- Depicting St. Augustine as a Black man actively decenters whiteness and demands that we recognize what it means for the church, the academy, and the world to acknowledge the intellectual and cultural gifts Africa has given the world, writes @TiaPhD.
- A new documentary highlights Father @JamesMartinSJ's outreach to LGBTQ Catholics and their loved ones.
