"As we set our gaze upon him who was crucified for us, we can see a crucified humanity. In his wounds, we see the hurts of so many women and men today. In his last cry to the Father, we hear the weeping of those who are crushed, who have no hope, who are sick and who are alone."
"Brothers and sisters, this is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war."
— Homily of Pope Leo XIV
Every year following the Match, I answer hundreds of questions about the future of the primary care physician workforce, but you know who never has to answer those same questions? Medical school Deans/Provost.....

Catholics are called to reject antisemitism and the lies and conspiracies that fuel it, and to stand clearly against hatred and violence directed toward our Jewish brothers and sisters. To defend religious freedom with integrity, we must also reject antisemitism.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to testify before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health as part of their hearing: Lowering Health Care Costs for All Americans: An Examination of the U.S. Provider Landscape.
I spoke about an issue that affects every patient, family physician in America: the rising cost of health care. Family physicians have seen firsthand how the cost of care impacts patients. Too often, people delay care, skip medications or struggle to follow treatment plans because they simply cannot afford them. No one should have to choose between getting medical care and meeting basic needs like food or housing.
During my testimony, I emphasized that strong primary care is one of the most effective ways to improve health outcomes and lower costs. I shared with lawmakers that meaningful progress will require thoughtful policy reforms, including modernizing physician payment, reducing administrative burdens like prior authorization and ensuring patients can access key primary care services without unnecessary cost barriers.
Family physicians are committed to caring for patients and communities every day. I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring their voices to Congress and to advocate for policies that strengthen primary care and improve the health of our nation.
There has been no harsher critic to U.S. military action in Iran than Pope Leo XIV:
“War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.
“Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself, or in the pursuit of the establishment of the ordered universe willed by God, with a more perfect form of justice among men and women.”
“Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion.
“This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.”
