I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

“…when workers withhold their labor, businesses apply financial pressure, police and military refuse orders to repress protestors, and priests, sisters and lay leaders are in the forefront—they strip autocrats of their power.“
On how Catholic leaders and communities around the world have confronted autocratic regimes and defended democratic freedoms, with lessons for faithful action in the US today. @horizonsprjt.bsky.social bit.ly/4hSOqDk
U.S. Catholics are facing an authoritarian threat. The church has been here before.
The Catholic Church in the United States today is facing a crucial test. Will Catholic leadership accommodate and adapt itself to authoritarian power? Or will it offer leadership to give hope, oppose authoritarian abuses and defend human freedom?

Excellent idea. Assume we cannot break through digital information bubbles. There's a lot of analog world out there — that's where we can pierce through those realities.
