I have known a number of mothers who were maternal after the pattern of Paul. It takes all sorts?

Lot of parental passion in Paul, surely.

Love Aquinas.

Fear at Chicago church puts in focus US bishops' effort to protect migrants' right to worship Reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents near St. Jerome Catholic Church in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood on Oct. 12 prompted warnings of caution from its pastor, although a spokespe...

"Neighbors have resorted to forming human chains to help Catholic migrants fearful of ICE go to and leave Sunday Mass so they could worship and receive the sacraments." #PrayForAmerica www.ncronline.org/news/fear-ch...

"Remember that you have only one soul; you have only one death to die; you have only one life to live which is short and lived by you alone; and there is but one glory which is eternal. If you remember this, there will be many things about which you will care not at all." #SaintTeresaOfAvila

Kemi Badenoch has still not commented on her MP Gavin Williamson or her party's London mayoral candidate Susan Hall being on the advisory board of Lowe's political movement.

i will die on the hill that the original Nazis were just as silly as our modern versions. Hitler based his plans for the invasion of Russia partly on cowboy novels written by a con-man.

Is there really a religious revival in England? Why I’m sceptical of a new report In Anglican and Catholic churches, average weekly attendance is down about 20% from pre-pandemic levels.

Enjoyed More or Less this a.m. scrutinising church attendance trends in the light of the recent Bible Society report

@stephenkb.bsky.social was sceptical at the time!

Especially David Voas' expert input. I had early sight of his recent Conversation piece: theconversation.com/is-there-rea...

I think it's likely some of the 8 million plus were.

Thought experiment: if I. WW2 the German Catholic hierarchy had withheld communion from Nazis, might the war have ended sooner?

People aren't hiding that they see this bill as a "first step" only (see comments).

Good to be in Lowestoft to celebrate Suffolk Day (part of @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social is in Suffolk) and delighted to be present as Bishop Martin Seeley was presented with the Suffolk Medal.

An apology On May 25 we published an online article “We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays” which included stock photographs and not, as the art...

What happens when a political agenda takes over any semblance of journalistic standards

Telegraph admits its story about private school family not being able to go on five holidays was complete nonsense and not remotely fact-checked

BREAKING: Reports on Orange Mussolini’s parade attendance are in…

200,000 were expected — only 8,647 bothered to showed up. 😂

Meanwhile, everywhere else…👇

Heartbroken by the horrific murder of Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in DC. A young couple, full of promise, targeted and killed outside a Jewish museum. This act of terrorism and vile antisemitism must be condemned without hesitation. We mourn - we demand justice.

Berlin, Friedrichstrasse, 3 August 1960. A rare view of the Checkpoint Charlie location before the Wall. Reposted from yesterday because tag omitted. I post photographs taken on my Berlin visits in the 1950s and 1960s. See my book "Berlin in the Cold War" (Amberley Publ.) #Berlin

Also, some of that list mitigates against the supposedly desired unity with Orthodoxy.

Pope Francis leaves a mixed legacy in wartime Ukraine, overshadowed by historic Vatican-Moscow ties Pope Francis, who passed away on April 21 at 88, leaves behind a legacy as vast and varied as his global influence. Yet in Ukraine, his track record is far from positive. For many Ukrainians, the Pop...

Pope Francis’ comments on Russia’s war against Ukraine often disappointed and frustrated many. I wrote about how they were influenced partly by the Holy See’s long and often troubling history with Moscow, my latest for @kyivindependent.com.

How Pope Francis Helped Inspire the Global Movement Against Climate Change (Gift Article) Francis framed climate change as an urgent spiritual issue and helped push the world to take action.

🧪Pope Francis had a scientific background. He understood the threat to humanity posed by #ClimateChange, and he was not afraid to speak out on the issue.

See some of the most memorable moments from Pope Francis' papacy Pope Francis was a master of making emotional connections. He was, at heart, a pastor to wounded souls. Here are some of the most memorable moments of Pope Francis' papacy.

"God forgives not with a decree, but with a caress." #PopeFrancis

The official White House Twitter account tweeted the following: "Fixed it for you, @NYTimes. Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen — he’s NOT coming back."

The sheer fucking arrogance here is just something else...

"If I, your Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also should wash each other's feet. For I set an example for you, so that you should do now as I have done for you (John 13:14-15)." #HolyThursday #EasterTriduum #LoveEachOther

The entire GOP as it dismantles American democracy on the grounds that it is "fighting antisemitism":

Do you know how many Haggadah supplements have been produced by the American Jewish community about defending the rights of immigrants and refugees over the last 30 years? "Do not oppress the stranger among you" is our whole deal.

For the elimination of any misunderstanding: Al Ahli hospital is a Christian organisation run by the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem. We receive no funding from Hamas and are entirely and totally independent.We are solely focused on saving lives and tending the wounded. Attacking hospitals is wrong.

Today is 80 years since the Nazis executed Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was imprisoned for his part in the plot to assassinate Hitler. His words have never been more relevant and we need his moral clarity and courage more than ever before.

There's enough to be angry about, without bringing in a fake tweet.
