the College Theological Society of the students at Trinity College Dublin is really great (and not because they invited me to speak)

Opinion: Christians tolerated Trump because they thought he would end abortion. They were wrong

The list of anti-Christian statements and actions by Donald Trump and JD Vance is long

always grateful for cardinal McElroy's blurb

Massimo Faggioli @massimofaggioli.bsky.social · 4d

the SSPX is trying to force the Vatican to renegotiate Vatican II (this is not new) and to (re)open within Catholicism a debate on the theological orthodoxy of the Pope who died a few months ago (this is kind of new). And they think they can count on a fifth column inside.

questa roba “figli alla patria” va capita perché e’ al centro della biopolitica del trumpismo ma anche del trumpismo dei semi-pentiti alla Douthat che avra’ vita lunga in America

Faced with Trump, Pope Leo opts for indirect diplomacy

Faced with a highly polarised US political landscape, Leo XIV, the first American pope, has opted for discreet and indirect criticism while also keeping channels of communication open.

fatte TUTTE le dovute differenze: le speranze messianiche circa le elezioni di medio termine del novembre 2026 per riportare la democrazia negli USA mi ricordano quelli che dicevano che sarebbe bastato tenere le elezioni in Iraq dopo Saddam Hussein

NYT - A day before six career federal prosecutors resigned in protest over DoJ's handling of the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, lawyers in the office had a conversation with Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol field leader, that left them deeply unsettled. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/us...

Oggi con tutti questi assignments, projects, assessments etc. gli studenti non sanno più studiare, almeno molti di quelli che ho visto negli ultimi due decenni. Non so come sia la situazione in Italia adesso.

Massimo Faggioli @massimofaggioli.bsky.social · 12d

gli studenti non sanno più prepararsi per un esame tipo "ecco un libro (due, o tre, quattro libri) di 500 pagine; leggilo e studialo e cerca di ricordare più cose possibili perchè potrebbero chiederti tutto". I miei esami erano tutti così.

Pope Leo XIV’s Wednesday catecheses on the documents of the Second Vatican Council are like a remedial course (quote from a friend). I think we need that.

Massimo Faggioli @massimofaggioli.bsky.social · 12d

ieri Papa Leone XIV dal suo account su X ha richiamato la posizione della chiesa contro l'antisemitismo. Alcuni commenti, specialmente sotto la versione in inglese, sono allucinanti.

J.D. Vance’s ‘softer tone’ in Minneapolis was just more trolling. The VP took no concrete steps to “turn down the temperature” during his Thursday visit. He laughed at ICE protesters on Newsmax, saying they just love “sex offender criminal aliens.”

esperienza personale: rispetto a quello che sta succedendo in America, le persone che hanno di più da dire sui social media si censurano (spesso per buoni motivi) più di quanto non (si) stiano censurando i mass media.

I wrote a response to the article of Mary McAleese in "The Irish Times" in which she stated that baptising babies is a violation of their human rights.
