Pope Leo this week repudiated a major teaching used by the Catholic Church since at least the fifth century to evaluate when countries might be justified in waging wars, in a move experts said could have long-reaching impact. For @Reuters reuters.com/world/spurning…

Pope Leo has issued a stark warning about AI in his first encyclical. Cardinal Czerny tells me "Pope Leo the 13th issued his call for the protection of human dignity without real dialog with those who were imperiling that dignity. This time Pope Leo (the 14th) is issuing the warnings in dialog with those who are responsible for AI... this is an extraordinary step forward."

Anyone else think the @colbertlateshow finale was "Twin Peaks: The Return" coded? The vortices, the spaces backstage and then behind backstage, even the record-scratch sound effect just before moving from the void for "Jump Up" back to the Ed Sullivan stage for "Hello, Goodbye"?

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

A source told us that the district is planning with a ~$700M deficit in mind, which assumes getting some amount of TIF surplus money from the city. That deficit also assumes the city, not CPS, would cover the cost of a pension payment.

NEWS: Chicago Public Schools is gearing up to release school budgets next week. With massive deficits looming in 2026-27 and beyond, these budgets will likely include some cuts after years of holding the line or steering more money to schools. chalkbeat.org/chicago/2026/0…

Just war theory has its place, but is “the wrong starting point,” Cardinal Cupich said. The first question we should ask is not, “Can this war be justified?” but rather, “What does the Gospel demand of us now? What does it mean, concretely, to be peacemakers?”
