My take on the significance of the Coalition breaking up. The most important outcome in an already historic election.

Labor’s historic election victory continues to reshape Australian politics (and its opposition)
For the first time in almost forty years, Australia’s National Party will not form a coalition agreement with the Liberal Party, says a University of Melbourne expert.

Liberals win elections when we are true to liberal values. When we are bold and ambitious, and have a plan and a vision for this country.

Indigenous reconciliation is about more than a relationship with natural resources.

Pierre Poilievre and a Conservative government will backtrack this very important relationship Canada has with our Indigenous peoples. We can’t let that happen. 1/2

We haven't spoken enough about sectors in rural Canada - mining, energy, agriculture and forestry.

Nous n'avons pas assez parlé des secteurs dans les régions canadiennes, comme les mines, l'énergie, l'agriculture et le secteur forestier.

The way we're going to bring young people back to the party is not being conservative-light but having bold ideas for this country.

On va ramener les jeunes au parti, non pas en étant des conservateurs light, mais en proposant des idées audacieuses pour notre pays.

What a wonderful thread. A great elucidation on how the JPII-Benedict XVI papacies altered how Catholics think--and not for the better.
I've digested this a bit now and while I'll resist a point by point rebuttal, let me make a few observations.

Something I say often in class—and I claim a privilege to say this as a professor—is that 35yrs of back-to-back professor-popes was BAD for the...

I’m in a bit of @samuelmoyn.bsky.social kick right now. His Christian Human Rights book is particularly of interest. The focus on dignity is just as salient today as it was in the 1940s.

Couldn’t agree more with this review of Conclave. Such a brilliant film. The theme of doubt resonated so much.
Conclave really is exquisite btw. I was gripped from the opening second to the last frame. The acting is uniformly excellent, but Ralph Feinnes is something else. Just an impeccable, flawless performance.

I have a certain fascination for postliberalism, especially the fact that many of the thinkers profess themselves to be Catholics. I am grateful to @commonweal.bsky.social for this piece.

A truly Christian postliberalism would imagine and enact an alternative modernity with a different standard of progress.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
