Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.” “We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. “There are much greater, more important issues.“

NEW: Pope Leo XIV tells NBC News that what he loves about America is that we have “invited for generations people from around the world to be part of America.” Noting that he’s the grandson of immigrants, he calls immigration one of the nation’s “greatest wealths.”

Trump lost the 2020 election and tried to stage a coup to stay in power.  He should have never been allowed to run for office again because the US has a Constitutional ban on insurrectionists holding office. Like the Confederates, had Trump been held accountable, we wouldn’t be in such a mess…

Repost @mickydolenz: This month in 1967, @themonkees released “Pleasant Valley Sunday.” Written by the extraordinary Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 11 in the U.K. And somehow, it still feels just as much fun to sing all these years later.
