Vance pretends to be ignorant about basic history ("all wars end in negotiation") and lies about things we all witnessed a week ago ("Ru made serious concessions") to promote Ukr surrender. One can hold his political position for wtv utilitarian reasons but pushing it w such lies is moral turpitude.

In the final years of Francis's papacy, Robert Prevost became one of the pontiff's closest collaborators. What clues does their bond hold about Leo's pontificate?

Cardinal Re’s masterpiece homily at Francis’ funeral was largely a promotion of the “Francis Style.” As these days move on toward conclave, Re has given the College its first set of marching orders in the run up to a papal election. Re’s term as Dean was renewed by Francis…for a specific reason.
