@JJ_McCullough When he tells that story, you can still hear the hurt (and some betrayal) in his voice.

[C Garza @cegarza]

@JJ_McCullough This is along the same lines as I have observed. The Catholic Church that many average people experienced 40+ years ago is just not the same church as today. The pain that many older people experienced was so great that it is still an impediment to full communion.

@JJ_McCullough A much less malicious example would be my stepfather, who grew up in a very bad part of town. His family attended the same Catholic school, at very low or zero tuition rates, for generations. He had to be pulled from that school at second grade because they started charging.

@BrilliantMaps So this isn't counting Roman or Ottoman (?) control?

Donald Trump just attacked the Pope because he simply asked for Peace.

Trump called Pope Leo XIV “weak” for opposing a war with at this point is baffling, for caring about innocent civilians in Iran - the same civilians that Trump once supported. For caring about American troops who God bless may end up on Iranian soil soon.

He even said: “If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.” Let that sink in. The man who can not name a Bible verse is now telling the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics how to be Pope.

Pope Leo XIV - the first American Pope - stood at Easter Mass and said: choose peace, not war. Not domination. Dialogue.

Trump’s response was to call him weak, mock his election, and brag about himself.

One man speaks for the poor, the innocent, and the dignity of every human life. The other speaks only for himself.

@DouthatNYT Thank you for this episode. It was amazing.

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short.

Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life.

The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance.

He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

@sunnyright Similar here in Houston. I shivered a little bit as I walked on bone dry concrete into my local grocery store. May need to take some sick time off.

@CatholicVote Wait, what? "Abortion is a tragedy" is classic '90s Clinton language. Was/is Bill Clinton pro-life?
