Pope Leo’s motto, ā€œIn Illo uno unumā€ (In the One, one) is taken from Augustine’s Expositions on the Psalms. And in the passage, we find the idea framed in the classic both/and of the one and the many—and with Christ at the center holding the two poles together in union.

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons!

Today is the feast of St. Junipero Serra. Takes me back when Bishop Barron organized a coalition to stand athwart an attempt to vandalize the Saint’s statue at Santa Inez Mission. The effort failed. The mob dispersed. The statue remained.

Since becoming pope, Leo XIV, the "Son of Saint Augustine," has quoted the Doctor of Grace—by my count, and appropriately enough—no less than 33 times. That's an average of about once every 1.5 days.

Why, writes Matthew Becklo, when so much of the world has embraced the revolution—when it would be so easy to leave or ignore the Church—do progressives desperately try to change the Church, to make it into something it’s not, and never can be? catholicworldreport.com/2025/07/07/on-…
