“Every perspective on economic life that is human and moral must be shaped by three questions: 1. What does the economy do *for* people? 2. What does it do *to* people? 3. How do people participate in it?” - Brianne Jacobs for ⁦@americamag⁩ 🙌🏽 americamagazine.org/politics…

Yes, democratic socialism is compatible with Catholic social teaching

Democratic socialism, this year’s political buzz phrase, follows the Catholic social teaching principle of people over profit. Its penchant for big solutions at the national level may not fit C.S.T....

Meet the Jesuit chaplain who prays for Congress. He could use your help.

I will see two people talking and pray: “Lord, whatever that is please bless that. Don't even know what it is.”

When I was on the Hill, Fr. Conroy was an invaluable source of clarity & guidance in an often toxic & bewildering environment. If he was indeed fired for political reasons, it's petty, pathetic & speaks volumes of what the institution has become. I pray that's not the case. xitter.cf/jzipple/status/9896032…

Here's a little video profile we did of Fr. Pat Conroy, now ex-Chaplain to Congress. Conroy was always non-partisan in public & private (& he actually told us he quite respected @SpeakerRyan) youtube.com/watch?v=zImxuz6S…

This bill to change the California police deadly force standard from using "reasonable force" to "necessary force" is the most important legislation to address police violence in America right now. sacbee.com/news/politics-gov…

Wherever you stand on the matter, it's clear that the church teaching on ordination represents a problem for evangelization.

Man, I love Jesuit priests. Tend to be such good, good people. (Desperately trying to avoid a “reck your rod” joke, but look at that - I did. Sorry...but I would. Oy SARAH STOP) xitter.cf/jzipple/status/9280683…

The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade... -GMH, SJ
