Pope Leo XIV's first tweet. Peace remains his first word to call all of us to experience the peace of the Risen Christ and become peacemakers.

Was Clement XIV (1769-74) the last Pope (so far...) to have an equestrian portrait?

I spoke with ABC News (Australian Broadcasting) about the history and contemporary state of the papacy / Vatican / Holy See. #CatholicTwitter abc.net.au/news/2025-05-1…

I had the immense pleasure of participating in the Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball & American Culture this week, presenting a paper on religious debates over baseball’s popularity in the antebellum era. It’s an absolute dream to spend time at the Hall of Fame!

The fourth volume in the series is out now! Click here for details about 'The Inquisition and the Christian East, 1350-1850', edited by Cesare Santus, Jean-Pascal Gay and Laurent Tatarenko: boydellandbrewer.com/9781914967122/… #CathHist #twitterstorians #catholicism

Particularly proud of that one. It owes so much to Cesare Santus who really is the prime editor here. For me the volume has a personal taste, as my paper deals with how the Roman Inquisition handled the community of my Greek ancestors in Genoese Corsica.

I was lucky enough to see this in a theater. Phenomenal documentary on a place that has meant so much to so many of us who work on Port-Royal, Jansenism, the Convulsionnaires, the Abbé Grégoire, etc.

Great article by Paul Joseph on the concept of spiritual abuse. #CatholicTwitter America Magazine americamagazine.org/faith/2025/06/…
