This week on the pod we talked about Pope Leo’s first apostolic exhortation, Dilexi Te.

Some have called the triumph of liberation theology. It’s more complicated than that, but we’ll take the W.

Sometime back in lockdown, I discovered the @themagnificast.bsky.social podcast. It had episodes going aaaallll the way back to 2017, so back I went to the beginning too.
I've listened to a few episodes a week and as of today, I've caught up! 😱
Which is lovely and has left me feeling a bit bereft.

In case you're curious. In the past, Mullally has supported

- LGBTQ+ rights
- Abortion rights
- The ordination of women (duh)
- Described herself as a feminist.

I'll say a big prayer for her future leadership and against her haters.
