@Travis_Sawchik @MLBcathedrals @architecturejks Amen! This reminds me of Philip Bess's proposal from the late 1980s the last time the White Sox were planning to build a new stadium. I wonder if the authors are familiar: https://t.co/5mJYKiHccV

New! We’ve spend a lot of time and effort working on this ballpark concept for you. It’s been hard to keep under wraps. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with @architecturejks and @Travis_Sawchik on this, Enjoy!

Chicago Public Schools just pulled federally mandated special education services from 800+ students with disabilities at Catholic schools — mid-year, with no warning. This is not just wrong. It may be illegal. Let me explain. 👇

I'm back in the Pillar!

Have you been dreaming of a liturgical and architectural synthesis across 400 years of history, dozens of photos and illustrations, and primary materials translated into English into the first time?

If so, this is the article for you!

Bear down! A thread about the stadium deal.

Chicago sports runs on tradition, loyalty, and community. Teams trade on that history constantly. But when public money is involved, we’re told “it’s all just business.” Illinois families are right to be tired of business as usual.

"If we focus only on the violent character of American culture or its broken moral anthropology, we miss something more foundational. We ignore that we are at risk of becoming people incapable of loving, even poorly." -- @pojanowski

Bishop Joseph N. Perry, vice postulator of the Tolton cause, encouraged the ambassadors to pray for the miracle that would make Father Tolton "Blessed."

“When students realize their own humanity is at stake in their education, they are deeply invested in it. The problem with liberal education in today’s academy does not lie with our students.”

On this day 20 years ago, the Virgin Mary appeared in a Chicago viaduct. She’s still there all these years later. Read all about the apparition in my piece for @thelampmagazine.

Our Lady of the Viaduct, pray for us!
