Black & Catholic interrogating Blackness & Catholicity. Love first & often. Laughter=Intimacy. La ilaha illallah. In Illo uno unam.

@sundarpichai That live translation is incredible and amazingly accurate. I am blown away at that capability.

I'd like to see the practice mode, and whether it has utility for high intermediate and advanced learners.

This thrilling Prophetic Voice for our times offers an inspiring vision of "the new human person - including the new male human person...not defined by certitude, control, or power (but through)...forgiveness, generosity, and hospitality."

[Walter Brueggemann @WaltBrueggemann]

“Faith” is not a set of certitudes.

Happy 95th Birthday, #LorraineHansberry!

[The SNCC Legacy Project @SNCCLegacy]

Today we honor Lorraine Hansberry.

Whether raising funds, rallying support, or writing to educate Northern audiences about SNCC’s mission, she was constantly in solidarity with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

Malcolm X would have been 100 years of age, had he lived to see this day (May 19, 2025)

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

#TheKingCenter remembers #MalcolmX [El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz] on his 100th birthday.

He’s often and intentionally misunderstood and maligned.

But Brother Malcolm was a giant of a man, a mystery only to those who don’t really want a sincere look at his heart, history, and hunger for freedom.

@WasteManagement Unfortunately she left the same number we both have been calling. We need to talk with a live person because neither the web nor the phone options are able to locate the new address.

@WasteManagement Hello, we still haven't received the help needed to set up my mother's account. The representative called her, left a message on her voicemail to phone back or visit the website.

[tshombe @tshombe]

@WasteManagement We aren't able to talk to a live person. The automated AI agent cannot locate the address likely because my mom's place is new construction & the address doesn't exist, yet.

Pope Francis at Angelus: “We label people. Does God label people? We need a Church and a society that does not exclude anyone, that does not treat anyone as 'impure'. Everyone, with their own story, is welcomed and loved without labels and prejudices, without adjectives"

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

While pondering the DDF's #DignitasInfinita issued today, I stumbled upon Fr Daniel Horan OFM's initial impressions of the Vatican's critique of "Gender Theory" https://t.co/gvq2uKGZ0a

Thank you so much, @Gloria_Purvis, for reaffirming the dignity and worth of our #BlackNationalAnthem in this straight-no-chaser thread 😉

[Gloria Purvis @gloria_purvis]

I learned the Black National Anthem at my Catholic elementary school. I remember singing it at Mass, also at Black Protestant services, at Black fraternity and sorority events, MLK day programs, at family reunions etc. The anthem is a staple in my community. 1/

So proud of and exceedingly grateful for our two amazing transitional deacons (kind of a misnomer to call them "transitional" since they will always be deacons), Nik Guiney (@guineypigs) and Tyler Kreipke, who in a few short days will also be ordained #CSCPriests.

[University Of Portland @UPortland]

New Hope on The Bluff episode! 👀

Deacon Tyler Kreipke and Deacon Nicholas Guiney join Dr. Kelly for this month's Hope on The Bluff as they talk about their journey to the Holy Cross Congregation and their time as pastoral residents.
