Context: I am a tour guide at a former Roman fortress and i show people some ancient column bases. There’s a big hole in one of them and this kid reached in the hole and ate the bits of sand inside

In Magna Carta Address, Pope Leo Calls for a Church That Washes Feet, Not Wields Power β€œLet us dream of a Church that heals, not judges,” Pope Leo pleads in a sweeping homily that laid out the blueprint for his papacy.

In what may be the defining homily of his pontificate, Pope Leo made clear today the Church he wants to lead β€” one grounded in radical humility, unity, and service to humanity.

Pope Leo: Usury β€˜corrupts the human heart’ and enslaves the poor - Vatican News Pope Leo XIV condemns usury as a grave sin that enslaves the poor and corrupts the human heart, he calls for a renewed commitment to justice and mercy ...

β€œHow far from God,” the Pope exclaimed, β€œis the attitude of those who crush people until they become slaves! Usury is not merely an accounting issueβ€”it is a grave sin that can destroy families, consume the mind and heart, and even lead people to despair or suicide”

The image is a comic strip featuring a meeting about "anti-homeless architecture." In the first panel, a person at the head of a table asks for ideas. The second panel shows three people offering suggestions. Two of them suggest "armrests on benches" and "spikes everywhere," while the third person suggests "houses?" In the third panel, the person who suggested "houses" is shown being thrown out of a window

In John 6:15, Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 people and the crowd's so impressed they try to seize Jesus and make him their "king," by force.

But Jesus "withdrew again to a mountain by himself" to avoid their attempt, bc he was not about earthly power.

Jesus = "No Kings."
