El Papa se negó a recibir la Legión de Honor de la República Francesa y los homenajes civiles con sus signos revolucionarios. En cambio, ha honrrado a nuestros hermanos sacerdotes y religiosos masacrados por la sanguinaria Revolución Francesa.

[Sohrab Ahmari 🇺🇸 @SohrabAhmari]

Embracing children with Down syndrome and other people with disabilities, the ailing and elderly whose lives are deemed unworthy to live by assisted-suicide advocates---Pope Leo XIV is a counter-witness to our age. (As beloved Francis was, too!)

It's all so distant from the Crusader LARPing, crypto-Nietzschean flexing, and angry chauvinism that define the faith for a subset of mainly young men online. It is to be hoped that at least some of them can glimpse the real thing in Leo's public ministry.

Samedi, les Français se sont vus.

Leur nombre. Leur unité. Leur visage.

Pas celui qu’on leur montre tous les soirs – ceux qui brûlent les voitures, qui cassent, qui agressent. Le vrai. Des familles, des jeunes, des enfants sur les épaules, des bébés tendus vers la papamobile. Une marée humaine de l’Étoile à la Concorde, et pas une vitrine touchée.

Ce pays que l’on dit fracturé, épuisé, perdu – il était là. Il s’est compté. Et il s’est découvert immense.

La Concorde. La place où la Révolution a coupé la tête du roi. Aujourd’hui, on y dit la messe. Plus de deux siècles pour faire le tour – mais le tour est fait.

Ils répètent 600 000 comme un mantra. Le chiffre fait peur ? Peu importe le chiffre. L’essentiel, c’est que tous ces gens se sont vus.

Je rappelle juste comment ça s’est passé chez nous.

Juin 1979. Jean-Paul II à Varsovie. Le régime compte sur l’indifférence. Il voit arriver des millions de Polonais. Le pape dit : « Que ton Esprit descende et renouvelle la face de la terre. De cette terre. »

Et chaque Polonais découvre une chose très simple : je ne suis pas seul.

Le communisme ne tenait pas par les chars. Il tenait parce que chacun croyait être seul à ne plus y croire. Un an plus tard, Solidarność. Dix ans plus tard, la liberté.

Une foule qui casse, un pouvoir sait la gérer – il en a même besoin. Une foule qui prie, il ne sait pas. Surtout quand elle rentre chez elle en sachant qu’elle est nombreuse.

C’est comme ça que nous avons retrouvé notre liberté en Pologne. C’est comme ça que nous avons vaincu le communisme. 🇵🇱🗽

La France vit-elle son moment Solidarność ? Un réveil ? 🇫🇷⚜️

A good economist can explain commerce, entrepreneurship, market exchange, and growth, a great teacher changes how someone sees it.

Teacher. Writer. Speaker. Economist.

For more than four decades, Bruce Yandle has helped people make sense of economics, whether through his scholarship, his teaching, or his ability to make complex ideas approachable.

Now, after 42 years, his final Economic Situation report is here.

Pope Leo XIV: “The mission of the Christian soldier is… defending the weak, protecting peaceful coexistence, intervening in disasters, operating in international missions to preserve peace and restore order. All this cannot be reduced to a mere profession: it is a vocation, a response to a call that challenges the conscience. The soldier’s identity is forged by generosity, a spirit of service, high aspirations and deep feelings. But these values require a foundation, a gift of Grace capable of fostering charity to the point of total self-sacrifice. It is therefore necessary to inspire the codes, norms and missions of military life with the lifeblood of the Gospel so that, in the service of security and peace, the common good of peoples is always the first priority” https://t.co/qAmOtkDu6b

His life — his indefatigable, irrepressible drive to partake of all that it means to be human — bore witness against the culture of death.

Indian Americans are as numerous as Jewish Americans, and they earn more on average.

By attacking Indian American kids for going to a football game, the New Right has made an enemy of the most successful ethnic group in the country.

This is racist and sinful rhetoric that seeks to harm and to divide. It is disturbing that it comes from a candidate for public office. An apology is called for. @FWdiocese @NTCatholic @TXCatholic @USCCBGovRel #Txlege

A beautiful Mass of remembrance. A day forever in memory. there are Images, words, faces, feelings from those moments televised in NY and then experienced as we evacuated DC that I will never forget. For all those who were lost, for survivors, for their families and for peace.

For anyone who might be interested, my reflections from fifteen years ago on 9/11 and my return, a few months later, to the Catholic Church: https://t.co/eYY0Fi8WBA

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

May we be united in prayer today for those who died in the horrific attacks of 9/11 and for their family members, for peace in our world, and for the safety of first responders and all those serving in the military. May God bless our nation and stand beside her and guide her.

"The conflation-misstep" Succinctly captured! This is why we need public philosophers not just public economists, working in their own capacities. Why economists are subjectivists https://t.co/wOdyEhz3A4

As he visits the Italian city of Rimini, Pope Leo XIV spends a moment with Louis “Blue Lou” Marini, an American saxophonist and composer, best known as a member of The Blues Brothers band.
