St. Christina the Astonishing (d 1224) suffered a severe seizure and was pronounced dead. She awoke in church in her funeral Mass and flew "like a bird" to the rafters. She related an extraordinary story.

Those who say Critical Race Theory is incompatible with Catholic Social Teaching should go back and read what John Paul II said about “structures of sin” in Sollicitudo Rei Socialis.

This is actually the most important question! Where is the money coming from?
That brings us back to the question of who funds The Pillar. Such investigations don't come cheap. Do the site's funders have an enemies list? Do the editors choose to reveal dirt on some folks & not others? Why should we trust their good intentions without knowing their donors?

“To acknowledge the sins done in the name of our Church, and to model repentance and restitution for this sin, is not a betrayal of the Church. It is our only option for living the Gospel.”
"The odd trait uniting the souls in Dante’s hell is their refusal to accept that they deserve to be there." @second_sailing

So grateful for you & your work at @OrbisBooks!!
Began working at @orbisbooks on July 6, 1987, 34 years ago. So grateful for this life, my colleagues, the authors I have worked with, and support of @MaryknollFrsBrs. Every day I get to wake up and say, "Here I am. Let's get to work." view.flipdocs.com/?ID=100273….

15 yrs ago I had the privilege of transcribing and editing Dorothy Day’s Diaries for publication (“The Duty of Delight”). For the canonical process it is necessary to re-transcribe all the diaries without any editing. magazine.nd.edu/stories/more…

with separate scans of every pg. They only went to 1979–a yr before her death. I asked the CW if anyone knew what happened to 1980. Searching her room they located her final 1980 diary in her bedside table where it had lain undisturbed for 26 yrs. To hold that in my hands! 🔥❤️⭐️

Dominican Bartolomé de Las Casas, “Protector of the Indians” d. July 18, 1566. His story raises the question: Who are those in our world who “don’t count,” whose humanity does not measure up, whose aspirations and needs are not our concern? My reflections: americamagazine.org/issue/la…
