Sadly, it appears that Rabbi Salkin wants us to change our liturgy. We believe God made "a new and eternal covenant" with a new chosen people. Similarly, the New Testament is not merely a second testament but the new and final testament from God.

I have several pre-AI graduate degrees and recently returned to school (through my diocese and online at Notre Dame). I see that it's nearly impossible not to use some form of AI when researching and writing papers unless one avoids the internet altogether.

With all the attention focused on Leo XIII, few have noted that the name of St. Francis' best friend, trusted companion, and mosr ardent follower was Leo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother...
I have not seen any Catholic progressives critical of Leo XIV.
This is really terrible!

As a fellow alumnus of the University of Wisconsin Law School, I condemn the arrest of Wisconsin Circuit Court judge Hannah Dugan. Every lawyer -- every citizen -- should be outraged by this administration's terrorist attacks on the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...
The judge arrested by the Trump administration is a former executive director of Catholic Charities of Southeastern Wisconsin. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...
Nearly every prominent Catholic unversity and college has signed on. Bravo!

Pope Francis reminded us that love of our neighboor, especially the hungry, the poor, the sick, the prisoner, and the stranger is fullest and truest expression of the divine. Mark 1 2:30-31, John 13:34-35, Matthew 25:40-45.

In light of the U.S. Supreme Court's agreeing to hear arguments on ending birthright citizenship, I offer my wife's blog post from 2020 about why Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship should alarm every immigrant and child of immigrants in the United States.
