A window pane with this text: "...No one would exchange his country for a foreign land if his own afforded him the means of living a decent and happy life." —Pope Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum (1891), no. 47

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king, are, for all times and all places, the models and protectors of every migrant, alien, and refugee of whatever kind, who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved friends and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil." —Pope Pius XII, Exsul Familia Nazarethana (1962), Apostolic Constitution

"The poverty and misfortune with which immigrants are stricken are yet another reason for coming generously to their aid... It is necessary to guard against the rise of new forms of racism or xenophobic behavior, which attempt to make these brothers and sisters of ours scapegoats for what may be difficult local situations..." John Paul II, World Migration Day (1996)

"Migrants present a particular challenge for me, since I am the pastor of a church without frontiers, a Church which considers herself a mother to all. For this reason, I exhort all countries to a generous openness which, rather than fearing the loss of local identity, will prove capable of creating new forms of cultural synthesis." Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium (2013)

The Catholic Chapel and Center at Yale has added these (and more) quotations from various papal teachings about care and concern for immigrants to the windows outside its main meeting room. This is the kind of catechesis we need more of in the U.S. church.

Dix choses qui durent (ou ont duré) plus longtemps que le gouvernement Lecornu (pour @lesechosfr.bsky.social )

On ne sait pas de quel pays vous parlez, ni par le bandeau sur votre image, ni par votre message, avant d'aller voir l'article.
Ces mises en avant d'articles ici sur BS sont souvent ainsi, un peu imprécises.
(alors que les articles sont très bons !...)

Je crois qu'en cours de culture générale en prison je vais proposer une introduction à la Princesse de Clèves, c'est mon petit clin d'œil perso à #nicolassarkozy 😇

Tellement plein le Q que la seule chose qui soit visible du "catholicisme français" ça soit ces hérétiques trumpisants et pas les paroisses de banlieue, le CCFD, le Châtelard, le Dorothy, le Secours catho, celles et ceux qui aident les pauvres, les malades, les taulards.

Apparently it’s 10 years today since I discovered that adding googly eyes to the tap on a wine box makes it look like Shaun the Sheep.

Love the lil flex when they realise they just became the most famous bird in the world.

Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Moskowitz: Rather than giving a long speech, I feel like I can just use this. So, that’s a fist, an American flag, fire. From now on, when we do things where we agree, I just hold this up.
