By R. R. Reno, First Things - Pope Francis published his suicide note. It took the form of a letter to the American Catholic bishops. In so many words, the Holy Father urged his brother bishops to intervene in American politics and oppose the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce our country’s immigration laws. Along the way, Pope Francis also took a jab at Vice President JD Vance, correcting him (along with St. Thomas Aquinas). No, we are not to love our parents, spouses, and children more than others.

By Complicit Clergy, Staff - How many of these missing children were assisted by our Catholic bishops and their network of Catholic NGOs? Were any of these children victims of trafficking for child labor or sexual exploitation? U.S. taxpayers deserve to know answers to these questions and we hope that the Trump administration and the U.S. Congress will hold our bishops accountable for getting answers to these questions.

By Kenneth Craycraft, Our Sunday Vistitor - In a recent appearance on a TV news show, JD Vance articulated the “Christian concept that you love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens in your own country, and then, after that, you can focus and prioritize the rest of the world.” The comment caused immediate, harsh reaction from many in the Catholic commentariat, condemning Vance’s observation. Some have cast doubt on his personal faith. One prominent British journalist even questioned the faith of the priest who received Vance into the Church.
