In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

The US Conference of Catholic bishops, as well as individual bishops, priests and deacons, sisters and brothers, and lay men and women from around the world (including myself for two years in East Africa), help migrants and refugees not because the migrants and refugees are Catholics...

Nations have the right to protect their borders, broadly speaking. But this does not absolve the Christians within those borders from doing all they can to help migrants and refugees. And telling them, “Go home!” is not what Jesus had in mind.

Caring for migrants and refugees is not optional for Catholics.
Jesus calls us to care for those in need—regardless of national boundaries.

Greenland, Panama, Canada. The buffoon cannot keep his damn mouth shut. I sincerely hope that his enablers out there will not have to regret their idiotic conduct.

I ended up watching ‘Conclave’. It was disappointing. Very much so.

Good job Mr President on commuting the death penalty for 37 out of 40 federal prisoners awaiting execution. It is not clear why not 40/40. We must abolish the death sentence!
