BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing slavery and for failing to condemn it for centuries. https://t.co/cQz8oU5Wkh

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Faith does not separate the spiritual from the social. It gives Christians the strength to interact with the world and to respond to the needs of others, especially the weakest. What is needed for the salvation of a community is a communal commitment, which integrates the spiritual and moral dimensions of the Gospel in the heart of local institutions and structures, making them instruments for the common good, not places of conflict, self-interest, or sterile struggles. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

Pope Leo XIV at the Stations of the Cross: "Every person in authority will have to answer to God for the way they exercise their power." Jesus says. "Whatever you do to another human being, especially to the small and vulnerable, you do unto me. And it is to me that you will one day give an account."

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.

We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

I agree with what Pope Leo XIV stated today in his first Easter speech:

WORTH REPEATING:

Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants and Florida has 1.2M.

Minnesota has 130,000.

Don't let anyone tell you this is about immigration.

It never was.

Trump lost MN three times. That is what THIS is about, and it’s impeachable.

“We see walls rising again, between nations, between religions, even between neighbors. The noise of conflict, the wounds of poverty, and the cry of the Earth remind us how fragile our human family remains.

“Many have grown weary of promises. Many have forgotten how to hope.

“As religious leaders, guided by the wisdom of our respected traditions, we share a sacred responsibility: to help our people to break free from the chains of prejudice, anger, and hatred.

“To help them rise above egoism and self-centredness. To help them overcome the greed that destroys both the human spirit and the Earth.

“In this way, we can lead our people to become prophets of our time, voices that denounce violence and injustice, heal division, and proclaim peace for all our brothers and sisters.” — Pope Leo XIV

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The world needs more than ever the powerful witness of men and women of all religions living together in unity, friendship and cooperation. In this true way, we can work jointly to achieve the peace, justice and reconciliation so desperately needed today. May we never lose hope that a new world without division is possible. #GeneralAudience

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

The threats made against HBCUs cannot be swept aside.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI must act swiftly to fully investigate these threats and pursue the appropriate legal action against those responsible.
