When it comes to arguments over war, for every Bishop Gumbleton there have been a dozen Cardinal Spellmans. https://t.co/Gg65xvtcXv

America’s engagement with Dylan over the years was fairly scant. That is probably for the best: One can only deal with so many Jesuits and professors triumphantly closing a tedious article with “as the man says, ‘the times they are a’changin’.” 🥺 https://t.co/pn7jWDUt6h

Today is Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that is only celebrated in a small part of Mexico but is often commemorated stateside. I wonder what Fuentes—renowned as an interpreter of Latin America to the United States and vice versa—would think of it all? https://t.co/y0WaUXGVGO

@RyanLEllis @CatholicUniv Amazing that you’re still doing this.

[Jim Keane @jamestkeane]

Wondering what folks at @CatholicUniv think about those among their theology profs being open cheerleaders for Trump over the past year. Must be an awkward week.

@RyanLEllis @CatholicUniv Wait…are you the “oh my shizzle” guy?

"Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
