FULL INTERVIEW: Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who heads the Catholic Archdiocese for the U.S. Military Services, speaks with @FaceTheNation about the war in Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's rhetoric about the war invoking Jesus' name, and more.

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

And now…story time with Donald Trump.

The real battle actually takes place tomorrow, when each side has the opportunity to try to make the most bombastic comment as possible on social media and cable news.

So excited to read this forthcoming book by my longtime friend, Carl Elliot

@DanielSeidemann When I lived at Hebrew University and then at Augusta Victoria, I visited the British War Cemetery on Mt. Scopus frequently. I always found it a surreal and haunting experience - and a stark reminder of the fragility of empires

1/ 46 years ago, almost to the day, I was a cadet in IDF officers training course. One training mission is indelibly etched in my memory. There were only three of us, armed with M-16s, given a "mission" to navigate the roads and alleys of the Jabaliya Refugee Camp in Gaza.

@DanielSeidemann Sorry for your loss, Daniel - especially with everything else happening. Milo seemed like a beautiful soul.

@DanielSeidemann Incredibly hope-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this (since I have seen no US-based coverage)

5/ Appearing w/Cardinal Pizzaballa is an act of courage The Latin Patriarch is a towering figure, a true son of Jerusalem as it should be, the most important Christian personage in the Middle East Things have been ugly in Jerusalem for quite some time This is a ray of light.

1/ It's difficult to the words to express how important and how moving this photograph and what it means is. For years, the ties between the Governments of Israel were tirn asunder. Nobody If consequence in the Israeli government spoke with the Churches.

@DanielSeidemann This is so good, Daniel. I was a Wallenberg Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1990-1991 and then worked for the Lutheran World Federation at Augusta Victoria and in Ramallah in 1993 and 1996. Your work and witness are incredibly important.
