If I were Trump, I would have left the White House intact, and built a pyramid instead.

A comment I saw on r/Catholicism on the recent meeting with Pope Leo and Father James Martin

This is a high quality comment.

Xiaoma, a polyglot, was invited to give a speech at a high school for Language Week, and he delivered the entire speech in Gen Alpha slang.

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

At his last public appearance, Pope Francis repeated what had become a slogan in his pontificate of peace. Everyone knew to expect it at the end of his audiences, but never did it lose its strength.

During the Easter Urbi et Orbi blessing, the day before he died, the Pope’s words echoed the countless appeals he had made over the years, urging world leaders to lay down arms and turn to dialogue.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Actually no. This misses the point of Jesus's Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk 10: 25-37). After Jesus tells a lawyer that you should "love your neighbor as yourself," the lawyer asks him, "And who is my neighbor?"

In response, Jesus tells the story of a Jewish man who has been beaten by robbers and is lying by the side of the road. The man is helped not by those closest to him (a "priest" and a "Levite"), but rather by a Samaritan. At the time, Jews and Samaritans would have considered one another enemies.

So Jesus's fundamental message is that *everyone* is your neighbor, and that it is not about helping just your family or those closest to you. It's specifically about helping those who seem different, foreign, other. They are all our "neighbors."

But Jesus's deeper point can only be understood from the point of view of the beaten man: our ultimate salvation depends, as it did for that man, upon those whom we often consider to be the "stranger."

ICYMI — Factory CEO in Springfield: “I wish I had 30 more. Our Haitian associates come to work every day, they don’t have drug problems, they’ll stay at their machines, they’ll achieve their numbers, they are here to work – a sharp difference from what we’re used to.”

BREAKING: CNN just released their fact check of Donald Trump throughout the debate. It turns out Donald Trump lied on just about every answer. Retweet so all Americans see this vital fact check on Trump’s BS.

[Restore Island Rail @WarrenSkaalrud]

Did you know that Vancouver Island has a Great Vision Quest underway right now?

3 Working groups have been established to create a final vision for the Vancouver Island Rail corridor and from what I hear, that work will complete by December this year.

With all this work being done at the tax-payers expense, don't you think we should be ready to support that final vision and urge the BC and Federal Government to fund it?

That is what the change petition is all about, do you think we'll reach 20,000 by Christmas? I do! https://t.co/XOuBPjGePP

All Aboard!
