The first American leader of the Catholic Church has fiercely criticized the war in Iran, deepening tensions between the United States and the Vatican.
The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Some ancient bishops knew the unspeakable things, which were the facts that raised difficult questions. Knowing that the apostle John did not believe in the Resurrection did not eliminate faith, but it was a troublesome fact.
Irenaeus was a good guy, but he hid the truth to promote the faith.
Irenaeus admitted that there were two different numbers for the Beast, but he preferred the one everyone knows today... because the other number was troublesome.
Irenaeus claimed to know Polycarp of Smyrna, but the letters of Ignatius of Antioch show that the famous Polycarp was bishop shortly after the death of Paul-- because Onesimus was bishop of Ephesus at that time. Irenaeus was either misunderstood or lying. Maybe he knew a different Polycarp?
Irenaeus knew, but he had a competing vision of the Church without difficult questions.
