The new Times expose on Ukraine is shocking, horrifying, enraging. Everyone involved with this caper needs to be sent up the river

Hey friends, I’m a teacher of theology and catechist for a Catholic parish.

Phenomenal reading, with a guest starring role at the end by Virginia Postrel.
I fly to Vienna tomorrow and then go across the border to Győr, Hungary for a conference in honor of Fr. Jaki. It is a collaboration of the Benedictine Pannonhalma Archabbey where he lived, studied, and is buried and the nearby Győr University. The conference is focused on the very modern ethical question of AI. I love that younger scholars are seeking to apply his teaching to new problems!
Fr. Jaki was born in Győr. Earlier this year, I presented at another conference in his name in Madrid. He …

This is the only evidence used by the Trump administration to throw a gay hairstylist on a plane to a maximum security jail in El Salvador. Tattoos saying Mom and Dad - but with a crown attached which, despite clear denials from the victim, became proof he was a member of a criminal gang. No due process always means mistakes like this.

Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes’s new book about the 2024 campaign is jaw-dropping. I highly recommend checking out my conversation with them and buying their book. This is the first of the flood of Biden books to come. Buckle up. People are spilling tea.

I was reading about Purgatory and indulgences and did you know that when the Church grants an indulgence, the actual gift the Church is giving is coming from the “Treasury of the Satisfaction of Christ and the Saints”.
In their radical acceptance of God’s will, both in their holiness and especially in their martyrdom (in the case of the Saints), there is a overabundance of merit given to the Church.

Last Feb I casually posted this neck stretch on Instagram (that I thought everyone knew 🤷♀️) and it blew up in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s now been viewed over 8 million times 🫣😬🤣 and has brought so many wonderful people into my world.
