By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - If Pope Leo hopes to swing American Catholic opinion against the war in Iraq—and still more if he hopes to convince the Trump administration to sue for peace—he’s going to need some more persuasive arguments. Those arguments are available. But to date the Holy Father hasn’t used them... Thus far, in his public statements on the war, the Pope has simply repeated his appeals for peace: a peace which, he insists, can be attained through negotiations. His call for a cease-fire, at his Angelus audience on Sunday, was typical: “May paths of dialogue be re-opened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability, and peace for which the peoples are waiting.”

By Sean Fitzpatrick, Crisis Magazine - While the debate is settled whether curiosity killed the cat, it should be added that it can kill the Catholic, as well. Therefore, Catholics like Candace Owens should be cautious about what the Catechism calls “unhealthy curiosity.” Truth warrior as she has been, many sense that Candace has departed from the path of truth in her recent embroiling over Erika Kirk, the widow of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, descending into a spirit of inquisitiveness.
