If the master ever died, he hoped that people would say beautiful things about him: that no one knew better how to keep the spirit of Christmas year round or was smarter about taxes. But mostly he imagined ingenious forms of “pay-back” against his enemies. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Sandra Schneiders in her foreword to @Pontifex's The Gospel of Luke (@OrbisBooks): ""More pointedly than his immediate predecessors, Francis seems to have internalized and perhaps privileges, in a certain way, the Lukan portrait of Jesus." FD of St. Luke

"To Avoid Armageddon, Don't Modernize ICBMs--Eliminate Them." Land-based ICBMs are a world-ending catastrophe waiting to happen, and are completely superfluous to a reliable deterrent. My article with @normansolomon in @thenation: thenation.com/article/world/…

More people point to the “handguns,” “tasers” and “baseball bats” as evidence the riot was an armed insurrection.

Some of you point to the 'gallows' at the Capitol riot as evidence the riot was an armed insurrection. Call it a threat, call it an ugly symbol, call it a prop, call it what you like. But it wasn't a real gallows. ow.ly/CCRg30rXhfA

He HAS addressed it! He has done more than any other pope to address it! He has removed 2 Cardinals from the priesthood, set up standards of accountability for bishops should they mishandle cases, he has mandated the setting set up of standard procedures each diocese must have…

Thank you. I was amazed to read his letters to the church in Chile on sex abuse. A little known story. @OrbisBooks orbisbooks.com/letters-of-tr…
Posted on the wrong date, but still a great story about a modern lay saint.

Pope Francis says that the protests following the killing of #GeorgeFloyd had the spirit of the Good Samaritan.
“This movement did not pass by on the other side of the road when it saw the injury to human dignity caused by an abuse of power.”

Following the massacre of the Jesuit community at the Central American University in San Salvador in 1989, Dean Brackley, Jesuit from Fordham, volunteered to take their place. Aside from teaching and parish work he welcomed countless American college students on immersion trips.

A wonderful excerpt from Danté Stewart’s new. Shows the ongoing power of James Cone’s work. Wish he had lived to see this and so much else. via @NYTOpinion nytimes.com/2021/10/16/opini…

The master’s lap dogs professed their undying love. But could they be trusted? Might they not, in a driving storm, revert to a pack of ravening wolves? That is why he maintained their loyalty by regular beatings. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
