Grateful for the opportunity to reflect in @Modernities on how resettling of Afrikaners and the shunning of South Africa makes a mockery of refugee resettlement based on international norms and the claim of genocide.
On #WorldRefugeeDay2025 read Julie Schumacher Cohen's reflections on resistance amongst religious leaders to the Trump administration's policy of admitting Afrikaner's as refugees to the US.

This piece in @commonwealmag on “Catholic Guilt and Gaza” urges Catholics to see how refraining from the struggle for justice for Palestinians bc of guilt over historic Christian antisemitism has led to abandoning the Palestinian people to such grievous effect.
.@julie_s_c: Insofar as Catholic neglect of the plight of the Palestinians stems from guilt about the Holocaust, it’s long past time to rethink how this guilt is addressed.

Glad to share @USCatholic my reflection on @Pontifex Francis' legacy on Palestine/Israel, consistently calling for a Gaza ceasefire, release of Israeli hostages and bringing attention to the suffering and dignity of Palestinians as part of his advocacy for justice and peace.
Pope Francis regularly showed closeness to both Palestinians and Israelis, and made it clear that the Holy Land would never be whole—for the three faiths and the two peoples—until Palestinians are free. May we all take up this important and sacred work.

It isn’t the cuteness, the nationality, the religion, the hair or skin color of a child that makes them innocent but rather just being a child.

On the 35th anniversary of the death of the UCA Jesuit martyrs, let's recall the legacy of Fr Ignacio Ellacuria. In 1982 he called for a more just and informed US policy toward El Salvador; today we must push for a change in US policy on Palestine.
