Regular readers of this blog are familiar with the wisdom of Francis X. Clooney, S.J. Now Fr. Clooney has been recognized for his outstanding work in comparative theology by the British Academy, which has elected him a corresponding fellow. Corresponding Fellows are scholars outside the UK who have "attained high international standing in any of the branches of study which it is the object of the Academy to promote," namely the humanities and social sciences.

Fr. Clooney joins the company of such well-respected scholars as Martha Nussbaum, Jonathan Spence and the late Tony Judt. Congratulations to Fr. Clooney on this distinct honor.

Congratulations, indeed, Fr. Clooney and thanks for all the good work.  How we relate to other religions is of critical importance today and it is important that it not be based on conflict and predjudice.  Your work is essential even beyond the academic significance.

History's first American pope reaffirmed Wednesday that the primary role of bishops is to forge unity in his diocese among clergy and to be close to his flock in word and deed.
“Dear friends, a Bishop is a witness to hope by his example of a life firmly grounded in God and completely devoted to the service of the Church. This will be the case only insofar as he is conformed to Christ in his personal life and in his apostolic ministry.”
Pope Leo XIVJune 25, 2025
Aware of the deep concern this new act of violence has caused among Christians in this part of the world, Pope Leo offered these words of assurance: “I say to the Christians of the Middle East: I am close to you! The whole church is close to you!”
