There are so many broken promises in America and in the Church. And Juneteenth is a good opportunity for us to reflect on them and what we want to do about it.

The Catholic Church teaches that wealthy people who withhold from the poor are *literally* stealing from them. Just fyi.

Augustine and Aquinas are famous for viewing women… in not the highest light.   But is this all the Church has to say about marriage, friendship, and the creation of woman? You can learn more in the Mezzo episode: What ‘Traditional Marriage’ Actually Meant

@CDamianWrites In his YouTube video with a paltry 200 views, did you catch where wannabe failed journalist Chris Damian has no fucking clue what natural law is. I did.😉

It’s cute when straight Catholics try to explain Church teaching to LGBTQ+ people. It usually just demonstrates how behind they are. You can learn more in the Catholic Insider series, available on the Mezzo podcast!

The reason why Fr. Mike Schmitz and Kim Zember’s argument against the term “gay Christian” doesn’t work, is because they get grammar wrong.   And these are the thoughts that keep me up at night…

Even when you’re actively fighting for your neighbors, you can still struggle with guilt that you’re not doing more. I had the privilege of unpacking this and much more with Laura Fanucci and Jacqui Skemp.   More in the Mezzo episode: Minnesota Catholics respond to ICE occupation

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al. Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

What if the way natural law is currently used is actually a betrayal of Aristotle and Aquinas’s tradition? In the latest Mezzo episode, we'll unpack how modern misreadings of natural law warp our understanding of human flourishing and also enable abuses. youtu.be/apF41LTl6Lw

A liberal arts education is important, because my (limited) study of Wagner helped me accept that I like Rebecca Black’s music video for Speakerphone better than the song itself. That is all.

When people protest and are mistreated, some say, “They created the situation, so they asked for the mistreatment.”   That argument would be similar to saying, “Jesus asked to be crucified.”   You can learn more in the Mezzo episode: Gay Catholic Disclosure as Civil Disobedience

Despite the controversy, the lawyering, and the silliness, we are one Church. So I took a moment in Sedona’s Chapel of the Holy Cross today to say a prayer for @RCCourage and all who engage with the ministry. In the mystery of grace, we are one Body and we belong to one another.

@maryfiorito @NelwynToes Did you not read the article? From literally the first paragraph: “Despite the prevalence of the question, there has been little formal explanation by Church authority. The following then is merely one canonist’s view on the topic.” lol

Father Mike Schmitz and Kim Zember put out a video where they said Catholic parents cannot attend their children’s same-sex weddings. And I love this video. Because it shows how big the Church is and how gracious God can be.
