The president determined that he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. as long as he supports parochial schools.

Makes perfect sense when you remember how Bonhoeffer became a huge supporter of Hitler because of the left's viciousness over H's private remarks about the Jews, which made Bonhoeffer think maybe God chose Hitler to shame the church. (Note to Trump: This is how sarcasm works.)

More and more, I find myself thinking of Dorothee Soelle as one could speak to our situation today.
Dorothee Soelle, theologian and mystic (one who has "borrowed the eyes of God"), came of age in post-war Germany, a country that bore the "stench of gas." It instilled in her a duty to question authority, to rebel, and to remember the lessons of the dead." bit.ly/2r3FPFE

Sarcasm was so widely deployed on the estate that any sentence might mean its opposite. For instance, when the master addressed a birthday card to his “Noble wife,” and she replied, “Thank you, kind sir,” neither could be certain of the implied sentiment. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Now you’ve got me worrying that when the Buddha spoke of the 4 Noble Truths he was just being sarcastic. 🥺

Mass at St Patrick’s this morning watered so many spiritual bouquets today.
.@FoxNews just doesn’t get what’s happening! They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research. They forgot that Fake News @CNN & MSDNC wouldn’t let @FoxNews participate, even a little bit, in the poor ratings Democrat Debates.....

We all know that you was robbed when the “Noble” Committee failed to honor either Celebrity Apprentice or “Think Like a Billionaire.” Not to mention your visionary work on epidemiology, sunlight and household cleansers.

Trump holds a call with 600 Catholic leaders in which he nakedly appeals for their votes and not one raises a critical question or invokes any reference to Pope Francis’ wider agenda. They were all grateful for the 20 pieces of silver, though.
NEW: @realDonaldTrump had a call with Catholics yesterday where he identified as the "best president in history of the Church" & warned of what "the other side" would do on abortion, religious freedom, & school choice if he loses reelection

This is Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, virtually in my backyard, where I can safely walk each day without risk of joggers, while pondering mortality and conceiving my next #TolstoysTalesofTrump. But perhaps I should adjust my irony setting.

Birthday William Stringellow (1928-1985), attorney, lay theologian, prophet. He set out to devise an American moral theology, relating “the American experience of society and nationhood to the biblical saga and social witness.” It was, he observed, “a pitifully neglected realm.”

His great theme was the Constantinian compromise, the accommodation of Christianity to the values of the empire and the preservation of the status quo. He was a tireless witness against war, militarism, racism, sexism, and oppression of the poor.
