The President of @FootballAssoc tweeted multiple times about tennis yesterday but @KensingtonRoyal couldn’t bring himself to tweet congratulations to the Lionesses or commiserations to the Welsh Women nor to #Chelsea for winning the @FIFACWC #cfc #AbolishTheMonarchy

Congratulations to @ChelseaFC on being crowned FIFA Club World Cup champions. A proud moment for the club, the fans, and for London. 🏆

The situation in Iran and Israel has deteriorated drastically. I renew my appeal to responsibility and reason. The commitment to build a safer world, free from nuclear threats, must be pursued through mutual respect and sincere dialogue, in order to build lasting peace founded on…

Let us ask from the Holy Spirit the gift of #Peace. Peace begins in our hearts, for only a peaceful heart can spread peace in the family, society, and international relations. May the Spirit of the Risen Christ open paths of reconciliation wherever there is war. May He enlighten…

Let us invoke the Spirit of love and peace, that He may open borders, break down walls, dispel hatred, and help us live as children of our one Father who is in heaven. #Pentecost vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
