Just saw #Conclave. I haven’t enjoyed a movie that much, at every level, in a long, long time.

Is integralism the same as nationalism, and does it threaten our constitution or religious liberty? On this episode, scholar Nicholas Hayes-Mota talks to Emily Sanna and R Bratten Weiss about integralism and how it relates to the current political climate. uscatholic.org/articles/20241…

Wanna learn more about Catholic integralism, the formerly obscure reactionary ideology that is now enjoying a resurgence and, thanks to JD Vance, some time in the headlines? As it happens, I just did a podcast about it! Thanks to U.S. Catholic magazine for the invitation!

A strange yet fitting day to put together the syllabus for my new course on “Conflict and the Common Good.” And a needed reminder that there are deeper values than partisanship.

A terrific article on COPS/Metro by Aleja Hertzler-McCain . Honored to be featured in it. The inspiring work of this 50 year old organization—which lastingly transformed faith-based organizing—is all the more important in our present political moment. religionnews.com/2025/01/13/pio…

On a day like today, I am so grateful to belong to a communion of over one billion Catholics, with whom I can join in praying for this pope. In so many ways, he is a gift from God. #PrayforPopeFrancis

There is fake news out there about the Pope. When someone says “reliable sources at Gemelli,” please stop there! The info coming from the Vatican is approved by Francis and his doctors. Pope says he wants doctors to be truthful with the public. Anything beyond that is nonsense!

It wasn’t cold. It’s 5 mins from his €8000 p/month apartment, where he remains despite undermining the pope at every turn. Vatican officials were asked to attend; 27 cardinals did. He went to pray, which is not an act of charity for a priest.

Delighted to be invited back to U.S. Catholic magazine’s “Glad You Asked” podcast to discuss a provocative yet timely question: “Are Billionaires Going to Hell?” If you’re curious about that too, please have a listen! uscatholic.org/articles/20250…

During his homily, the cardinal paid tribute to the major themes of Francis' papacy, including concern for migrants, the environment, interreligious dialogue, his outreach to society's most forgotten and the pope's command to "build bridges, not walls." bit.ly/4iwrskl
