[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Pakistan just said it directly.

The ceasefire included Lebanon.

Not implied. Not assumed. Not lost in translation.

Included.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister put it in the announcement. In writing. With U.S. involvement.

And now Israel is bombing Beirut. And Vance calls it a “reasonable misunderstanding.”

And Netanyahu says Lebanon was never part of the deal.

Someone is lying.

Only the Americans could wage such horror while still believing themselves uniquely aggrieved.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

American Protestantism, in the words of one early American Protestant, an "Illiterate enthusiasm."

Trump’s zero-sum belligerence has shattered the reputation of the U.S. to such an extent that even Greenlanders are lampooning our savage decline. https://t.co/YDSR5Z6gPi

3 things can be true:

The US violated the norm of state sovereignty, which is bad for world order.

Maduro is a dictator, and there is now hope for his people.

The idea the US did this for oil is conspiratorial nonsense.
