Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it. Congratulations President Lula and congratulations Brazil.

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

“We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House”

Meanwhile in Brazil, Catholics bishops say they "cannot remain neutral" if they are to ensure that "conscience or history will not condemn" them in the future. #PrayForBrazil #PrayForDemocracy www.ncronline.org/news/brazili...

Me da mucho orgullo compartir que el presidente Obama apoya nuestra campaña para el senado. El presidente Obama y yo comenzamos como organizadores en nuestras comunidades, porque comprendimos de inmediato que los verdaderos cambios surgen cuando la gente común se une a la lucha. #AngieParaFlorida

Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate. President @barackobama.bsky.social & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight. #AngieForFlorida

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

It is beyond me how anyone, let alone a Catholic, can in good conscience continue to support Trump. His racist, vile and disgusting remarks are far removed from what a Christian is called to be. There are no more excuses that can be made to espouse such behavior.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s newly appointed archbishop of Denver has benched Fr. Chad Ripperger, a celebrity exorcist who wrote a prayer to help “Stop the Steal” after the 2020 election and once said men should have told women to “shut your yap.”

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.

"I Believed American Healthcare Was the Best in the World. Then I Did the Math" Yale epidemiologist @Alison_Galvani anticipated a hefty price tag for Medicare for All. But she found that we are already paying more than enough right now to cover the cost of universal healthcare.

At its core, MAGA is a godless movement whose agenda is an affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s why Catholics are uniting under Pope Leo XIV to defeat authoritarianism.

VATICAN: The surgery was successful, completed on schedule and as planned, and the Holy Father has returned to his room.

Just found this pic of my great-grandmother with her friend Eleanor Roosevelt.

Cardinal Cupich: “Capital punishment is unacceptable in any case. The planned broadcast of the taking of a life by firing squad is nothing short of performative barbarism. Do we really want our children, who will inevitably view it, exposed to the pornography of a state-sponsored slaying?”

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

MAGA: The woke Pope Leo XIV is contradicting 2,000 years of Catholic teaching on the death penalty. Pope Nicholas I in 866 AD:

If you're a sailor who served aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on this recent deployment, and you want to get your story out there anonymously about your experience and how you and your shipmates were treated, send me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com

Pope Leo XIV has posted on his official X account that the Catholic Church holds the death penalty to be “inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

FYI, here's the plan for the "surprise" papal visit next weekend--assuming the White Sox win tonight. He throws out the first pitch in Chicago Friday at ALDS game four. He insists on visiting a No Kings rally Saturday. He preaches Sunday at St. Raphael's in Springfield, OH.

The people who don’t want you to watch miss rachel want you to watch a public execution

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

Trump would live stream Jesus’s crucifixion and make it a pay-per-view event. This is not a joke. You know that this is where we’re headed. Vote in the midterms as if your life depends on it. It literally does. 

ISIS also engages in public executions.

Together, the Bulwark community raised $575,000 for the Haitian Support Center, helping it provide basic necessities and support to families under enormous strain. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.

Pope: “The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences.”

Pope: “In every age, there is no shortage of false teachers who exploit the religious sentiments of many believers for their own interests, often pushing them to radicalize certain aspects of the teaching they have received at the expense of the whole — the whole, which is Christ and his Gospel.”

In letter on immigration by Denver’s Catholic, Lutheran, & Episcopalian Bishops, faith leaders say: “At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not erase the languages and cultures of the peoples gathered in Jerusalem. Instead, the Spirit created communion among them.” www.denvercatholic.org/pilgrim-peop...

A suggestion for the Bulwark Pope: If the Chicago White Sox make the World Series, how could His Holiness not go to their first home game on Monday, Oct. 26. And the day before, on Sunday, he could celebrate Mass in Springfield, OH, to show support for the persecuted Haitians.

“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed.” — Pope Leo XIV

Angie Nixon just confirmed that national Democratic leaders are now getting behind her campaign. In an interview on The Parnas Perspective, Nixon said she has spoken directly with Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and DSCC Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and that the DSCC is supporting her campaign.

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

If the only difference between a historically bad '24 Sox squad and a '26 team that wins the World Series is the existence of a Sox fan as pope, I'd say that's airtight evidence that 1) God is real, 2) the Catholic Church is the one true church, and 3) Cubs fans need to repent NOW.

$400,000! The Bulwark community stepping up. An honor to be a part of it.

Cardinal Robert McElroy, archbishop of Washington: We have failed to live up to the command in Deuteronomy, “you shall not violate the rights of the alien or the orphan,” and to the words on the Statue of Liberty. And so “we are losing our soul as a nation.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-los...

Exactly.

I realize that many years ago voters determined that character and honesty were not that important to them in a president or members of Congress, but it seems that when you have a historically unprecedented level of lying about everything with rampant corruption they should care.
