‘A Beacon of Hope’: Leaders React to the Death of Pope Francis

3 days ago | sojo.net | Mitchell Atencio

In his 12 years as pontiff, Pope Francis forged a legacy of compassion, humanity, and joy. The pope’s concern for social justice was on the mind of many mourning his death. From climate change to global poverty, war and violence, LGBTQ+ people and women’s roles in the church, Francis was remembered not just for his teachings or leadership on hot-button topics, but also the Argentine’s pastoral approach to the people caught up in them.
Pope Francis Knew I Belonged

3 days ago | sojo.net | Jim McDermott

When Pope Francis’ condition first began to in February, I found myself suddenly feeling the kind of vertiginous paradigm shift usually reserved for the loss of close family or friends, that sense of a curtain being torn aside and a truth being revealed. The detail that really broke me was the news that as he had gotten sicker, Francis continued to text and call the people of Holy Family Parish in Gaza. It was so far beyond what anyone would expect of a critically ill 88-year-old man.
Jesus Was a Terrorist

At some point this Easter Weekend, Christians will be reflecting on the final words that Jesus spoke from the cross, sometimes referred to as the seven last words of Jesus. When I was younger, I was convinced that System of a Down’s “Chop Suey!” was a Christian song because lead vocalist and lyricist Serj Tankian incorporated Jesus’ final declarations into the song.
No, Empathy Is Not a Sin

1 week ago | sojo.net | Tyler Huckabee

“The problem with the meritocracy ... [is that it] leeches all the empathy out of your society.” The right-wing political commentator Tucker Carlson said that back in 2017 and, by my lights, there’s a kernel of truth there. It almost echoes the early 20th-century sociologist Max Weber’s critique of the Protestant work ethic, how Americans are trained to see wealth as a just reward for living a good life and poverty as punishment for living a bad one; an economic spin on Calvinism.

Birthright Citizenship Is Under Attack. Christian Leaders Are Trying to Defend It

1 week ago | sojo.net | Bekah McNeel

From the first day of his administration, President Donald Trump has sought to end birthright citizenship, meaning that being born on U.S. soil would no longer be sufficient for establishing permanent legal status in the country. So far, three different judges have blocked the executive order Trump issued on Jan. 20, which the administration has appealed to the Supreme Court.

Meta Pirated Faith Writers To Train AI. Here’s How They Feel About It

2 weeks ago | sojo.net | Mitchell Atencio

Authors want their writing to be read. They like being paid for their work and finding out someone pirated a book or circumvented a paywall isn’t typically the end of the world. But when the reading is done by artificial intelligence, and the pirating is done by a multi-billion-dollar company? Many authors feel differently. Meta, the company that owns Facebook, pirated millions of books to build the dataset that would train its AI model, according to The Atlantic.
