Pope Leo: “I am pleased to announce that on November 1, during the Jubilee of the World of Education, I will confer the title of Doctor of the Church on Saint John Henry Newman, who contributed decisively to the renewal of theology and to the understanding of the development of Christian doctrine.”

Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder?

“Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”

Score on Libby! I was able to "skip the line" on a book hold where I was #444. Feeling like I won the lottery. 😄

Pope Leo: “Dear brothers and sisters, the Church and the world do not need people who fulfill their religious duties as if the faith were merely an external label. We need laborers who are eager to work in the mission field, loving disciples who bear witness to the Kingdom of God in all places.”

The "Trump as Pope" image is offensive to Catholics, but more offensive to Catholics should be Trump's treatment of the poor, the marginalized, and the migrants that Jesus loved so much.

Pope Francis today made a special appeal for those on death row in the United States, praying that their sentence can be "commuted, changed".

Francis has revised Catholic teaching to say the death penalty is "inadmissible" and should be abolished.

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done’” (C.S. Lewis). This principle substantially holds in this life as well.
