“If I have read the Bible correctly, I know many men who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ or have even rejected the official interpretation of Christianity who will...if Jesus came in our midst today in the flesh, be owned by him more than many of us.” Gandhi d 1/30/48

Ignazio Silone, the Italian author of "Bread and Wine," broke with the church in his youth. The issue was not doubt or dissent about the substance of faith but a disillusionment with the church's lack of courage and credibility in facing the grave social questions of the day.

Today the Russian Orthodox Church commemorates the feast of St. Andrei Rublev (1430), whose icons achieved a new level of artistic and spiritual depth. His icon of the "Savior of Zvenigorod" was discovered in 1918 on the bottom of a board used as the stairway in a barn.

A wonderful review. My interview with @LindaDakinGrimm here. piped.video/gS04MLcwTDk
I am honored to review @LindaDakinGrimm’s book “Dignity & Justice: Welcoming the Stranger at Our Border,” published by @OrbisBooks. When we learn why people cross the border, we can grow in our compassion for them. @Where_Peter_is

To his gilded place of exile, the former master received a parade of penitents, all assuring him that any fleeting hint of disloyalty had been designed to preserve their future usefulness in his service. Did he believe them? He liked to keep them guessing. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

During the Occupation of France, while anticipating Liberation, Albert Camus published a series of “Letters to a German Friend.” He quoted his “friend” saying, 5 years previously, “The greatness of my country is beyond price. Anything is good that contributes to its greatness.”

Camus demurred: “No… There are means that cannot be excused. And I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice. I don’t want a greatness born of blood and falsehood. I want to keep it alive by keeping justice alive.”

“We shall meet soon again—if possible. But our friendship will be over. You will be full of your defeat. You will not be ashamed of your former victory. Rather, you will longingly remember it with all your crushed might…
