Friends, the gilded ballroom offers us a foretaste of heaven, where the dance of Trinitarian love will gleam in streets of gold and there will be no poor people

To paraphrase the great St. Augustine: without justice, what is an empire but a gang of thieves? This is why I commend Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice, who maintain such vigilant objectivity and integrity.

Woe, friends, to the hypocrites who focus on the minutia of the law, such as “conditions” inside detention centers, and neglect the weightier matters, like the difference between nature and supernature

Innocent people are being terrorized! Children are being torn from their parents! These are Christians! Far away! In Nigeria! Just imagine if that happened here! We would be rioting in the streets! I know I would

The triceps is three heads, one muscle—a moving image of the Trinity. This is why, on arm day, I do 3 sets of 7 reps of skull crushers

Real diversity isn’t about race or gender, but ideas. Picture a rich array of everything from neo-Scholastic Thomists to existential Thomists, from transcendental Thomists to Lublin Thomists

Do I hope hell is empty? Sure. Am I certain it is? No. Do I expect it is? No. Do I think it probably is? Also no. Do I wish to God I’d never made this stuff part of my public image so I wouldn’t have to deal with all the rancor from an increasingly trad audience I myself have attracted? Absolutely.

It can be difficult for Americans to celebrate Christ the King, as we have never had anything like a king in our great nation. What we have instead is a President who simply commands the military, controls the budget, guides speech, and threatens to execute opponents who promote the rule of law

As the great Qoheleth reminds us, there is a time for everything. Our task is to identify what’s needed now. This is why it’s so important, in the United States in 2025, to fight socialism.

One of my favorite films, A Man for All Seasons, depicts the martyrdom of St. Thomas More, who chose his conscience over the bullying of a king. How could this possibly apply to us?
Well, friends, Charlie Kirk risked his life denouncing another “king” (MLK)

In our polarized society, everything is politicized. What ever happened to the quaint old prayers of our grandmothers, like the Magnificat?

Christianity, far from opposing modern science, is the soil from which it sprouted. In fact, science has been so successful in the West that we don’t really need to fund it anymore

At such a crisis point in history it’s important we set aside petty differences, such as whether someone raped children, and focus on what matters: making trans kids hate themselves

Friends, the Trump administration takes aesthetics seriously. Look around! We are seeing the influence of the great Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, particularly the first part of his Divine Comedy

As a Catholic bishop, I would urge radical transparency in anything related to the sexual abuse of minors. Fortunately, Trump did nothing like that. Let’s focus instead on the decline of modernity starting with Duns Scotus

Friends, join me on a European tour called the Via Pulchritudinis (“Way of Beauty”) where we’ll imbibe the glory of architectural marvels from the Foro Mussolini to Franco’s Arco de la Victoria!

The Church has a preferential option for the poor—but who are the poor? Might they be a President with low approval ratings? Might they be the aspiring trillionaire getting wrecked by Joyce Carol Oates on their own website?

Friends, the farmers and rural folks of my diocese of Winona-Rochester are thriving under the tariffs and trade wars. At least, I think they are—I’m usually traveling.

If I know Jesus, he would rather be worshiped in a gorgeous cathedral than paraded in a desolate place among criminals
Will any of Catholics in the Trump-Vance Administration speak out against the government banning Masses in the parking lot outside the ICE facility in Chicago? www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/new-ignori...
NEW: Ignoring Pope Leo’s Warning, Trump-Vance White House Bans Prayer Vigils at ICE Facility
Trump-Vance officials told Church leaders “no more prayer” outside a Chicago-area detention center — just days after Pope Leo warned the White House was trampling religious liberty.

Friends, I am appalled by the notion that X is a “Nazi p*rn” app. It is simply a neutral tool of the New Evangelization, spreading the gospel through dewy-eyed AI girlfriends and the great modern-day apostle, Grok
