2/ Meanwhile, five prominent Catholic bishops have served on Trump's Religious Liberty Commission or its advisory board: • Archbishop Cordileone (San Francisco) • Bishop Paprocki (Springfield, IL) • Bishop Rhoades (Fort Wayne–South Bend) • Bishop Barron (Winona–Rochester) • Cardinal Dolan (NY)

I hope he encourages diocesan priests to share this with their parishes. Catholic bishops in CT have silenced priests and deacons and forbid them from preaching about immigration injustice.

This is absolute madness! The death penalty is “inadmissible” because it attacks human dignity (CCC 2267). Turning an execution into a livestreamed public spectacle only deepens the cruelty. No crime erases a person’s inherent dignity. Honour the victims. Defend life. Reject vengeance. #HumanDignity

She won an exemption from using AI at her tech job. The Pope's remarks could fuel similar appeals.
Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.

Maria Ressa was awarded the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize (with Dmitry Muratov) for "their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for #democracy and lasting peace." She is the first Nobel laureate from the Philippines. Happy birthday @mariaressa.bsky.social 🥳
A color photograph of Maria Ressa, born October 2, 1963, the pioneering Filipino journalist, co-founder of Rappler, and co-recipient of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. She is standing at a dark wooden podium, captured from the chest up. Smiling broadly with an expression of joy and animation, she looks slightly to the right of the frame. She wears thin, rimless eyeglasses, a black turtleneck, and a textured, patterned blazer in shades of cream and light pink or soft orange. Her right hand is raised forward with her palm open and fingers extended in a welcoming, expressive gesture, while her left hand grips the flexible neck of a black microphone attached to the podium. The warm, soft-focus background suggests a grand indoor lecture hall or auditorium with architectural details. The bright, direct lighting emphasizes her optimistic and commanding presence, reflecting her historical significance as a fearless champion of freedom of expression and democratic resilience.
