Sharing my research on Cardijn, Vatican II, the world... Opposed to freeway construction since 1973. I blame Ivan Illich.
I couldn't let the 60th anniversary of the Vatican II document on lay apostolate, Apostolicam Actuositatem, one in which Cardijn played a key role, pass in silence. Understood properly its message radically transforms the Church's understanding of itself. cardijnresearch.substack.com/p/restarting...

A very big YCW story for the centenary. 20+ French YCW lay leaders, seminarians & priests (plus 1 YCS) to be beatified after Pope Leo recognised their martyrdom by the Nazis. And there are many more in Belgium, e.g. Fernand Tonnet and Paul Garcet. centreinternationalcardijn.org/french-jocis...

We're celebrating the centenary of the YCW. But, as Cardijn often insisted, the movement first began in the parish of Notre Dame at Laeken in 1912. Let's remember the movement pioneers he called "The first worker apostles." cardijnresearch.substack.com/p/the-first-...

Stay Silent and Stay Powerless Against Trump’s Tyranny - Ralph Nader
By Ralph Nader March 14, 2025 There are reasons why influential or knowledgeable Americans are staying silent as the worsening fascist dictatorship of the Trumpsters and Musketeers gets more entrenched by the day.
