We need #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies because a better understanding of the Bible and its complex history means talk about power, empire, colonialism—and that means a better understanding of our own history.

You shouldn't feel ashamed thinking about cultural heritage. Yes, of course, the killing of our fellow human beings is the most horrific and despicable aspect of genocide (or threatened genocide). But the destruction of culture and history also serves these evil attempts to 'erase' people groups.

The Pentagon Threatened Pope Leo XIV’s Ambassador With the Avignon Papacy The Free Press has documented a closed-door Pentagon meeting in which a senior Trump official lectured Pope Leo XIV’s ambassador on American military supremacy.

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America.

Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
