Asylum seekers will sleep rough in Dublin tonight https://t.co/roR5UdWaNI

Surely this is the time when @CatholicBishops should be talking to @ACPInIreland about flinging open the doors & recommissioning space in empty churches into shelter - or is there no room at the inn?

I just asked my TDs to ensure that Ireland pushes for a strong EU law against corporate abuse of human rights and the environment. Ireland should strengthen this law, not weaken it @daracalleary. Please take action here https://t.co/XNoCPOMQBy @trocaire

This year I'm planning to tweet a 'Path Through Advent with St Benedict'. I hope to post on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I'm looking forward to walking with anyone who wants to make the journey.

USPG warmly congratulates the Most Revd Marinez Bassotto on her election as Bishop Primaz of the Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil (IEAB). The first women Archbishop in Latin America - we pray for her as she takes up her new responsibilities and give thanks for her ministry.

Pope Francis recommended Fr. James Martin’s book “Learning to Pray” to Vatican communicators, Nov. 12. “Read it bec it will teach you to pray”, he said. He praised the American Jesuit as “a man of values”+”a communicator who knows how to teach the way to communicate with God”

BREAKING - Vatican's first auditor general and deputy, both appointed in 2015 and fired two years later, suing Holy See for 9.3 million euros ($9.25 million) in damages, alleging they were sacked after discovering financial irregularities. Story posted soon.

@gerryorome For everyone called, male, female or gender neutral?
I agree on the importance of formation but am seeing less and less the need for ordination - especially if that is thought in someway to make you ‘more than’ others with gifts to offer

[BeBetterChurchNow @BetterChurchNow]

@ReyannaRice @austeni @Synod_va But they have been saying that it’s not at all about what happens in 23/24 but about the fruits being produced by journeying through the process - evidence of which is already there they say. I guess it depends on what your perspective is on necessary reform. #BeBetterChurchNow
