"Friends a great professor of mine at Mundelein Seminary Dr. Richard Issel once said If you want to be happy stop worrying about being happy and get on with becoming fulfilled. We find something similar in Jordan Petersons observation that self-consciousness is equivalent to misery. In short were most unhappy when were turned inward fussing about ourselves. If you want to be psychologically healthy forget about yourself and move out toward others. I always think of this when I come across our Gospel for today from the great Sermon on the Mount."

"A rather silly article appeared in the Sunday edition of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune concerning my participation in the Presidents Religious Liberty Commission. The author Karen Tolkkinen claimed that I advocate erasing the boundaries between church and state. This is a gross mischaracterization of my position. The first amendment to the Constitution does indeed say that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion and I completely support this. But the amendment contains a second clause in regard to religion namely that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free"

"I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence considerable charm and real goodness of heart. I reconnected with him just last year after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were to put it mildly hostile to his views. I texted him that I was so struck by how he kept his cool and his charitable attitude in the face of some pretty obnoxious opposition. I then asked him to appear as a guest on my interview program Bishop"

"There is a great piece in the Wall Street Journal today written by Sian Leah Beilock president of Dartmouth College. She acknowledges what many of us have been saying for some time namely that our university system has become corrupt and she proposes commonsense solutions. First make a university education more affordable. Tuition and costs have become just ridiculous especially at schools that boast massive endowments. Second make the investment worth it. Do more to guarantee that graduates actually get jobs. Third (and to my mind most importantly) "re-center education on learning rather"

"Some commentators recently objected to Pope Leos revival of the ancient tradition of blessing lambs on the feast of St. Agnes. During the brief ceremony the animals were gently held blessed and then returned to their caretakers. Yet this peaceful and symbolic moment was criticized as a form of cruelty and even as a violation of the spirit of Laudato si on the grounds that the lambs were momentarily confined. Such reactions illustrate a tendency in certain quarters of contemporary Catholic commentary to impose ideological lenses on practices that are at once traditional humane and sacramental"

"I understand that one of the topics under consideration at the Consistory of Cardinals is synodality. Im speaking as a bishop who was an elected delegate to both rounds of the Synod and Synodality in Rome and who has just presided over a local synod in my own diocese. Synods are good and useful tools for the determination of practical pastoral strategies but they oughtnt to be forums for debate regarding doctrine. When settled teaching becomes a subject for synodal determination the Church devolves into relativism and self-doubtas is clearly evident in the misconceived Synodal Way in Germany."

"I was impressed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference.

But he pressed the matter further insisting in the spirit of both Christopher Dawson and Pope Benedict XVI that that culture is grounded ultimately in the Christian faith. It is simply the"

"There was a line from Zohran Mamdanis inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world todayVenezuela Cuba North Korea etc.are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as rugged individualism. In"

God wants us to give him glory in a particular way: through our intellect and willour search for truth and our love for him. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2023057714314666132"

"Friends on this Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time our second reading from the Letter to the Hebrews offers us a great biblical description of faith. I stand with Paul Tillich the Protestant theologian who said that faith is the most misunderstood word in the religious vocabulary. Critics of religion say that faith is accepting things on the basis of no evidence; its believing any old nonsense; its navet; its superstition. But this has nothing to do with what the Bible means by faith"

How do we make sense of this theme of divine punishment without falling back into a terrible view of God as an arbitrary capricious tyrant This little passage from Hebrews gives us the interpretive key"

"Friends for this Twenty-Third Sunday of Ordinary Time were reading from the fourteenth chapter of Lukeand it is very serious spiritual business. A lot of us sinners are satisfied with a low-level spirituality of following the commandments. But in this extraordinary Gospel Jesus challenges us to move into the upper levels of the spiritual life: If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother wife and children brothers and sisters and even his own life he cannot be my disciple. This is meant to be a kind of shock therapya deeply challenging message about what serious discipleship"

"Friends this year the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross falls on a Sunday so we have the great privilege of reflecting a bit more deeply on this marvelous and frankly disconcerting and odd feast.

They dont hide it or pretend he died some other way; on the contrary Saint Paul says I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. How do we begin to explain this"

"Friends a great professor of mine at Mundelein Seminary Dr. Richard Issel once said If you want to be happy stop worrying about being happy and get on with becoming fulfilled. We find something similar in Jordan Petersons observation that self-consciousness is equivalent to misery. In short were most unhappy when were turned inward fussing about ourselves. If you want to be psychologically healthy forget about yourself and move out toward others. I always think of this when I come across our Gospel for today from the great Sermon on the Mount."
