JD Vance, any thoughts on today's readings for the 7th Sunday in OT, Cycle C? Hard to square your "ordo amaris" proclamation with the Gospel, especially, isn't it?

Today, the prophet Isaiah reminds us of the despair around the power hungry Uzziah.
In the next weeks, Luke will show Jesus’ concern for the poor and God’s punishment to the rich and those without mercy.
Please speak louder bishops for the poor in this crisis moment @usccbofficial.bsky.social

Happy Black History Month!

America may be facing a SUPER villain, but we are the heroes of our own story.
 
With resilience, grace, and unapologetic power, we rise. No villain can dim our light—our magic is unstoppable. My story is called Unleashing Black Girl Magic: The Superpower Within!

Before we get to 2025, there's one last tax fight we have to win this year: saving the IRS' ability to crack down on rich tax cheats.

The Inflation Reduction Act provided IRS w/$45.6 billion for enforcement. $21.6 billion has already been rescinded thanks to GOP hostage-taking over the debt limit.

This boy and his grandad from 16 years ago. He's aged well. As has Grandpa Steve.
