @ReligionNews article on the Pope and his brother. #PopeLeoXIV #ReligionAndPolitics religionnews.com/2025/05/23/c...

Catholics see a familiar political divide in Pope Leo XIV and his eldest brother

(RNS) — Catholic leaders hope the pope’s relationship with his brother will help Catholics in the US learn to better love each other in spite of political differences.

It's a good book if I do say so myself. Thanks @drrleong.bsky.social for the good work!

I think this makes doing theology in the broader public difficult. No matter what you say, it seems like you are advocating for one party or another. Instead of just talking about the gospel and its demands on our lives. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/s...

Working on my book about Catholic higher education. Turns out research suggests that cuts—tuition, programs, core, faculty— don't save colleges. They may give a short-term boost but often make things worse long-term. Cuts frame education economically and make the college look like a discount store.

Should we worry that relationships and community are becoming a luxury item?

Jason King @jking66.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

It is a bad news article but it does note that "What no one much doubts is that people with nimble brains find it rather easier to swerve life’s worst misfortunes, and are more likely to enjoy the best outcomes." Some support for good education.

Sometimes saying get off your phones or social media is elitist. You have to have a certain status to be free to ignore what's going on around you. (It is also true that I need to put my phone down more.)
