I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:

Jesus didn’t build a grand arena to hold gladiator fights for his own amusement. That was Caesar.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Fr @cebm.bsky.social shared this on his facebook. Its a poem by Rob Hardy, a former poet laureate in Northfield, MN. Powerful poem. ⚓️
A poem titled Communion

There's no bread. 
The bakers have gone into hiding. 
The seats at the table are empty.
The Twelve are out marching with the thousands. 
The streets are filled with a new song. 
Only Judas sits at Target Plaza, counting his silver,
While Pontius Pilate issues a carefully-worded statement. 
Meanwhile, the centurians have quotas to fill.
But out in the streets there's a Communion. 
Jesus takes the city in his hands and says,
"This is my body, broken for you."

Rob Hardy,

“poem about light” by Kathleen Sheeder Bonnano You can try to strangle light: use your hands and think you’ve found the throat of it, but you haven’t. You could use a rope or a garrote or a telephone cord, but the light, amorphous, implacable, will make a fool of you in the end. (1/3)

Ezra Klein is trying in this column to argue that Kirk was doing politics correctly if you just ignore the content of what he was advocating. That he was contributing to American democracy by arguing civilly for the subjugation of women, gay people, trans people. It simply doesn’t work.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.
