By the way, the best place we ate in London was Kol. They do “English-Mexican” fusion with only local ingredients, meaning no citrus and no avocado. This dish contains no avocado, but it does contain mayonnaise 😍. Book ahead, it’s a tough table to get!
For those of you looking for a Saint for these times:
St. Martin de Porres is the Patron Saint of Black People, Race Relations, Social Justice, and Racial Equality.
It’s pretty tragic that this is basically the fate for most if not all creatives/artisans even the extremely lucky ones. We might be able to point out one or two exceptions to the rule but that’s like the point they are exceptions
Pope Francis in new interview calls for “normal seminarians, with their problems, who play soccer, and who don’t go to the neighbourhoods to dogmatise.” He warns against people “trapped in a theology manual, unable to get into trouble and make theology move forward.” 1/5
Bishop Barron says he disagrees with Aquinas on the belief that Angels were assigned to move the planets.

No one’s really talking about how it might have been traumatic to see actual violence - not Hollywood pretend violence - on live TV. It was deeply unsettling to watch it, and to rewatch it as we all have. No one bargained for that.
Ultimately these sort of complaints always boil down to one thing: it’s impossible for these ppl to imagine that working class folks/people of color have imaginations and actually have some vested interest in changing the world and how it works
Here's what you're going to do. You're going to leave Dimes Square. You're going to visit your family in the midwest for a few weeks. You're going to attend Novus Ordo Mass. You're not going to discuss Podcasts or tweet about Papal Encyclicals. Tell me you understand.
So many ppl getting worked up like the Pope did this to specifically anger them rather than actually break bread and listen to those who are in need.
Which I suppose gets at the root of the problem. They dont recognize the humanity of people whos lives don't resemble their own
