Many annulment cases are connected to domestic violence or other forms of abuse. And the process can be difficult and time consuming. Is it time for the church to reconsider how it looks at annulments—especially for those who have experienced abuse?

today the US government is transferring sacred Apache land to a mining corporation. I spoke to some folks who have been fighting this for years; still praying for a miracle
Oak Flat is an irreplaceable sacred site for the Apache. It’s where their creation story takes place and where many sacred ceremonies are held. Today, though, the site is at risk of being destroyed and turned into a copper mine.

"There is no greater summary of the Francis papacy than that one word, repeated three times for emphasis: Todos. Todos. Todos."
Francis, the Pope for Everyone
In an era of creeping exclusivity and inequality, his vision for the church was radically simple: everyone belongs.

JD Vance last month on the left, vs. Pope Francis today on the right.
![6. Christians know very well that it is only by affirming the infinite dignity of all that our own identity as persons and as communities reaches its maturity. Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups. In other words: the human person is not a mere individual, relatively expansive, with some philanthropic feelings! The human person is a subject with dignity who, through the constitutive relationship with all, especially with the poorest, can gradually mature in his identity and vocation. The trueordo amoristhat must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan” (cf.Lk10:25-37), that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.[3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wyylw3fkelfztdgh3c3u3svw/bafkreiauhuolfyg2p6ykkucstokjrdwteu4cez4bbjbe6g5ctewv26cw7e@jpeg)
