I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor. 1136528889

Robert Orthman @robertorthman.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Seeing some elected officials compare this to proposed Orange Line extension to Roslindale. Not comparable. OL extension would run above-ground on existing commuter rail ROW. BH Ave would require boring miles of tunnel. Eventual rail connection to BH Ave yes but shouldn’t preclude bus lane now. 161
