Vorige week voegde paus Leo XIV een speciale ‘ecologische mis’ aan de officiële katholieke liturgie toe. Woensdag vierde hij die gloednieuwe mis in de tuinen van zijn vakantieverblijf. ‘We moeten bidden voor de ecologische bekering van zoveel mensen, binnen en buiten de kerk.’

It's always a delight to talk with Eugene Duffy, especially when the topic is the #HolySpirit.

Belangrijke klacht van Pieter Derks: waarom gaat het steeds weer alleen over asielzoekers? In plaats vanover andere belangrijke problemen? En waarom werken we niet aan echte oplossingen.
Maar vooral, en opnieuw, er zijn echt andere grote problemen.

Kolommetje over het onwaarschijnlijke verhaal dat maakte dat ik aan @bostoncollege.bsky.social terecht kwam en daar voorlopig mijn leven vervolg.
Met een treffende titel van de editor.

Nice to talk about #Synodality and its theological roots with Avril Baigent of the #SchoolForSynodality.
On the importance of thanking one another, on what theological reimaginations are, and on dealing with frustrations on, e.g., the slow inclusion of women.

The U.S. Catholic Book Club has chosen 'The Future of Synodality: How We Move Forward from Here' @litpress.bsky.social as the feature title for August 2025.
This co-edited book is the latest publication by our incoming colleague @josmoonssj.bsky.social
Split-image with the text “TO BEE or NOT TO BEE.” The left side shows a vibrant wildflower meadow with a bee on a daisy, symbolising biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem. The right side shows a dry, barren landscape with dead trees and no visible wildlife, representing environmental degradation. An EU flag appears in the bottom right corner.
Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝
Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive.
Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.
Saturday morning cycling. The Niagara Falls were a tad too far, so I settled for the Charlton Falls 🙂.
With as a treat some Goosanders (Grote Zaagbek).

How to pray for an old Pope who has done all sorts of good work, and who struggles to recover?
Praying for healing, as many are doing, is certainly appropriate.
I wonder, is it appropriate as well to pray that he may let go and rest in peace?

De #veertigdagentijd is natuurlijk óók een goede tijd om meer synodaal te worden.
Hier vier suggesties, dankzij een gesprek met @laetitiavanderlans.bsky.social.

The books have arrived!
And so, too, has the guitar, the sailing gear, and the summer clothes.
Things feel promising.

Deo gratias - and the SJ brothers, too - for two truly refreshing days of skiing, full of fraternal care (I was the slowest skier, so they waited for me almost all the time), great conversation, and lots of joy and laughter, not to mention the natural beauty

Three graces in one day at #fairfield Jesuit community:
1) visiting the see;
2) going there by bike;
3) chatting with the community about #Synodality.
(And grace 4 was meeting the novice currently on a mission here; novices are holy people.)
Can you imagine if Barron advocated for the poor who will suffer throughout the world as passionately as he railed against feminism in "Star Wars"? www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

Strong piece in @ncronline.bsky.social on what's going on in the US Church — and on what's going *wrong*.
With a sigh of relief, here's the 5th and final edition of the Academic Bibliography 2013-2024 on #Synodality.
Beautiful to witness a growing engagement with synodality; we still need more of that, especially on its #practice.
Accessible for free at www.pastoralis.org or at my #academia.
Now Available! From Jos Moons, SJ and Kristin Colberg explore the historical and theological roots of a synodal church and where the path of a new, inclusive listening church leads.

Breaking: Pope sends letter to US bishops decrying mass deportation and rejecting "any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality." The true "ordo amoris," he says, is the ethos of the Good Samaritan.

Happy with the new book no #synodality, @litpress.bsky.social.
Thanks @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social for the endorsement: "Participating in the synod in Rome was a deeply consoling experience ... This superb new book is a wonderful resource to help people to begin, and continue, the synodal journey."
New: We are very grateful at Outreach for this new essay by Sister Nathalie Becquart, an undersecretary for the Synod of Bishops, on how synodality is a path towards inclusion--including for LGBTQ people. outreach.faith/2025/02/sr-n...

Preaching the gospel in a foreign land - very different from Jesus, who preached in his home town 🙂.
On the importance of being trusted; when Jesus is trusted, when we are trusted, we can do great (normal) things.
Let's give thanks for people who trust us...
Next stage in the integration: a bike.
(With some #publicity for @bcstm.bsky.social's Simboli Hall :-), where I do my teaching and research, and for the Boston winter weather, with its lovely sun.)
Very helpful article detailing behavior patterns in a #synod spirit over against #coverup, helpfully put into a figure
( #Synodality came about for a reasons.)
