I’ve just discovered there’s a current Italian Cardinal called Pizzaballa and if he isn’t made the Pope the Conclave will have missed its greatest ever opportunity to bring joy to all mankind.

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

I am sad that Pope Francis died for a few reasons, one of them is because it took the spotlight away from this amazing story of love conquering all: people.com/billy-ray-cy...

Papst Franziskus war der einzige Papst, der jemals ein Cover des „Rolling Stone“ veröffentlicht hat. Er at auch Musik gemacht. Das Album, „Wake Up!“ zeigt den Papst beim Singen von Hymnen und Reden, während im Hintergrund rockige Melodien laufen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXGO...

I would like us to renew our hope that #peace is possible! From the Holy Sepulchre, the Church of the Resurrection, where this year #Easter is being celebrated by Catholics and Orthodox on the same day, may the light of peace radiate throughout the Holy Land and the entire world.

Nancy Mace, eine amtierende republikanische Kongressabgeordnete, filmte sich selbst dabei, wie sie sich gegenüber einem Wähler mehr als unhöflich verhielt. Anschließend postete sie den Clip, um die Demokraten zu „beschuldigen“. Der zwischenmenschlicher Umgang in Amerika has been Trumpified.

Sadistic language from the White House, gleefully revelling in contempt for law, judges & individual rights. This is what incipient fascism looks like.

If you defend this or try and explain this away, you’re a monster and I don’t know how you sleep at night.

Can’t say exactly why but in light of news from the UK, Hungary and elsewhere that I’ve just read this picture I took a few minutes ago in the rain on the roof of Le Corbusier’s cité radieuse in Marseille seems weirdly apt.

It is so bizarre being an American living abroad and fielding repeated questions from people I know about whether they will be detained at the border or need a burner phone, or having to counsel my students not to pursue PhDs in the US right now because they might not be safe from the government.
