I was proud to have graduated last night with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from @notredameaus. Here are some snaps from the ceremony. Thankfully my parents were able to come along to witness it (very sadly Elizabeth was sick and unable to!)

@daniel_drain I really should buy it...! haha

@TomGourlay @TomGourlay here ya go brother!

Does anyone have this book? Can you please send me a picture of the contents page? Enlightening the Mystery of Man: Gaudium et spes Fifty Years Later edited by Antonio Lopez

@daniel_drain Thanks so much!

@daniel_drain I would be very appreciative, thanks. My library will be able to do document delivery on specific chapters, but I need to know what I am asking for. Thanks again Danny. Hope you and the family are well!

@TomGourlay I have at my office and can do so in about 12 hours!

@BobbyMixa @AndrewPetiprin @SpeSalviInst Whoa! Amazing! +Varden is so great. I can't wait to listen

@AndrewPetiprin and I recently had Bishop Erik Varden on the @SpeSalviInst podcast. We discussed his Lenten retreat for Pope Leo XIV, faith in Europe, spiritual awakening, the world after secularism, the films of Krzysztof Kieślowski, and the nature of Christian hope. I've been following his work at Coram Fratribus for years. He's one of the few bishops with such depth and clarity. I bet he'll be a cardinal soon. youtu.be/6K4JpjwaNbk?si…

@bktheologian Oooooo that looks pretty tasty!

Just got this.

Deeply inspired by these Sisters’ courage and mission. ⁦Much to learn from their exemplary sensitivity to the topic. @Danielleshabit⁩ ⁦@pursuedbytruth⁩ ⁩ thedispatch.com/article/cathol…

Students remember more when they write it down on paper. Not type it. Not screenshot it. Write it! The act of writing slows students down, adds tactile feedback, and helps lock it into memory.

Novelist and poet Rikki Ducornet, the inspiration for Steely Dan’s “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, was born on this day in 1943. Ducornet was married to a Bard College professor when Donald Fagen gave her his number at a college party. She lost the number and did not call him.

The New Yorker just dropped this, who would’ve thought a little college called the College of Saint Joseph the Worker, specializing in the trades, could revolutionize education! newyorker.com/news/annals-of…

I'd be there if I could...

@emmaogreen Great writing - such an important development in the post-secondary school education landscape. Hopefully we'll see this initiative inspiring similar developments the world over

These days, I'm thinking a lot about what makes us human. Local community over national politics. Making physical things. Relationships. Religion. My latest , about a new Catholic trade school in Steubenville, Ohio, is about all of that. Give it a read. newyorker.com/news/annals-of…

Th College of St Joseph the Worker is about the most exciting thing happening in post-secondary school education these days. Thrilled to see it profiled here so prominently

No greater metaphor for this entire week than Pete Hegseth quoting a fake Bible verse from the movie Pulp Fiction to Pentagon staff.
