Writing an introduction to a new book about my friend Cardinal Avery Dulles, whose 100th anniversary we celebrate this year, I came upon this interview with him, done after he was named a cardinal. What an amazing person. (Note his comments on division.)

"We have to listen to one another and sit down and talk together in a civil spirit. I regret the way in which some go off in a sectarian way within the church and make their own little home in one wing or the other..."
"...and become either liberal Catholic reformist types or truly adamant conservatives."

Dear friends: This week was one of the worst weeks in the church and in the Society of Jesus. By January, all of the US Jesuit Provinces will have released the names of Jesuits credibly accused of sexual abuse. This was the right and moral thing to do. 1/
It is part of the process of confession, which we hope will lead to healing and reconciliation. And to be clear: any credibly accused Jesuit today is immediately removed from active ministry. And any Jesuit who may have committed a crime is reported to civil authorities. 2/
But the release of names means that the stories of abuse will be read and cause further outrage and despair. 3/

Dear friends: I don't often recommend films but last night I saw the extraordinary "Happy as Lazzaro," on @netflix. A combination of an Italian neo-realist film and a parable, it hints at the stories of Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi and of course Lazarus.
It is an exquisitely made film, at once moving and challenging, clear and confusing, consoling and shocking. The religious themes, Catholic and otherwise, are throughout what I would say is close to a masterpiece.
It's one of the most profoundly religious films you will ever see.

New writing! I reviewed ⁦@ColdWarScience⁩’s new book, which taught me that the namesake for the James Webb Space Telescope was an even bigger asshole than I already thought. Also, everything American scientists are taught about sci funding is wrong. physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT…

Oh look, Max Hastings has a new book. George Will likes it.

I wonder whose original work Max stole this time.

If you've published anything on the Vietnam War recently, I suggest you check if Max plagiarized you.

A lot of people have been asking me over the last 12 hours why I'm pushing for #HopeHicks to be @realDonaldTrump's new CoS so let me explain:
1) Kelly is leaving... yes, I know what Trump said, I know what Kelly said... but take I know enough people in the WH to know, Kelly is leaving.
2) Personel is policy, the next CoS will be responsible for hiring and overseeing the hiring of many important positions. Under Kelly, MANY Never-Trumpers have been brought into the administration. Trump's base who cares about #MAGA cannot afford another year of this

Exodus 19:5 The earth belongs to the Lord. There was never a time the earth belonged to the devil. The devil only works with the systems of the world

Scriptures talk about the devil being the god of this world. It also emphasises that when we get born again, the devil is no longer the god of our world. God becomes our God

1/ I finished @nntaleb's new #book Skin in the game, and here are my learnings, insights and notes.

Warning: this thread is going to be huge.
2/ Human systems are systems within systems, interacting in complex ways. No article / paper / logic can capture all interactions of such systems and their evolution over a non-trivial amount of time.

So fear one shot, large scale interventions (such as invasions, UBI, CRISPR)
3/ People with fuck you money should call out famous or powerful people when they are wrong
