Welcome back! How were the trains and / or subways??

This is very well done. Makes me wonder about how Catholic intellectual life in America, broadly conceived, can engage more intentionally in 'core theology.' Journalism has a role, as do the arts, criticism, etc.

You’ve heard me say it before: the only thing New Yorkers hate more than a politician they disagree with is one they can’t trust.

And you can’t trust a word Andrew Cuomo says.

Somehow, I hadn’t realized you’d also written Safety Not Guaranteed until about midway through the show.

Saw that in Brooklyn last fall, equally amazing.

Thanks for sharing your gifts last night! It was the concert I didn’t know I needed.

Thanks for considering! And of course it needn't be the "final word" on the subject—we hope such a piece could inspire other Catholic theologians / thinkers / religious to write up their responses to authoritarianism, too.

Feel free to DM or email!

Might you be interested in writing this up for @commonweal.bsky.social ? We editors—and we suspect many of our readers—would find it very nourishing
