In Bartolome de las Casas's final years, he wrote in defense of the Indigenous of Peru hoping to salvage them from colonization and to offer them salvation in Christ. Powerful to think of @Pontifex in Peru offering the love of Christ and resisting the death-dealing love of money.

“God holds the colonized, the enslaved, the unborn, the refugee, the poor, the neglected old and ill in his memory and requires that we too keep them close. The good news is primarily for them.” @TerenceJSweeney

Uhh. West Philly? The beautiful tree lined trolley car neighborhood. Full of porches with people to great you and beautiful 1890s-1930s homes. People walk in that neighborhood all the time.

If you really want to be inclusive you can say Philly, NOLA, DC because of their historic downtowns, or throw some college towns on the list

A beautiful book about a language I do not know and a country my family left a hundred years ago. And yet a language and a land that I love. And a faith I hope to see restored in it. RIP Manchan Magan.

www.commonwealmagazine.org Language of a Land The late Manchán Magan's last book, a "revelry" in the Irish language, underplays the role of Catholicism in Ireland.
