  1. ‘They celebrate goals, we count martyrs’: Watching the #WorldCup in Gaza
    As the #FIFAWorldCup enters its final stages, it is clear that even three years of #genocide has not extinguished Gazans’ passion for the game. Ibtisam Mahdi described how #Palestinians are defying Israeli bombings and power outages to follow #soccer’s biggest tournament, while many still fear that the world has abandoned them.

  2. CW: Strange alliances: I read a Jesuit's reflection on teaching

    @haiku_shelf

    "To teach a person to live by thinking and to think by living."

    Father Antonio Spadaro SJ offers a thoughtful reflection on the role of the university and the nature of learning.

    I am a university teacher in a technical subject. I am not a Christian, not a Catholic. I am an atheist who admires the rebellious stance of the Reformation. But as a teacher, I find substance in Spadaro's text.

    Learning and teaching are part of a process where the student encounters their subject, encounters others, encounters themselves. The university is a place that creates such encounters. That is a programme Martin Buber would be happy to share. It is also a programme that is threatened by the maelstrom of genAI corruption.

    I am willing to treat Pope Leo as an ally in today's battle in defense of meaningful education.

  4. "As one of the nation’s most recognizable bishops, Barron’s words (or lack thereof) send a signal to both the faithful and the broader public.

    His silence risks suggesting that the plight of immigrant families simply doesn’t merit the same moral urgency as the other issues he’s been vocal about. This is especially troubling given that he sits on President Trump’s own commission on religious liberty."

  5. "Barron’s silence is jarring given his stature. Here is a bishop known for media savvy and evangelization, even serving on President Trump’s own Religious Liberty Commission, yet he has said nothing about the ongoing deportation crackdowns — even as federal agents have been sweeping up parishioners in their raids."

  6. "One of America’s most prominent Catholic leaders, Bishop Robert Barron, has been conspicuously silent about President Donald Trump’s aggressive ICE raids on immigrant families.

    This silence stands in stark contrast to the clear moral call coming from Pope Leo XIV. Earlier this month, Pope Leo implored the U.S. Church to speak out 'with one voice' against the cruelty unfolding at the border."
