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.

"Pope Leo XIV continues to proclaim the Gospel of Christ by upholding human dignity and serving as a tireless advocate for peace. His message transcends partisan political divisions in this or any country and I’m deeply grateful for Pope Leo’s inspiring example. I ask members of the Notre Dame community to pray for peace and work together with all people of goodwill to build a more just and humane world."
A statement from University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., in support of Pope Leo XIV:
Jacob Lollar opens his workshop on Working with Manuscripts from the Mediterranean World. Thanks for hosting us @jalollar.bsky.social

NEW: The Secretariat of the Apostolic Nunciature (the papal nuncio's office) has also confirmed that the Pentagon meeting occurred to @rns.org, but declined to offer more details or answer directly whether the Avignon Papacy was mentioned during the meeting.

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.
