His ministry, #WordOnFire, actually sued #Commonweal magazine for an article which compares his comment to a #DonaldTrump one. He's trying to be like too many #priests nowadays, taking this weird impossible #objectivity and #bothsidesism. I like and respect #RobertBarron a lot and encourage him to do more, and speak out more.
Word extinguished: Bishop Barron's digital silence

When confronted with a perceived slight to his brand of Catholicism, Bishop Robert Barron is quick to post on social media. But when it comes to those on the margins, his alleged prophetic voice is conspicuously silent.

Hoops with Nets

Mark Halliday In South Philadelphia the b-ball hoops in the playgrounds and parks mostly had no nets, no nets on the rims—they’d been stolen or ripped down after being torn by leaping teenagers. Whe…

It occurred to me just now that if the universe is a simulation (which I do not believe but cannot disprove), something like @graydon's quarter-million years of wizard-war in the universe of the #Commonweal is not a very distant branch of either code or state. If you could write a physics package good enough to evolve galaxies and solar systems with modern humans ab initio, you could certainly do that plus "magic works, sometimes, for some people". Even with the algebraic topology.

Ein Artikel des Theologen @massimofaggioli.bsky.social brachte US-Bischof Robert #Barron und seine Medienorganisation »Word on Fire« mit Donald #Trump in Verbindung. Daraufhin wurden rechtliche Schritte gegen die Zeitschrift #Commonweal angekündigt. Ist damit die #Pressefreiheit unter Druck?

For decades, Fr. Columba Stewart, a #Benedictine Monk of St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, has traveled the world in an effort to preserve #manuscripts belonging to #EndangeredCommunities.

Books and fragile documents carry not just the stories and ideas that connected diverse communities, but also the physical traces of the individual scribes and #librarians who cared for them.
