- pope Francis responds to VP JD Vance, a catholic (and to his supporters), on the "ordo amoris"
- reminder: no saint of the Catholic Church will ever be woke enoughThey just toppled the statue of Saint Junipero Serra, a Catholic missionary priest, in San Francisco. x.com/jrivanob/statu…
- there is a substantial difference between delivering a prayer to a party convention and a partisan speech like this
- I think that a Catholic bishop of a local Church should be with and in his local Church at this time, not in Rome working with the media to cover the conclave.
- 7-yo daughter doing homework: "Why are there so many MEN in the Bible?"
- What would St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas think of a politician who said falsely, during the campaign, that Haitian refugees were eating pets? Ordo amoris etc
- for Catholics it is better to be in communion with the pope than with their political party
- has one Catholic bishop ever denied communion to any pro death penalty republican
- This is blasphemous and I think all church leaders that are minimally serious should say something
- I am surprised that a prominent Catholic bishop talks in this way about members of his flock. Or maybe someone else is handling social media for him.Replying to @LarryChappGS22It frankly delights me to see how I obviously haunt the fevered imaginations of those on the extreme Catholic left.
- Christmas surprise! My book "Joe Biden and Catholicism in the United States" will be available on January 20, Inauguration Day (available for pre-order on Amazon). Edizione italiana disponibile lo stesso 20 gennaio, per la Editrice Morcelliana.
- this morning first communion for our daughter (after it was postponed last spring)
- Pope Francis (chosen by Bannon as his ideological adversary) in 2019: "Those who build walls will become prisoners of the walls they put up"Steve Bannon Arrested In Scheme To Raise Money For Trump's Border Wall npr.org/2020/08/20/904…
