    Huh, imagine if the bishops said the same about…anything else. “Pastors of the Church should respect and support those individuals whose sincere conscience has led them to a different conclusion in this matter.”

    When the Jesuit priests in El Salvador were killed in 1989, the U.S. government suggested they were Marxist subversives. But forty percent of the House of Representatives were graduates of Jesuit high schools, and knew the lie. They stood up and refused to accept the lie.

    After reading an attack on Jesuit secondary education in @firstthingsmag, I could only think of the hundreds of thousands of graduates now leading quiet lives of faith and service. And the equal number who encountered God thanks to their Jesuit high school education....

    Clericalism emerges when those called to minister the sacraments begin to believe that the sacraments belong to them. americamagazine.org/faith/2022/05/… via @americamag
    I don’t think we should be banning anyone from the Eucharist.

    Every now and then as an editor you get a good one: “as Pope Francis says, the Eucharist is not a reward for the holy, but a medicine for the week.”

    That the author of "A Catholic Case for Trump" should go on Twitter to mock a 13-year-old for his stuttering problem seems somehow right on the nose. The cruelty is the point.

    Cardinal Raymond Burke still lives in that apartment, steps from the Vatican—it costs $10,000 a month—without a job. Forgive me for wondering how this is “Christian charity.”

    George lived in Brooklyn but worked at America’s offices on 56th street in Manhattan. He took the subway every day to 14th, then walked the rest of the way, because he thought no priest should have it better than Christ’s poor.
