A Sacred Art Studio comes to northern Virginia. I was present for this. Our world needs beauty and now many will be formed to contribute to an aesthetic and sacred renewal.
🎨 Bishop Burbidge blessed a new Sacred Art Studio in Falls Church, where artist Dony Mac Manus is using beauty and faith to draw others toward Christ.

"In the Encyclical Sapientiae Christianae, my predecessor Pope Leo XIII wrote that 'no better citizen is there... than the Christian who is mindful of his duty.' In fact, faith - far from standing in opposition to the responsibilities of citizenship - lends new vigor to the pursuit of justice, peace and the common good, bringing to perfection every natural gift bestowed by the Creator."
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, @Pontifex has addressed a letter to the American people.

Congratulations to @ChristendomVA on the launch of their Center for Public Policy and master's program. The Church needs more men and women of principle in public life.

The Supreme Court shapes the American people through its rulings, occasionally getting things very wrong. Upon reversal, the Court then pretends the issue is for a majority of the people (who have been malformed by the Court’s actions) to sort out. Do you see the dereliction?
Dr. John Bergsma is a heroic witness to the Gospel, and this is an hour of need for his family. A very worthy GoFundMe if you are looking to tithe by supporting a great Christian family.

"Abortion could never be 'left to the states'—ultimately, one way or another, it’s always a national issue." @Vermeullarmine
Are you a faithful, high agency, and passionate creative media producer? I am looking to hire rapidly for a critical @arlingtonchurch role, supporting the ministry of @BishopBurbidge and the evangelical mission of the local Church in northern Virginia. Link below.
As Christians, we are called to conform not only our hearts but also our minds to the truth.
Pope Leo XIV to the faculty of the Pontifical Lateran University: “Academia often does not enjoy the appreciation it deserves, also because of deep rooted prejudices that unfortunately appear even within the ecclesial community. At times one finds the idea that research and study are of little use for real life, that what counts in the Church is pastoral practice more than theological, biblical or juridical studies. The risk is the slip into the temptation to simplify complex questions in order to avoid the labour of thought with the danger that even in pastoral action and forms of language, banality, superficiality or rigidity may arise.”

"We want to live rightly. And to decide how to live rightly, we need to be able to call a good deed a good deed and a sin a sin. We must be able to speak of ordered loves and disordered loves. We must distinguish truth from falsehood. Charlie understood that." @ISI

“Jesus alone comes to save us, and no one else: because only He has the power—He is God-almighty in person—and because He loves us.” @Pontifex

“Natural law is right reason, in accordance with nature, universal, constant and eternal, which with its commands, invites us to do what is right and with its prohibitions deters us from evil...”
Pope Leo XIV meeting with legislators from various nations for the Jubilee of Governments quotes Cicero on natural law: “In the words of Cicero, already an authoritative exponent of this law in antiquity, I quote from De Re Publica: “Natural law is right reason, in accordance with nature, universal, constant and eternal, which with its commands, invites us to do what is right and with its prohibitions deters us from evil... No change may be made to this law, nor may any part of it be removed, nor can it be abolished altogether; neither by the Senate nor by the people, can we free ourselves from it, nor is it necessary to seek its commentator or interpreter. And there shall be no law in Rome, none in Athens, none now, none later; but one eternal and unchanging law shall govern all peoples at all times””

Congratulations, Dr. Camosy! @CatholicUniv and Washington will be stronger for your presence. Excited to welcome you to the Diocese of Arlington when are you ready…
Delighted to share some professional news: this coming fall semester I'll be joining the Catholic University of America's school of theology, teaching moral theology and bioethics full time. I'm so proud to be joining a wonderful faculty (which will also have fellow newcomer Angela Franks, aka @theologianmom) doing inspirational and high level work for the Church in our nation's capital.

Righteous power saves the world. Evil, which is what the ring is, corrupts.
At the heart of The Lord of the Rings is a very simple idea:
Power corrupts. Always.
Not sometimes, not just for the weak, not just for the selfish.
Everyone who touches the Ring is changed by it.
Even the good. Especially the good.

Laws change culture. We have seen that on every major culture-shaping issue of the past 70 years, from school prayer onward. If we have the capacity to change culture, that will naturally include DC politicians and the laws they pass. Both/and, not either/or.
Pro-lifers are getting ahead of their skis by suggesting that Planned Parenthood is being defunded in the "One Big, Beautiful Bill." The BBB is DoA in the Senate.
Mark Twain famously said after his obituary was mistakenly published, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
Sadly, PP is alive and well and killing more babies than ever before.
Lets top looking to DC politicians to solve abortion killing and get busy changing the culture.
