I think they'll be renamed Knights of McGivney once he's recognized as a saint.

Still stand by that if KoC and Italian-American Catholics wanted to show someone who came from Italy to the US and showed true Catholic and American spirit, Mother Cabrini is the obvious candidate.

It is quite a deliberate choice to allow an editorial in a church bulletin that defends Christopher Columbus (if transparency it wasn’t the pastor himself).

It’s even more of an interesting choice when that editorial does so by paraphrasing Tony Soprano.

But Bosco never came to the USA, right? Mother Cabrini did and did the Lord's work here.

I'm not sure LD fostered many positive virtues for me. But I do think extemp did.

To be fair, HS CX debate has messed with many minds.

I did LD back in the day.

I was told that if you take a selfie at the protest and send it (along with your account information) to [email protected] you get at least $150.

Am I wrong?

Just to be clear, the one time I actually showed up to a No Kings protest I grabbed some random cardboard from a moving box and had my wife write a message on it because her handwriting is legible and I still had to pay my bus fare 😩

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

During college summers, I worked for an investment bank. Some of my best friends are in finance. I was offered a job at a VC firm at graduation (which I declined). I have investment accounts.

Will the NYT give me space for an op-ed about much needed Wall Street reforms?

And who is the author of this op-ed? The billionaire CEO of an asset management firm who helped author the compact.

Roman Catholic: Bad Bunny needs sacraments to be Good Bunny
Baptist: Bad Bunny must be born again as Good Bunny
Pentecostal: Bad Bunny needs to be slain by the Spirit.
Episcopal: Bad Bunny should repent… politely, then BCP and tea make him Good Bunny

It would be funny if our Augustinian Pope weighed in on this ...

a fascist president, a corrupt president, a vindictive president, a senile president we might endure — but a pelagian president?

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

This new column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social makes me think about when I recently had to talk to the police for yet another safety plan, I tried to “lighten” the mood by saying that we all knew this wasn’t my first rodeo. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...
