That an American Cardinal from Chicago, but with deep international experience, Robert Prevost, took the name Leo XIV, the world may now see the consequences of his following Leo XIII who set the foundations of modern Catholic Social Teaching, and called the "father of social justice."

We are inviting you to join us at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, June 10th, to stand up against these harmful budget cuts. We want to show that Christians, across all of our traditions, are against these callous cuts to the most vulnerable and marginalized.

Pope Francis was known for the same things as Jesus was: his deepest love for the poor and vulnerable, his warmest welcome to migrants, his consistent visits with prisoners, his bold confrontations of the rich and powerful, his faithfulness in calling for an end to war and violence.

If the dangerous and incompetent war time secrets debacle with Cabinet members--accidentally including a journalist--does not get the serious attention of Republicans, we must ask what will? Is this a final sign that a whole political party has been taken over by one man and his MAGA vision?

Donald Trump wants to be an imperial president. This is not the first time that American presidents have acted in imperial ways. But in most cases they have been called mistakes, overreaches, or just wrong– either contemporaneously or retrospectively.

We have great battles in Congress ahead about government spending. Therefore, it is time to ask which House and Senate members are willing to make defending Medicaid and SNAP for low income people and families a moral issue, and for those who call themselves followers of Jesus- a faith issue.

Rev. Jim Wallis @revjimwallis.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

After the Republican bill passed last night, Medicaid and Snap--health and food for the poor--seem about to be slashed. That will devastate the very people Jesus taught us to protect. Expect an escalation of faith in response.

The rise of the far-right in Germany is deeply alarming but the Center-Right and Center-Left coalition should still hold. But the far right is rapidly trying to take over America from the White House. Trump together again with Putin are working to have a few dictators take over the world.

Is Trump's claim that if you think you are saving the country you don't have to abide by laws, just another provocation or a plan? The brave federal prosecutors who resigned are not "collateral damage" but have shown us the way to honor Presidents Day.
