RIP: Bishop Thomas Gumbleton. A spirited and moving funeral Mass, presided over by Cardinal Joseph Tobin, a Detroit native. And animated by the music of the city's Black Catholic community.

Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the papal nuncio to the United States, has been less than successful in helping Pope Francis name bishops that embrace the priorities of his pontificate

Bishop Thomas Gumbleton was arrested protesting war and clashed with fellow bishops by supporting gay marriage and the ordination of women and championing victims of sex abuse by priests. nyti.ms/3JdCRWR

Father Marko Rupnik is listed as a Jesuit and an adviser to the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in the 2024 Annuario Pontificio, the Vatican yearbook. He was expelled from the Jesuits in June 2023 and is accused of abusing some two dozen people.

This is (unfortunately) a really helpful video to recognize when a man isn’t comprehending another’s discomfort. Look how he grabs her with both hands but she keeps her free hand away from him, how she keeps her body open while he closes in. If you see this, do something.

Peter Higgs, the 2013 Nobel laureate in physics who predicted the existence of a fundamental building block of a matter often called the 'God particle', has died at age 94.

This guy is and always has been such a creep. A powerful creep like many men in New York politics he uplifted.

Before you get bothered, I was raised catholic.

Bishop Thomas Gumbleton listened, and once he had heard something he could not unhear it. That is why he kept returning to the battle zones, the picket lines and the prisons, writes Robert Ellsberg. bit.ly/43T3KJc

I'm usually loathe2 post direct criticisms of individuals, but this is absolutely grim2 watch. Either the Cardinal's somehow unaware of what he's doing (which is bad), or he *is* aware but doing it anyway (which is worse). Please, don't force physical contact on people like that.

🚩This is not okay. The fact that he is doing this on camera is also a flex.

SHAME on the hapless and hopeless US Catholic bishops and their Military chaplain president @usccb Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA who, with few exceptions, have disgracefully ignored the death of Tom Gumbleton, one their most gentle, humble, prophetic and Christ-like confreres. SHAME!

Absolutely beautiful. And one week after his death, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has uttered not one word, published not a single acknowledgment of their most senior member's death.

This was kind of difficult to watch. Poor sister Mary Juan

Between this event, thepussy grabbing thing, and other ignorant, infantile, insulting things, you would think that no one would want to support him... but yet, they do.

Many who suffered unwanted sexual contact from priests told themselves that the priest was just 'overly affectionate' or 'doesn't mean any harm.'

Asked about how he would advise #Catholics to vote in 2024, El Paso’s Bishop Mark J. Seitz emphasizes that not only does a political candidate’s policy positions matter, but also their personal character.
