I shouldn’t have bothered checking it out. I’m a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christian</a> who is always looking for different options to help my prayer life, but <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Hallow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hallow</a> was definitely not this. It also reminded me why I never joined the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Catholic</a> Church even after all the years of <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Jesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesuit</a> education I received.

Dustin J. Byrd, Ph.D.My discourse with the critical theorist, Rudolf J. Siebert, is now available. We discussed the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Jesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesuit</a> father Alfred Delp and his resistance to fascism.

Kevin LaRose, AOC2028<a href="https://journa.host/@samlitzinger" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@samlitzinger</a> I was educated in <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Catholic</a> schools from junior high all the way through college, mostly of the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Jesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesuit</a> flavor, though I never converted for any number of reasons. Vance, Alito and their crew practice a Catholicism I don’t recognize at all.

Kevin LaRose, AOC2028I have to say I was a fan of Pope Francis. He wasn’t perfect, but he was a huge upgrade from the previous couple of pontiffs, particularly Benedict. I spent over a decade in <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Catholic</a> schools, starting with middle school and ending in college. Both high school and college were <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Jesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesuit</a> schools, and I’m forever thankful to the Jesuits for what they taught me, first and foremost the ability to think critically, a skill that seems to be going the way of the dinosaur. I never converted to Catholicism, as I’ve always had issues with the structure of the church itself. But I find it extremely distasteful that Francis is being called a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/woke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woke</a> Pope and a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a> Pope by some. Actually, I don’t think those folks would have any issue with DEI so long as it was preceded by Opus. I would hope that the next Pontiff would focus on the same issues Francis did, the same issues I learned were the most important in my Jesuit education. I know that’s probably too much to ask. The Catholicism practiced by the likes of JD Vance and Damuel Alito is something I scarcely recognize.

Corina KarstenbergI know a <a href="https://waag.social/tags/Jesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesuit</a> in <a href="https://waag.social/tags/Rome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rome</a> who voted for Trump. Remembering this while thinking about how it is possible that someone like Vance has the change to meet the <a href="https://waag.social/tags/pope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pope</a>.

The Conversation U.S.<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PopeFrancis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PopeFrancis</a> was the first pope of many firsts: the first modern pope from outside Europe, the first whose papal name honors St. Francis of Assisi and the first Jesuit. His <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Jesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesuit</a> roots – and the "Spiritual Exercises” of Jesuits – shed light on his approach to some of the world’s most pressing problems: <a href="https://theconversation.com/francis-is-the-first-jesuit-pope-heres-how-that-has-shaped-his-10-year-papacy-200667" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/francis-is-the-first-jesuit-pope-heres-how-that-has-shaped-his-10-year-papacy-200667</a>

Kevin LaRose, AOC2028<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CurrentlyReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CurrentlyReading</a> Amusing Ourselves To Death by Neil Postman. I’ve been meaning to read this book for years and am finally getting around to it. I’m astounded that this book was published 40 years ago, long before smartphones or even the Internet. Postman postulates that television is the main culprit for dumbing down society. And it’s just getting worse, of course. My contention, based on my own observation, is that critical thinking is nearly extinct. I’m eternally grateful for the education I received in <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Jesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesuit</a> institutions in high school and college. It gave me a good foundation of critical thinking that has served me very well. I would highly recommend reading this book.
