A Pope Who Blows Kisses

Hello friends. The pontificate of Francis has been unique in many ways. Some of these ways have not been met with open arms or acceptance, whether from the Curia in Rome or Catholic parishioners in America. Yet Francis seems a Pope for our times, and willing to humbly seek forgiveness later than ask permission first.

Brothers and Sisters, All

A note from the Yale Forum on Religion and ecology: Pope Francis released a new encyclical in Assisi on October 3 for the Feast of St. Francis. The title, “Fratelli Tutti,” can be translated as “Brothers and Sisters, All.” It highlights the theme of friendship and kinship, calling for peace and harmony among all peoples, religions, and nations.
