True, but turns out (surprise!) that US Catholics schooled for years to believe that the Church only cared about abortion are bewildered. Wait till they hear about nuclear arms, just wage, death penalty, ecology & other planks of Catholic social doctrine. religionnews.com/2025/01/27/tha…

America's wealthiest tech oligarchs are showering Trump's inaugural committee with millions in donations. Why are billionaires aligning with fascists? So the rest of us fight each other and don't look up to see where all the wealth and power have gone.

I always look forward to sharing my annual list of favorite books, movies, and music. Today I’ll start by sharing some of the books that have stuck with me long after I finished reading them. Check them out this holiday season, preferably at an independent bookstore or library!

There's so much misinformation about Mary of Nazareth that gets circulated, sometimes innocently, sometimes deliberately. People often erase the reality of who she was, and set up a fake Mary in her place. So I really enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the real Mary.
U.S. Catholic magazine@USCatholic

On this episode of the podcast, biblical scholar AJ Levine talks with hosts @ejesanna and @RBrattenWeiss about the historical Mary—what her life was like, what her family was like, and how she practiced her Jewish faith. uscatholic.org/articles/20241…

@Brcremer Power can take many forms: economic power, moral power, political power, spiritual power. But whatever form it takes, it is ultimately the same—the temptation to replace love with control.

It’s always seemed completely strange to me that there should be any resistance whatsoever to evolution in Christianity. Christians should have been the first in line to recognize and cooperate with such a dynamic notion of God. #DailyMeditations tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8

Dopo più di 80 anni le parole di Chaplin sono più attuali che mai: “Abbiamo i mezzi per spaziare, ma ci siamo chiusi in noi stessi. La macchina dell'abbondanza ci ha dato povertà, la scienza ci ha trasformati in cinici, l'abilità ci ha resi duri e cattivi. Pensiamo troppo e sentiamo poco. Più che macchinari, ci serve umanità, più che abilità ci serve bontà e gentilezza; senza queste qualità la vita è violenza e tutto è perduto.” Dovremmo ripartire dal Discorso all'Umanità di Chaplin per un nuovo rinascimento culturale.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history. It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow. Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at ricksteves.com/fascism. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching. When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.

Beautiful insight from Fr. Timothy Radcliffe, OP, today during his @Synod_va retreat meditation, on John 21: "The Beloved Disciple can recognize the stranger on the beach and say, 'It is the Lord!'" May we all recognize Christ in the "strangers" we encounter.
