For the first time ever, the most famous American in the world is not the president or a Hollywood icon or tech billionaire—it’s the Pope. This is more than a Catholic triumph; it’s a cultural watershed for the United States. In a society that often equates American influence

What does Pope Leo mean in "Dilexi te" when he speaks about "structural causes of poverty," "structural sin" and "social sin"? It's about asking why people are poor. And it's all part of Catholic social teaching.

It’s funny how so many on the right-wing are now in favor of the separation of church and state and taxing the Catholic Church.

For the fourth time in eight days, Pope Leo has taken direct aim at Trump's abuse of migrants. In a letter sent to Catholic Charities USA, he calls immigrants to America “witnesses of hope” and encourages Catholics to do all we can to welcome them.

Pope Leo just released his first major document — and it’s a direct challenge to Trump’s America. He defends migrants, rebukes walls, lifts up the poor, and reminds us: mercy is not weakness. It’s the heart of faith.

So it wasn't in the service of the truth — it was about using sophistry to win a debate?
I wanted to cancel this debate, because it was right after Charlie died and the day before his memorial. But then I remembered that this was the last real conversation CK and I had. He was such a good friend. I took your advice, Charlie. Thanks for everything.

MAGA is melting down after Pope Leo’s first major document called on Christians to defend the dignity of migrants and the poor. We reject the attacks. We stand with Pope Leo.

The biggest fracture on the American right is between Catholics wary of Israel and Protestants and Jews who see unwavering support for Israel as a moral duty. It explains Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes (Catholics) vs. Ted Cruz, Ben Shapiro, and Josh Hammer.
Megyn Kelly has never been afraid to call BS -- until now She won't call out the worst voices, dismisses real issues with Tucker by claiming she doesn't watch his show, and excuses Candace because she is a "young mother" At some point Megyn's ignorance becomes willful

I think it's underappreciated that Pope Leo released his first apostolic exhortation on the Feast of St. John Henry Newman, who he's named a doctor of the Church.

What’s happening in Chicago right now should terrify every American. ICE raids, National Guard troops, and fear spreading through schools and immigrant communities—it’s not law enforcement, it’s fascism in real time. My latest rant on Endless Urgency ⬇️

In unequivocal terms, the pope argues that one cannot claim to follow Christ while shutting out the vulnerable — a direct challenge to anti-immigration policies rooted in fear.

"There is no shortage of theories attempting to justify the present state of affairs or to explain that economic thinking requires us to wait for invisible market forces to resolve everything...the poor are promised only a few “drops” that trickle down, until the next global

Okay, here’s my unity proposal, fellow Catholics: let Leo keep speaking out prophetically on migrants and the poor, but allow a more liberalized practice of the Traditional Latin Mass. Then we can all hold hands (not during Pater Noster) and sing Kumbaya.
