RIP Alisdair MacIntyre. He said he didn't like emails so wouldn't respond if he wrote him, but he always wrote back. I asked him in '09 for his views on hosting Obama as commencement speaker and giving him an honorary degree. A few memories from his class that stand out... (1/x)

It was great to have @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social on the AMDG pod to discuss his time in Rome covering Pope Francis' funeral, the conclave and the first moments of Pope Leo XIV's pontificate. He shared some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories. open.spotify.com/episode/2sXy...

Today's #AMDG pod: @catholicrelief.bsky.social Exec VP Bill O'Keefe on how the Trump administration's foreign aid cuts have harmed the people CRS serves. It was so informative and so sad. I think it's the first long-form interview from a CRS exec since the cuts. open.spotify.com/episode/5Kys...

Since we're talking about Popes and migration, did you know the Pope included deportation on a list of intrinsic evils?
This excerpt isn't by Pope Francis, though -- It's Saint John Paul II quoting Gaudium et Spes. www.vatican.va/content/john...
