"Pope Francis’ rejection of proselytizing, his down-to-earth communication style and his pastoral approach made the church look interesting and relevant in a way that propaganda-driven Catholic art could never achieve." My latest at NCR. https://t.co/WCkRbpmWSP via @NCRonline
I named my first car after him. Because it was constantly in flux. (It was a 1983 Ford Fairmont.)

I really appreciated this interview, which helped shed some light on some of the experiences I had in college and graduate school.
On this episode of Glad You Asked, hosts @ejesanna and @RBrattenWeiss talk to journalist @gareth_gore about what Opus Dei is, how it functions, and the allegations of fraud and human trafficking that have been brought against the group. https://t.co/OGskLsddsy
