South Bend continues to shape me in so many ways. It's always great to be back to see how far the city - and its people - have come.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

America is not a Christian nation.

America is currently a nation where authoritarians are using Christianity as a tool of oppression and self serving power.

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.

Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind.

The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.

If Jesus said his disciples would be known by their love for others, then when we claim to follow him but we are known for our bullying, our mockery, our callousness, and our contempt for others, we are actively taking his name in vain.

Love must be our reputation.

Some wisdom grows only in solitude. Other wisdom waits for us in the voices around the table. The spiritual life needs both kinds of light.

"This was all about some ugliness that we’re not part of. We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims."

Everyone is "in politics" in a democracy.

Tell these American whisky guys to vote harder or cope harder.

Doug Ford is the most expensive premier in Ontario’s history - but his record spending isn't actually helping Ontarians.

Premier, it is time to put our money where your mouth is. It is way past time to start actually building homes, creating jobs, and helping Ontarians. #onpoli

Most successful people are people you’ve never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs.

I find the older I get that there's very little about life that's as simple or as quick as you claim. Maybe you should take a breath and not jump to conclusions about someone I suspect you don't know and have never met, and yet you have a definitive opinion about.
Because you are shamelessly and uncritically promoting a con artist whose business is fleecing the bereaved.

This gets really simple really quick.

What keeps us "behind closed doors" is not only fear, but the belief that God cannot bring anything good out of a bad situation. It's a form of despair.

What keeps the disciples locked behind closed doors is what keeps us locked behind closed doors: not simply fear, but the belief that God could never bring anything good out of a bad situation.
