The biggest emotional rollercoaster of my life was rejoicing with my children about Taylor Swift's engagement and then having to tell them that they would not be the flower girls

Pope Leo XIV and the Future of the Roman Catholic Church

Yesterday I was on a panel about Pope Leo XIV, hosted by @icjsbaltimore.bsky.social. It was great to discuss the new pope and speculate wildly with Heather Miller Rubens and @annieselak.bsky.social. You can see the whole discussion here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV2T...

I have recently learned that I picture Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the main female character in all fiction books I read.

I highly recommend this to others.

Pope Leo XIV's first steps as America's first pontiff Annie Selak, Georgetown University professor, and Jesuit School of Theology graduate gives insight on Pope Leo XIV meeting with Vice President JD Vance.

One more time for the people in the back*: Republican and Democrat views do not map onto Catholicism. Pope Leo XIV isn't advancing a Republican agenda by meeting with JD Vance. I explained this on WTVU yesterday morning:

Love being able to lick off the day with @estherc.bsky.social and @jennhatfield.bsky.social talking Mystics on WAMU. I love how Esther is a fan and brings the best energy to her interviews. And of course, Jenn is an all-star sports reporter.

Getting ready to go to mass and hear "Leo our pope" for the first time.

Pope Leo XIV's previously unknown Creole roots are a most American story (RNS) — Census records for Leo's maternal grandparents hint at the complexity of Creole identity and of Black identity in America.

New Orleans genealogist Jari C. Honora became curious about the French-sounding last name “Prevost” soon after Pope Leo XIV’s first address. A look into the pope’s ancestry revealed that many of his maternal ancestors were Creoles of color who lived in New Orleans.

Strong agree. And from his blessings and homilies, he's a beautiful writer and I can't wait.

Open Letter to the Georgetown University Administration re: PTO Changes Please join us in petitioning the university to reevaluate their new staff annual leave policy. Georgetown University’s recent changes to its Paid Time Off (PTO) policy represent a rollback of employ...

I'm mostly all Pope all the time, but I'm taking a quick break to say that staff at Georgetown University are calling the university's changes to PTO "wage theft"

My excitement about Pope Leo XIV came through, maybe even too much, on this TV interview. Here's my quick reaction to our new pope:

You know how we all said we knew something would be different with Pope Francis when he appeared in white and asked us to pray for him?

Well my moment with this new Pope Leo XIV is him praying the Hail Mary and swallowing back tears

Let's talk about the name Leo XIV:

He continues in the vibe of Leo's, like Leo XIII. He notably issued Rerum Novarum, which is the encyclical which became the foundation of Catholic Social teaching!

Born in Chicago. Lived in Peru. Currently in Rome. Prevost is unlike anyone we've seen before as Pope.

The first American pope? This cardinal has the best chance of making history in this conclave It is typically absurd to think of an American as pope. But in this conclave, a Chicago-born Augustinian friar who has spent much of his life outside of the United States is worthy of serious consider...

Info on Prevost

English translation: I announce to you a great joy;
we have a pope:
The most eminent and most reverend lord,
Lord [first name]
Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church [surname]
who has taken the name [papal name].
