Fr Louis J. Twomey, SJ, whose biography I'm writing, had a secret life ... as an inspiration for a character in a Walker Percy novel! I write on how the #Jesuit, with characters in works by Graham Greene & Flannery O'Connor, became fuel for Percy's genius: matterstwomey.substack.com/p/the-last-g...

Habermas on why so many countries are seeing the rise of right wing, authoritarian populism.
In many cases, shortsighted opportunism of 'the left' is driving frustrated voters to 'the right'.

To the question about why he had not prayed as “visibly” as his predecessors had, Leo said: “Who said I didn’t pray? They said I didn’t, but I already explained on the plane—I mentioned a book (‘The Practice of the Presence of God’ by Brother Lawrence)—and perhaps I am praying even now.”
