Absolute bombshell. Pope Leo directly rebukes the Trump administration on live TV. He explicitly declares that God rejects the prayers of leaders who wage war, stating their hands are full of blood. A devastating moral condemnation of Washington's warmongering.

Did not think I’d be getting an email from the university telling me about an increased number of coyotes on campus this morning

You may know of the meme that people made of me saying 'NICE!' or even 'NOICE!'. Today I discovered, when talking to some French children near Paris (aged 9 and 10) that they knew it as well and they asked me to 'do it'. 'Faites le!'. So I did.

May #OurLadyOfLourdes, whom we celebrate today, accompany you with a mother’s care, intercede for you before God, and obtain graces to sustain you on your journey. We entrust to her all those who are ill, whom we remember with particular affection on this World Day of the Sick. #PrayTogether

@MichaelRosenYes @johnesharp @seatradelaw They believe it frames a “national identity” but great literature transcends the geographical setting and touches on the human condition NIT the national one - if it is solely national then it treads close to “propaganda”? #discuss?
