Hope in Division

First, condolences to all the Bengals and 49ers fans out there, and congrats to the Eagles and the Chiefs! I can’t say I really prefer one over the other that much (though the Chiefs played the Buccaneers in the Super Bowl a couple years back). So… go team!

One of the big things in the Catholic world that happened this week was an article in America Magazine written by Cardinal McElroy, and I’m glad I got a chance to discuss that with Fr. Dave. One of the takeaways for me was that, though McElroy implied he was in line with what Pope Francis had said, Pope Francis has already definitively spoken against some of what McElroy proposes.

That was a part of a wider conversation of “media bias,” and how hard it can be to get to the truth about things, especially when we only hear soundbites from media sources. I’m really excited about the upcoming conference Franciscan is sponsering with EWTN news about this! Find out more here: https://franciscan.edu/journalism-in-a-post-truth-world
