"The Trump administration seems determined to fashion ICE into an American-style secret-police force—a group of unidentifiable agents encouraged to operate with impunity." — @susanbreynolds.bsky.social www.commonwealmagazine.org/pinochet-tru...

I contributed an essay to a @commonweal.bsky.social symposium on Christian Smith's latest release, Why Religion Went Obsolete. www.commonwealmagazine.org/overlooked-t...

Overlooked Treasure
Obsolescence may be the source of Millennial religious rejection. But it is also the key to understanding Millennial religious embrace.

Incredibly smart and informative piece from @annarowlands.bsky.social

What Pope Leo’s Augustinian Background Tells Us About his Papacy
Pope Leo XIV is the first Pope from the Order of St. Augustine, which suggests he will promote peace and dialogue.

I enjoyed joining CNN’s Victor Blackwell yesterday morning to reflect on Pope Francis’s funeral and on what comes next for the church. Every decade or so, all of our niche ecclesiological expertise becomes breaking news-level thrilling

With profound gratitude for the life and Petrine ministry of Pope Francis, For his unflinching desire to give himself to the mission, “hasta que Dios diga”, With great sorrow at his passing: “The souls of the just are in the hands of God”, May he rest in peace from his labors.

"Sisters and brothers, especially those of you experiencing pain and sorrow, your silent cry has been heard and your tears have been counted; not one of them has been lost!" This line from Pope Francis's Urbi et Orbi brought tears to my eyes. The message of his pontificate in a nutshell.

I don’t know about you, but cybertrucks give me the urge to stick my gum on them like I’m waiting in line for the Log Ride at old Elitches. @susanbreynolds.bsky.social’s brilliant essay in @commonweal.bsky.social helped me understand why.
