Fr. Ignatius John Schweitzer, OP: Exegesis of the Word: On Christ the Light of the World Now and to Come

By Fr. Ignatius John Schweitzer, OP, Catholic Exchange - Breaking Open the Word - “Christ is the Light of the world.” What is contained in this short statement?... “God is Love.” This is another short line, overflowing with meaning... “God” is a short word but infinite in meaning...

At one point in his speech, Mamdani promised to “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” In a sharply worded post on X, Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester and the founder of Word on Fire responded to this line, saying that it “took my breath away.”

‘All Signs Point’ to End of Communist Cuba, GOP Officials Say, by Pedro Rodriguez

By Pedro Rodriguez, The Daily Signal - Republican officials believe President Donald Trump is close to “freeing the people of Cuba,” as whistleblowers claimed the Trump administration eyes regime change in Cuba by the end of 2026... The administration has allegedly been in search of Cuban insiders who can help execute a regime change on the island... “All signs point to that [end to the communist regime],” Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla... Before communism took hold of Cuba in 1959, the island was home to a thriving economy with dominance in key agricultural industries such as sugar and coffee.
