For MAGA intellectual Yoram Hazony, it's only the Hebrew Bible that can revivify Christian nationalism.
@MaxFoleyKeene on Hazony's case for a Trumpist Old Testament:

"I found myself responding to King Lear in a way I couldn’t quite explain, and I think it was because of its almost total absence of love."

Dominic Preziosi: The small sample of successful Democratic seminarians and pastors can’t support the idea that this is a watershed moment for the 'Christian Left.'
Campaign exhortations to Christian charity from candidates like James Talarico and Adam Hamilton will fade quickly. Now, the hard work of advancing justice begins.
Election analysis from Dominic Preziosi:

There are good reasons for a conclave to be the last time a pope casts a ballot. With Leo’s recent midterm vote, a threshold has been crossed.

When the Pope Votes. Leo XIV ‘doesn’t take sides,’ but Prevost ‘has an opinion.’

"As the results come in on election night, members of both parties will be alert to developments that add any possible sour note to Democrats’ expected victory."

Archbishop John Wester has been prophetic on peace for years. He also spoke with me about Islamophobia and his view on trans people.
The Church’s just-war doctrine was always aimed at preventing war, not justifying it.
In this episode of the Commonweal podcast, @ABJohnCWester tells @HeidiSchlumpf why all modern wars are immoral:

For better and worse, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s language is a thing of the past. But it might be useful to recover his conviction that God can guide our will if we are open to such promptings.
