BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.
This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Interesting chart in this report surveying people on what they think are the major contributions to the 'housing problem'.
Feels like a failure of the (non-right wing) media, politicians and experts that the measures that would have the most impact are so far below immigration

Looking like a resounding victory for Catherine Connolly.
A huge moment for the united left in Ireland, for the many young people whose energy and optimism fuelled Connolly’s campaign, and a pretty clear rejection of uninspiring government party candidates who couldn’t offer a vision.
