Not to mention that China has a functional public transit system, so people don't need to drive everywhere like in the US.
I also wish that our local parishes would tell us to get out into the streets, but that's a different story.
I think that plenty of people are ready for the fire. They just don't know how to organize and they are waiting for leaders to tell them where to be and when.
Good question. I wonder if it has something to do with who is organizing the protests. Everyone knew about BLM in 2020. Today, everyone knows about No Kings, but they might not know about the smaller PSL/DSA protests. Either way, I think 3/28 No Kings will be huge.
I've been reading the same thing! This guy somehow completely went under my radar. I had no idea how popular he was, even with normie Catholics. Not good at all.
“Would you imagine what a world without wars would be like?
“A world without the terror of approaching explosions, without rocket alarms shattering the silence of the night?
“Please join me this month in prayer for disarmament and peace. Let's pray and share with others.” — Pope Leo XIV
I've done this for years, but I use a weekly planner and write down my routine. It really helps me!
Does anyone else think it's weird how little he cares about public opinion? Is his brain cooked, or does he have some sinister plan up his sleeve for the midterms/2028?
I've been hearing about this interview all day. I just checked youtube and it's FOUR HOURS long.

Welp!
Is that a rosary bracelet?
Saxon/Norman imagery on a slab at Wirksworth. Annunciation, Nativity, Massacre of the Innocents, Burial of the Virgin, Washing of the Apostles' feet, all grouped around a Greek cross on which we see a lamb.
FIRST THINGS SUBSCRIBE ames Talarico wants to "reclaim Christianity for the left." That's the title of the New York Times interview with Talarico—currently running for Senate in Texas-and the phrasing is revealing. One does not reclaim what one currently possesses. The progressive mainline, whatever else may be said of it, has not possessed a vibrant, living Christianity in a very long time. That the New York Times would frame the question this way is, at least, an honest, if ironic, admission of defeat. That said,
My favorite piece of historical context for this argument is that conservative Christians (particularly, but not exclusively, evangelicals) have made almost this exact argument — verbatim — for more than a century* and it just never lands outside their own circles.
China is testing a train that will go 280mph, making it the fastest conventional train in the world.
The US can't get its shit together to build a single new line.
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
Pete Hegseth is the nephew of Marty Haugen, the composer of well known Catholic hymns including “Gather Us In,” “All Are Welcome,” “Eye Has Not Seen,” and “Shepherd Me, O God.” 🤯
Stop this immoral and illegal war.
Although I’ve been involved with homelessness policy for decades, I’m NOT an expert at it. Very few city planners are. @nerd4cities.bsky.social admits it’s out of his wheelhouse too, but I appreciate his data-driven approach here. Spoilers: rent rates are key & housing SAVES public money.

The theologian and historian Gary Dorrien has made it his mission to chronicle and revive the tradition of Christian democratic socialism.
His work reminds the American left of our project’s spiritual dimensions.
Fr. Paul Keller: "The body [of Christ] is broken and it's hurting. I feel as if in a certain sense, representing a society with dirty hands actually asking for the forgiveness of those who are being detained, as opposed to encouraging them to repent of their sins."
One of the priests who went into the Beoadview facility, Fr. Paul Keller (speaking here), said he felt "a society with dirty hands actually asking for the forgiveness of those who are being detained, as opposed to encouraging them to repent of their sins."
"Clergy remain unsure if ICE will follow the judge’s injunction. Its terms also require that government authorities confer with Chicago clergy to establish safety protocol for Ash Wednesday and negotiate future ministry ... As of Tuesday, Feb. 17, CSPL said they had not heard from ICE officials."
Really amazing that they've recovered the body of Camilo Torres, Colombia's guerrilla priest.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.
I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Here’s what I think Jesus got wrong.
