A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope
friend in the group chat: “Chicago got a pope before a 4000 yard passer”
if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly
wonderful grace
Almighty God, who hast given us thy only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and as at this time to be born of a pure virgin:
Something to think about
We spent decades doing research to produce mRNA vaccines, which could save millions of people from preventable deaths from countless diseases, and a conspiracy theorist with no medical background is going to throw it all away
Note to Dem leaders: If you consider how much the political landscape has changed in two months and you’re calculating your political tactics because you think you know what the world will look like in fall 2026, much less 2028, you’re deluding yourself.
I buy too many of books. Usually during Lent, I give up book buying and I donate the value of the books I would’ve bought.
This year, I am giving up Target because of their policy shift on DEI. If those I care about can’t sit at the table, their hand doesn’t belong in my pocket.
That it may please thee to bring into the way of truth all such as have erred, and are deceived,
I still have hope for the Philadelphia Inquirer. It has a unique ownership structure that gives it a large measure of journalistic independence.

For Maths fans,
2025 is a perfect square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also product of two squares
9² x 5² = 2025
Also sum of three squares
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025
It’s the only square year of our generation, the next one is
2116 (92 years away)

Agreed, but we should have seen him and the rest of the oligarchs coming, courtesy of the Supremes decision in Citizens United. It was only a matter of time.
Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity.
Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, dismissing a January 6-related case following Trump's Monday order:
"All of what I have described has been recorded for posterity, ensuring that what transpired on January 6, 2021 can be judged accurately in the future."
Ushers that greet you at the door, vestry members that introduce themselves, saying “welcome” to new-comers when passing the Peace … and coffee. Lots of coffee 😂
Deleted Instagram and Threads, so I’m totally out of the Meta ecosystem. I left Threads and Instagram for the same reason I left X awhile back. I try not to go into bars where the band has to perform behind chicken coop wire.
Yeah, but he’s only speaking to the base and the timid because the rest of us know better. Matthew 10:16-20.
Born and raised Roman Catholic, received by the Episcopal Church 40ish years ago. RCs and Episcopalians are liturgical, sacramental, and corporate. Big difference is Episcopalian have fewer saints and sacraments, and IMO, the Bible is more of a thing. Episcopalian have a bigger theological tent
If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom:
“God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53
