‘The Church and the World Have Changed:’ Two Religious Scholars Examine Pope Leo’s Young Papacy
CNN 09-29-26
Christiane Amanpour interviews David Gibson, director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, and Father Thomas Reese, senior analyst at Religion News Service: “That’s actually the very reason that Pope Leo wanted to go to France. No pope has really made a major visit to France in about 20 years…His father was on the beaches of Normandy, helping to liberate Europe from Nazism. This in many ways is personal for him and as an American and certainly as a pope, to go also to the heart of Christendom and call it back to its roots.”

“In the world, in general, law enforcement starts when there’s evidence of a crime, and then investigates. A DA doesn’t wait for all the evidence to investigate a crime, and an AG doesn’t wait for all the evidence in the newspaper to investigate illegal behavior: they learn about a car crash or a product that might hurt people or property and then try to find out what happened. There’s plenty of evidence akin to car crashes. There’s actual break-ins and deaths, and companies themselves who are claiming that they are building something unreasonably dangerous.”

Another Dismal Poll Just Dropped For The GOP — And Experts Spot Exactly Why Voters Feel This Way
Huff Post 09-25-26
But there’s a definition of elite that all sides can agree on, according to Nicholas Tampio, a political science professor at Fordham University in New York City. “An elite is somebody who has, in effect, more than one vote,” he said. “One can have more than one vote by being able to make a major contribution to a political candidate or party, by having special knowledge and credentials to navigate the legal system, or by having access to media networks.” Trump is right that Democrats have elites, including wealthy liberal donors, law professors and talking heads, Tampio said. But it is also true that the Republicans have elites, and Trump has filled his cabinet with billionaires and military generals.
