1. So, if you were listening to @NPR's Weekend Edition just now, you may have heard @rosiewestwood and I talking about our reporting on Catholic bishops and abortion — which also happens to be the first NPR-RNS team up!
Here's the NPR segment: npr.org/2024/10/20/nx-s1-514…

One of those stories where what you uncover truly surprises. Many thanks to @jackmjenkins and our teams @NPR and @RNS
Also a story of striking numbers. Ex: A Florida abortion rights group has raised $90 million — 10x more than two anti-abortion campaigns

Prayers for the soul of Dikembe Mutombo who died of Brain Cancer today. Grateful for his service to @Georgetown and his humanitarian service to Central Africa.

There are no words adequate to describe this loss. @officialmutombo’s impact on and off of the court is unmatched. Thank you and Rest in Peace Dikembe.
some contest here: Sunday is Michaelmas, aka the Feast of Saint Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

My latest for @RNS - examining why so many Muslim, Palestinian and Arab-American voters can’t see a path forward w/the 2 main candidates, and why Gaza supersedes and domestic issue, even though these communities are invested in so many domestic and local outcomes.
"I don’t see any difference in the … immensity of evil within the two candidates," said Suehaila Amen. "They’re both violent, they both lack compassion and understanding and even humanity.”

NPR reports on VBS changes:
"We don't hold so tightly onto the idea that the goal is membership. The end goal is community and reaching out beyond our church doors to connect with our neighbors."
