Two big Ninth Circuit rulings today: 1. Court rules that Oregon requirement that parents seeking to adopt a kid from foster care agree to "respect, accept, and support" kid's sexual orientation and gender identity violates the First Amendment. Opinion by (excellent Trump…

I had the privilege of meeting PD James at a book signing for her bestseller, "The Children of Men," many years ago. If you thought "1984" was prescient, read "Children of Men." nytimes.com/2025/07/22/opi…

Yes, you work for the Church. But just as with elected officials there are different priorities, so too with Ordinaries.
This is why good Catholics don't want to work for the Church. New bishops come and go and you'll eventually end up working for a bad one and have your whole life derailed. I've seen it over and over again.

Mary Magdalene’s most painful moment was at the empty tomb, wondering where Jesus was. Yet he was with her. Even though she didn’t recognize him at first, that doesn’t change the fact that he was still there. In your worst times, even if you don’t realize it, he’s with you too.
Incredibly important thread on the cost of the divorce. The least compelling? The financials. "I think about his son. He just learned how men treat women. How they keep promises. How they honor the mother of their children. Or how they don't. That's Andy's legacy now."
This is Andy Byron. He just lost a $500k job as CEO at Astronomer for cheating on his wife... But that's just the beginning. Here's how much an affair actually costs:
