Pope Leo is done with Pete Hegseth’s BS.

Pope Leo: You Can’t Be Pro-Life and Mistreat Migrants In his Jubilee homily, Leo demanded Catholics open arms to immigrants and reject MAGA’s cold indifference.

In his homily today, Leo demanded Christians open their arms to immigrants and reject MAGA’s cold indifference.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

How we photographed ICE agents arresting people in the Loop and River North And 30 other great photos from this week in news.

"Photojournalists provide an important public service in a universal language," says Sun-Times photo desk editor Ashlee Rezin. "This belief keeps me going through the hard days." trib.al/ASxzWnM

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

Congrats, Trump supporters, you’ve owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, inexpensive groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.

The Sound of Music is on TCM. I can't say I've sat and watched in at least a decade, but it's one of those movies that's inscribed in my DNA at this point and I'm finding its simple pleasures soothing tonight. The "Do Re Mi" sequence is legitimately one of the most beautifully filmed of any musical

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall.
You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed.

Guns are the leading cause of death for children and teens in America.

And yet they are trying to restrict access to Tylenol, but not to guns.

Empathy isn’t sinful or weak, it is a core value of Christianity and a foundational pillar of democracy.

That’s why authoritarians are so intent on demonizing it.

It Was ‘Good,’ Not Perfect - Christianity Today The language of creation can reframe the way we view people with disabilities in the church.

“We are created not to be whole alone but to become whole together,” writes John Swinton.

Yesterday, I heard directly from some of Passaic’s pastors about the concerns their communities face and how we can work to deliver real results. Truly grateful to Mayor Lora for bringing this group together and for his steadfast leadership.
