Who’s on BlueSky: Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, the newly elected VP of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops!
Congratulations to Archbishop Coakley. I’m honored by the confidence expressed by the body of bishops. I’ll do my best, con la ayuda de Dios. We must work together to announce the Gospel of Christ, and all that the Gospel implies for the defense of human dignity.

Good point.
Side note: Threats of military action notwithstanding, worth noting that any Christians fleeing religious persecution in Nigeria could not, at present, enter the U.S. as refugees, as the U.S. refugee program has been almost entirely frozen by Trump for months — save for Afrikaners from South Africa.

Hildebrand also gets invited to speak to seminarians in Austria where he insists that Catholics in this moment must forcefully reject all anti-Semitism, even the most casual varieties. Half of the audience walks out, and he is never invited back to the seminary.
