A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:

"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.

Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."

But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.

Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."

Happy Halloween (and All Saints' and All Souls' Days)!

Today’s Captain of the Match is Peyton Brooks ©

Peyton is a Brooklyn resident and captain of Hot To Go(al) FC, where he primarily plays as a central midfielder. He co-founded HTGFC in 2024 alongside his now-wife and close friends, and has since competed with the club in several leagues across the borough. For Peyton, the team has been a way to connect with both old and new friends while continuing to play a sport that has always been an important part of his life.

I invite all the faithful to take part in a day of fasting and prayer on August 22, imploring the Lord to grant us peace and justice, and to wipe away the tears of those who suffer because of ongoing armed conflicts. May Mary, Queen of Peace, intercede so that peoples may find the path of peace.

Shout out to the Pezzullo Family (‘83, ‘12, ‘16)- a “Closest to the Pin” sponsor at the 7th Annual #PatriotFamily Golf Outing. James is the pioneer behind @townshipscores and now the family is giving back in this new way. Thank you for your support! #PatriotPride!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Christ's peace is not the silence of the tomb after a conflict, and it is not the result of subjugation. Peace is a gift that gazes at others and renews their lives. Let us pray for this peace, which is reconciliation, forgiveness, and courage to turn the page and start again.

Art just became accessible (I literally just wanted to see myself as a super saiyan)

This is a joke but pink and green alternate jerseys would be magnificent

[Syracuse University @SyracuseU]

Big news! Starting today, we're going back to our roots: light pink and pea green! 💗💚

I just don’t feel like watching the Super Bowl if that’s not a first down

This is Luka Doncic’s LeBron 2007 year. Long and successful career ahead of him. I’m glad Boston won, but I almost wish they had reversed the call on his sixth foul - people will rush to put an asterisk on this game on account of that

@madeformarch A little unfair to compare, no? There are no (or very few, anyway) cupcakes in the NBA, it’s just harder to dominate. Phil Jackson’s NBA win% is worse than Billy Donovan’s NCAA win%. I think NCAA tourney win% vs. NBA playoffs win% would be a more apt comparison.

[James Pezzullo @JamesPezzullo]

Nobody’s saying the Mavs are going to be as easy to beat as the Pacers. But Vegas doesn’t have Boston at -220 because they have the better seed

[James Pezzullo @JamesPezzullo]

Listening to @TheAthleticNBA you would think that the Celtics are heavy underdogs in the finals because … uh… they didn’t struggle hard enough to win the East, or something
