@Miguel_Casso It was humbling for Einstein to admit that his notion of a static universe was wrong, & that Lemaître’s vision of a dynamic, expanding universe was correct. Yet in acknowledging his mistake, Einstein became more influential in the world of cosmology. God doesn’t make mistakes.

@PadreInAtlanta Einstein mocked Lemaître's theory and the main reason for this was because he was a priest (even the current name of the theory comes from Einstein's mockery)

Two of my favorite astrophysicists and cosmologist theorists.

@HeidiSchlumpf Interesting.

I'm watching this #ChristiansforKamala event tonight, with 5,000 people watching on YouTube. Organizers say $11,000 raised in the first 10 minutes.

The citizens of #Sparta don’t deserve to be bullied and bulldozed by a company that’s never put the public need first. I hope these residents are successful in their legal challenge.

@NewYorker @MassimoFaggioli @vcunningham Snoop was certainly making his presence felt in Paris as much as the array of amazing athletes who were supposed to make their presence felt.

“I can’t be the only one who is delighted and amused but also, on a deep level, totally baffled—like a museumgoer at an early exhibition of Surrealist art—by the constant televisual presence of Snoop Dogg at the Olympics,” @vcunningham writes. nyer.cm/dAP5pWg

@MichaelMcKeon12 Yes … Bro Guy gave a presentation at the parish (pre-Covid) here in Atlanta that’s staffed by the Jesuits. And I do “belong” to the Vatican Observatory Foundation - made a trip out to their Tucson location to visit their VAT telescopes.

@TheAtlantic @Peter_Wehner As the scriptures tell us, a tree is known by its fruit. I don’t expect to get the fruit of goodness from Trump since throughout his life he’s always given bad fruit.

"At precisely the moment when Trump needs to elevate his performance, to the degree that such a thing is even possible, he’s gone back to his most natural state: erratic, crazed, transgressive, self-indulgent, and enraged," @Peter_Wehner argues: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

@BrianFragaNCR @NCRonline Thank you for your piece on this issue. Though I’m not supportive of funding private or parochial schools with public money, I’m looking forward to see how this ultimately plays out in the courts.

2/2 The school and its attorneys have indicated that they will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. It's a case that could have significant ramifications for the First Amendment and church-state relations. A story I wrote earlier this year for @NCRonline: ncronline.org/news/taxpayer-…

1/2 Almost two months since the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that publicly-funded religious charter schools are unconstitutional in that state, a state school board today rescinded its contract w/St. Isidore of Seville Virtual Catholic Charter School.

@Genius69322095 @BreeSolstad Ah … this Archdiocesan celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (picture featured @PadreInAtlanta) was an enormously joyful and beautiful occasion. God is always loving and good.

Oh surprise, surprise …🙄

@exploreplanets Wow!

@carolmaczim @BrianFragaNCR @NCRonline @TonySpence I’m not a journalist, but I had the honor of getting to know @TonySpence through many visits to Nashville while he was editor of the diocesan newspaper. My admiration of his gifts and friendship continued to grow as the years went by. He was a treasure. RIP Tony ❤️🙏🏾

Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.. There is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men.. upon whose well-being our own happiness depends -Albert Einstein

Just a few more day before #ElonMusk moves all of his operations, including #Twitter (X) to Texas. That will be my official day to formally leave this now extremely toxic platform, and enjoy the friendly interactions on #Threads, #Spoutible, and #Tribel exclusively.

@cristopheridlc @BreeSolstad Yep … that me!

@kreme_puff @JUSTinPUSHPLAY @jawashandler I agree he’s a strange person, and his ex wives have illuminated behaviors and concerns that would make me avoid a personal friendship with him. But he’s good at his craft of acting - that can’t be denied.

The Olympic flag handover from Paris to LA, featuring Tom Cruise, was not only very #Hollywood but also incredibly cool! Paris did a great job hosting. Au Revoir #ParisOlympics2024 #ClosingCeremony

LA already has a huge advantage to hosting the next Olympic Games - they don’t have to spend billions building new venues. Instead the money it spends will go to infrastructure improvements around the region that will last decades. LA will shine as much as #Paris2024
