The first call Trevon Payton (@Payton11Trevon) received when the transfer portal opened was from @BradleyUMBB head coach @BrianMWardle Five days later, Payton was in Peoria, and Wardle didn’t let him leave without a commitment. This morning, Payton sat down and talked to me about his upbringing in a sports-centered household, development as a basketball player, and his journey from Division II to the Hilltop. Link to the nearly thirty-minute interview below⬇️
As a Catholic, I find it abhorrent that the President of the United States would publicly attack the Successor of St. Peter. Donald Trump is flailing. His war in Iran has led to the death and injury of American servicemembers and the death of Iranian children. He will attack anyone or anything to try to protect himself, even the Church that millions of Americans find faith and comfort in every day. The American people deserve a president who understands the consequences of his words and takes responsibility for his actions.
Pope Leo spoke with reporters while on his flight to Algeria this morning regarding President Trump's latest comments about him and said: "I do not look at my role as being political or a politician. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think that the message of the Gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing. And I will continue to speak out loudly against war, looking to promote peace, promoting dialogue and multilateral relationships among the states, to look for just solutions of the problems. Too many people are suffering in the world today. Too many innocent people are being killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say, there's a better way to do this."
Pope Leo will spend July 4 in Lampedusa, an Italian island in the Mediterranean, where tens of thousands of migrants land on their way to Europe every year. It also marks America's 250th birthday. U.S. cardinals say the visit sends a message. cbsn.ws/4taRe3E
