“There is always the lurking danger of living in a laboratory. Ours is not a ‘lab faith,’ but a ‘journey faith,’ a historical faith.

“God has revealed himself as history, not as a compendium of abstract truths. I am afraid of laboratories because in the laboratory, you take the problems and then you bring them home to tame them, to paint them artificially, out of their context.

“You cannot bring home the frontier, but you have to live on the border and be audacious.” — Pope Francis

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

@RaminNasibov Hyperbole

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

#Peace is not something we must invent: it is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbor as a brother or sister. We do not choose our brothers and sisters: we must simply accept one another! We are one family, inhabiting the same home: this wonderful planet that ancient cultures have cared for over millennia. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

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. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

Wonderful retreat at @SaintMeinrad!

@ChristopherHale Yes!

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

If attacking Pope Leo online then posting an AI generated picture of himself as Jesus doesn’t convince you that the president has zero respect for Christianity, after all that has happened up to now, I can safely say you do not care about the truth.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Daniel Rober @ProfDanRober]

Truly remarkable that a guy who few heard of a year ago, and never sought this, has taken on the role of not just the moral voice one ought to expect of the papacy but a national icon to whom Americans turn their lonely eyes.

How wonderful to meet up with @SenatorDurbin at @@McKendreeU this week!
