Bookends. My book Cathonomics was published at the start of the year. And this new book, Ethics in Action, was published at the end of the year. I’m the author of one, and an editor of another.

- I went to Mass at Holy Trinity this evening and President Biden was in attendance. He sat alone and joined the communion line when it was his pew’s turn, just like any parishioner. I prayed for him.
- Three of the worst oligarchs backing Trump - Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks - are products of South African apartheid. This isn’t a coincidence.
- Maybe someday Vance will become Christian too.Vance publicly expresses disappointment his wife isn’t Christian: Do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved in by church. Yeah, I honestly, I do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way.
- The name Leo means an emphasis on Catholic social teaching in the face of grave social and economic injustices.
- I miss him.He was such a sweet, humane soul. God rest his soul. May he be joined to the company of the Holy Pontiffs.
- I’m devastated by the news coming out of Rome. Pope Francis is the world’s moral leader, the leading voice against a surging far-right. We need him.
- So far, the Episcopalians are showing far more courage in the face of evil than the Catholics…
- By the way, I’m hearing that people in Rome are disgusted by this.
- Again I say it: for these people, Christianity is a mere cultural marker with no connection whatsoever to its values and principles.Like it or not, we have been a Christian nation ever since the beginning of our history. -@douglaswils at NatCon 5
- He called the pope a heretic. Dolan and Barron are disgracing themselves.Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"00:00
- Trump is indeed the poster child for the seven deadly sins. In every way he is the antithesis of Christianity.
- The attempt to align Catholicism with Trumpism is now a dead letter.
- Imagine Pelosi had been ousted by a tiny group of far-leftists. Does anybody believe in a million years that Republicans would have rescued her?
