There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.

Sherrod Brown on derailment: "They never look out for their workers. They never look out for their communities. They look out for stock buybacks & dividends. Something's wrong with corporate America & something is wrong with Congress... listening too much to corporate lobbyists"

[Kevin Ahern @kevin_ahern]

It still amazing to me that people on #CatholicTwitter can spend hours debating the minutia of Eucharistic theology and remain sinfully silent on the ways structural racism and economies of exclusion desecrate the body of Christ

Excellent article - although Ms Weber was being very gracious about "Latin Mass" proponents. My experience is that they are VERY judgmental toward those worship according to the ORDINARY Rite of the Mass.

[America Magazine @americamag]

The way we talk about the liturgy matters, and to describe something as “irreverent” assumes a level of malicious intent on the part of worshipers that other terms do not. https://t.co/FOg3QZ7rL1

@PTBwrites That this even needs to be said is the exact heart of the problem in the "pro-life" movement

@NabilahIslam Congratulations! So happy for you and the people of GA!

So sad. We lost a giant in Scripture scholarship today. Rest in peace, Fr. Senior, and thank you for making Scripture come alive.

[Catholic Theological Union @ChicagoCTU]

With deepest sorrow we share that Rev. Donald P. Senior, CP entered eternal life today. We celebrate his life and the extraordinary gifts he embodied as a world-renowned biblical scholar, prolific writer, and extraordinary pastoral leader. Arrangements are pending.

I am not a member of an organized church. I am a Catholic (semicit.)

[Diocese of Buffalo @BuffaloDiocese]

Interested in the permanent diaconate and the formation process? Do you feel called to serve the church through ministry, word and liturgy?

Join Deacon Tim and Deacon Howard at St. Gregory the Great on November 17 at 6:30 pm to learn more about the permanent diaconate.

I had mass this evening at St. Luke’s mission of Mercy remembering that awful day, 10 yrs ago Oct 13, when he died. Much has been said, written, argued, and investigated. When everything is done, Fr. Joe Brought healing, peace, and pizza to hungry souls. https://t.co/upVqOmu7rg

Does objecting to performing gender transition procedures—but welcoming patients who identify as transgender—constitute discrimination? Of course not. https://t.co/pXIIZ6WQi8 via @americamag

CRS staffer Dina Brink is in front of members of Congress right now talking about the global #foodcrisis and what the @WFP Executive Director @WFPChief classifies as a hunger situation that is “hell on earth.”

@JamesMartinSJ What's up?

[Deacon Don Weigel @DeaconDonWeigel]

Shifting public perceptions on immigration—often based on political rhetoric and a misunderstanding of the facts on the ground—may help explain why there has been little, if any, movement on immigration reform in Congres https://t.co/BwppSYlvuo

Pope Francis says the poor should be dignified agents of their own destiny. The principle of the preferential option of the poor cannot devolve into paternalism. One implication is that the poor need political power.

Today we remember and pray for all the victims, survivors, families and first responders impacted by 9/11 and for peace, understanding and tolerance in the world. #September11

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I am determined to ban assault weapons in this country.

I did it once before, and we will do it again.

[Deacon Don Weigel @DeaconDonWeigel]

Satire, but right on point!
