As Chicago’s “No Kings” protests against President Trump wound down Saturday afternoon, the celebration of Pope Leo at White Sox stadium began. Which made me wonder: Does one impact the other?

“The many actions of protest throughout the country reflect the moral sentiments of many Americans that enforcement alone cannot be the solution to addressing our nation’s immigration challenges,” Archbishop Timothy Broglio said in a June 16 statement.

The June 14 celebration featured the first-ever airing of Pope Leo XIV’s video message to the world’s youth at the White Sox stadium in Chicago’s Southside.

It is fair to say that the global tab for addressing the world’s acute humanitarian or ecological needs pales in comparison to the eye-watering amounts governments unabashedly dole out for bombs and bullets.

Cardinal Robert W. McElroy announced that the Archdiocese of Washington will cut spending and reduce its workforce to address “crippling economic challenges.”

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Superior, who had asked the high court to overturn a decision by the state supreme court that the agency argued discounted its religious identity.
