Why did famously clean comedian @JimGaffigan go off on Trump on Twitter? What was @jeanniegaffigan thinking when she saw this? Jeannie discusses this and much more on the latest #WholeLifeRising https://t.co/t70xRdW2rh
Commentary from @RGC3: A pernicious competing vision has challenged civic nationalism throughout U.S. history. It is an ethnic nationalism that is dedicated to the preservation and strengthening of white supremacy. https://t.co/6UFUHkMcSS
Really thank you @mfjlewis for @Where_Peter_is & @RGC3@MillennialJourn for the story. You have kept a lot of us sane when it's so clear that @Pontifex is leading with Gospel truth & the haters prefer lies, white supremacy & power. Keep going.

On #MLKDay, we remember Dr. King and his extraordinary contribution to our country. Today is also the 10th anniversary of Sarge Shriver’s death. These two great Americans fought for racial justice and a stronger democracy, inspired by a belief in the worth of every single person.
+@BpStowe: "There are networks like @EWTN that only teach about abortion that do not present an entire view of the sanctity of human life and have even been hostile towards the teachings of Pope Francis."
"The idea that every individual is equal in the eyes of God or that every person is made in the image of God—that’s powerful. It’s an underpinning for basic conceptions of human rights, whether civil and political rights or social and economic well-being" @SamanthaJPower
I am praying for the United States of America, shaken by the recent attack on Congress. I pray for those who lost their life. Violence is always self-destructive. I urge everyone to promote a culture of encounter and of care to construct the common good.
What’s happening in the US Capitol is an act of terror. These people are interfering with a peaceful transition of power because they don’t like the result & have been fed a steady diet of lies & fear. This is the consequence of a president only interested in loyalty to himself.
Every other person is my brother or my sister. In everyone, I see reflected the face of God, and in those who suffer, I see the Lord pleading for my help. I see him in the sick, the poor, the unemployed, the marginalized, the migrant and the refugee.
We too can change evil into good each day. Loving actions change history: even the ones that are small, hidden, everyday. For God guides history through the humble courage of those who pray, love and forgive.
Society is enriched by the dialogue between science and faith, which opens up new horizons for thought. The light of faith needs to enlighten scientific advances so that they respect the centrality of the human person. #WorldScienceDay
Tenderness is love that draws near and becomes real. A movement that starts from our heart and reaches the eyes, the ears and the hands. Tenderness is the path of choice for the strongest, most courageous men and women. #FratelliTutti
"From the policy’s earliest days in a five-month test along the border in Texas, Justice Department officials understood — and encouraged — the separation of children as an expected part of the desire to prosecute all undocumented border crossers."
