As I mourn the death of a remarkable pope, I must recommend my friend Matt Ashley's recent book exploring the Ignatian spirituality that shaped Francis as a Jesuit. It's the best study of his intellectual journey that I've read. https://t.co/LicNUk8Sqs

Murakoze cyane to all of our Rwandan hosts and speakers last week - embodying JPII’s and P.H. Kolvenbach SJ’s notion that solidarity is learned through contact, not concepts.

"Now more than ever, our intention is to serve people as such and not only Catholics; to defend above all the rights of the human person...it is not the Gospel that changes; it is we who begin to understand it better." Happy feast day St. John XXIII, and happy 60th Vatican II!

Here's the scene at Kololo airstrip on 28 Jan. 1971, when Idi Amin freed 55 men and women detained by Milton Obote.

Among those released: Benedicto Kiwanuka; Cuthbert Obwangor; Grace Ibingira; 'Jolly Joe' Kiwanuka; & the Nalinya Mpologoma, sister to the late Kabaka. 1/

@Unseen_Archive Fascinating clip - like watching history unfold again. Thanks for sharing Derek!

Grateful to see @africasacountry's review of Contesting Catholics, offered by @Unseen_Archive: "This is the singular achievement of Earle & @jamesjaycarney's book: showing that UG’s local histories were never local, highlighting the cosmopolitan sources of inspiration w/ 1/2

[Jay Carney @jamesjaycarney]

"There is a movement...to reverse the awful centrifugal force of alienation, brokenness, division, hostility, and disharmony. God has set in motion a centripetal process, a moving toward the center, toward unity, harmony, goodness, peace, and justice." RIP Arch. Desmond Tutu!
