So Pope Leo has "Creole of color roots from New Orleans." Every scholar of race in America knows what that means. Under the "one drop rule,"* the world now has its first Black pope. 😄 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Of note: The most famous Pope Leo is Leo the Great, who met Attila the Hun and talked him out of invading Italy. Pope Leo was also known for energizing charity in Rome during a time of famines, refugees and poverty.

What a great group of neighbors! Thanks to all who joined us on today's Forbidden Housing tour. (Here's the group, looking good in front of the Art Deco El Capistrano Apartments in the Mission, an example of the type of housing that couldn't be built under today's rules!)

Pope Francis was the first major figure to term the war on Gaza a genocide. we got used to him and maybe took him for granted, but he was the world’s most powerful voice for peace and was unwavering in his remaking of faith as a practice of solidarity with the marginalized and poor aje.io/mgxouw
