@tomcolicchio So glad that’s the case in the east end. I’m in a red area of Cape Cod where there are again (or still, actually) Trump signs around. But fewer than last time. There are a fair few R Kennedy signs though. Yikes. Keep doing your thing, Chef!!
All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception:
John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker
So much for the party of "freedom."
@mco858 @TR_Fordham I appreciate your relicyyto accept the fact that L’Arche was started as a cover. It was and is documented as such. L’Arche did much good and still does, and will keep doing so. JV’s words and actions however were grounded in a lie. L’Arche is god despite him not because of him.
I'm not sure I'm up to 900 pages of mystical-sexual 1950s practices just now so I'm very grateful for this Sojourners article on the Vanier case. https://t.co/k85w0Efxgy
So, in our context: as we keep stressing, Jesuit/universities are hardly *uniquely* responsible for clergy sexual abuse. But we have resources and an ethos which OUGHT TO compel us to try to keep growing and pushing. AMDG, etc.
Because sexual abuse is about structures of power rather than about a few bad people, it is everyone's problem b/c we are all part of the structure. So go beyond! Have the uncomfortable conversation! Tell your institution's story and own our complicity!
With the report out tomorrow, today's highlight is from the recs for Jesuit university admin. It has to do with "magis" -- the Ignatian term described by Patrick Hyland last year as "a desire to progress, trusting that this growth is the way through any crisis we have in life."
"The request for a blessing may contain a request for recognition addressed to the community or institution. It takes on a dimension of an appeal, a protest, or even a claim. One asks God for what one has not been able to obtain from the Church."

@caityweaver I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a mom is just impossible. And I’m also sorry your wonderful remembrance has been exploited. What a lousy thing to do. Sending condolences and good thoughts to you and your dad.
The video is enormous so it took a while, but last night's plenary is now available online. Thanks to our panelists Karen Terry, Jerry McGlone, Paul Elie, Donna Freitas, and Maka Black Elk. https://t.co/A8zRu4aM3I
