When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
Pope Leo has called for “deep reflection” on the treatment of migrants in the United States.
Speaking to journalists in Castel Gandolfo, just outside Rome, the Pope said that “many people who have lived for years and years” in the US, “never causing problems”, are “deeply affected” by the current situation.
The Pope was responding to a question from a journalist concerning the fact that Catholic migrants detained in Chicago have been denied access to Holy Communion. He went on to stress the importance of protecting the “spiritual rights” of migrant detainees.

@tdkyo@TheAtlantic@itscaitlinhd I’ve seen this episode and also follow him! Just unbelievable. I’ve done a deep dive on the Darian gap on YouTube and reporting. The videos really bring it to life…
@TheAtlantic@itscaitlinhd Outstanding, revealing and sad reporting of the human condition and plight of migrants seeking a better life. Pulitzer-worthy journalism.
@itscaitlinhd The Darién Gap was once considered impassable. Now hundreds of thousands of people are risking dangerous terrain, violence, hunger, and disease to travel through the jungle to the United States. Read @itscaitlinhd’s full story here: https://t.co/tHg43RQ2qK
