Sharing my research on Cardijn, Vatican II, the world... Opposed to freeway construction since 1973. I blame Ivan Illich.
Well, I hope Justice Lee invoked the Western classical canon as well as wielding his sword and firing his cannon! www.theage.com.au/business/wor...

Should the new White House Ballroom be known as Trump's Orangerie?😅

A very big YCW story for the centenary. 20+ French YCW lay leaders, seminarians & priests (plus 1 YCS) to be beatified after Pope Leo recognised their martyrdom by the Nazis. And there are many more in Belgium, e.g. Fernand Tonnet and Paul Garcet. centreinternationalcardijn.org/french-jocis...

This is a project that I've long wanted to complete: a new online edition of Cardijn's classic 1930 "Manuel de la JOC" or "YCW Manual." Here it is, just in time for the centenary of the movement. A document to read, meditate and study! Chrome browser will translate it. manuel1930.josephcardijn.com

Given the way the concept of "lay apostolate" has disappeared from Catholic discourse, replaced seemingly by "lay ministry," I thought I'd ask AI how it understood the differences between the two notions. Here are the illuminating answers. synodality.cardijnresearch.org/lay-apostola...

Good to know that "five out of nine" is still a majority, according to news.com.au!

I asked Google Gemini to explain the Israel-Palestine for me. That's strange! It seems to have no idea!!

Great to hear that Carlo Acutis is being canonised. But I sometimes wonder whether we do enough to recognise the saints from our own movementss? Like Pierre Brébion of the French JEC (YCS)?

Youth "ministry" or "pastoral practice/praxis"? What's the difference and why has "ministry" taken over in the Anglosphere? Differently put, why has the Church largely abandoned Cardijn, the YCW, the YCS...? synodality.cardijnresearch.org/youth-minist...
