Pope to Youth of Lebanon: “If love has a time limit, it is not truly love. Conversely, friendship is genuine when it places ‘you’ before ‘I.’ This respectful and welcoming way of looking at others makes it possible for us to build a greater ‘we,’ open to society as a whole and to all of humanity.”
"The Church, if she wants to be Christ’s Church, must be a Church of the Beatitudes, one that makes room for the little ones and walks poor with the poor, a place where the poor have a privileged place (21)." #PopeLeoXIV #DilexiTe #LiveTheGospel #RememberThePoor
"The longer I live, the more I see God at work in people who do not have the slightest interest in religion and never read the Bible and would not know what to do if they were persuaded to go inside a church." #DorothyDay

My partner’s two aunts, retired now, came over from Malaysia decades ago and worked all their lives for the NHS. They have “indefinite leave to remain”. Having served this country for decades, would Farage et al threaten them with deportation? Yet another outrageous policy proposal from Reform.
Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.
In 1917, Britain denied Palestinian national rights, paving the way for over a century of dispossession. Recognition is long overdue - but it alone won’t end Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, which continue unabated with the UK's complicity.
