@austeni @ilintar @mfjlewis @rightscholar Hi Austen! Thank you for looping me in. As you know, I don't usually engage on Twitter, but to every rule there's an exception. Goes without saying the opinions/analysis I'm about to express are my own, and don't replace what I've reported on the case thus far, which is extensive

@austeni

@austeni @ilintar @mfjlewis @rightscholar I know this is not Twitter’s usual protocol, but please, take the thread as a whole, not each tweet individually.

@austeni

@austeni @ilintar @mfjlewis @rightscholar I concede that PF might have acted out of a sense of charity in bringing Z to Rome while the allegations were investigated. However, there’s ample evidence showing that the allegations of misconduct were parked in a drawer, with him choosing to believe his friend.

In Santiago, #Chile, yet another Catholic church is attack. This time, the parish of Vera Cruz, one of the oldest ones in the country construction completed in 1857.
This is at least the fifth Catholic Church attacked/vandalized in the past few days.
(A thread).

Sources on the ground tell me that the relics from various saints that were inside the church were taken out yesterday: they were afraid something like this would happen. Similar actions are being conducted to protect other churches.

The situation in Chile is very complex, so two basic things:

1. Most of the protests, that have been occurring for 4 weeks, are and have been completely peaceful. Like it happens with huge manifestations around the world, sometimes small groups of people cause a lot of havoc.

Chile: Earlier today, protestors entered the Church of the Ascension, in downtown Santiago, taking paintings and and pews, to set up barricades, reportedly in an attempt to burn down the nearby University Pedro de Valdivia.
(A thread)

During the past three weeks, hundreds of thousands in Chile took to the streets to protests the country’s situation, particularly the inequality in what has often been considered the most stable and one of the wealthiest countries of Latin America.

The opposition has suggested there’s a need to reform the country’s constitution, a measure supported by many within the Catholic Church, including Bishop Celestino Aos, apostolic administrator of Santiago, who said there’s “no doubt” the constitution needs to be modified.

@Crux

A thread on the perils of covering the Catholic Church in Argentina, using my parents home as base.
In the past 5 years, being a journalist at @Crux has allowed me to learn about the situation of the Catholic Church in every continent but Antarctica. (Looking at you @cwwhite212!)

@Crux

Some of the trips I've made were as one of the journalists traveling on the papal plane. Others, with @Crux's editor, @JohnLAllenJr. But many, like my first trip to Iraq, or Ukraine or Nicaragua, I did on my own. When this was the case, my parents usually found out after the fact

@Crux

My parents don't really read English, so up until a few months ago, they didn't follow @Crux daily. However, they caught up to the fact that I would usually be in places other than Rome and one of their friends would call them and say "Why on earth is your daughter in Iraq?"

@valealazraki

.@valealazraki speaking at #PBC2019: "At first glance, there is little in common between you, bishops and cardinals, and me, a Catholic lay woman with no particular position in the Church, and moreover a journalist [and maybe that doesn't help]."

"Yet we share something very powerful: we all have a mother; we are here because a woman gave birth to us. Compared to you, perhaps I have an additional privilege: I am a mother first and foremost."

For a mother there are no first or second-class children; there are stronger children and more vulnerable ones. Nor are there first and second-class children for the Church.
