Here's something you don't see every day. The story of St. Ignatius Loyola as told by a talking Spanish olive. And--guess what?--it's actually quite accurate. High marks to the stuffed Spanish olive, which has apparently been poring over The First Jesuits. This fun video is courtesy of Jason Kapell of the Fairfield University Media Center. Favorite part: Ignatius cuffs the fellow dressing his wound at Pamplona. Go Stags!

Fantastic!I am going to send it to everybody I know as it is a breath of fresh air.What a Saint and what a video. A Jesuit (not naming names)once called him "like a taciturn unclewho has paid for your college education " but we can also see this was a man who lived and lived an extraordinary life.AMDG indeed.
The latest from america
Just halfway through his period of convalescence, Pope Francis not only appeared on the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica on Easter Sunday to give the Urbi et Orbi blessing—to the city of Rome (“urbi”) and to the world (“orbi”)—but he also drove among the crowd in his jeep.
Against the backdrop of deep differences with the Trump administration over migration and foreign aid as well as concerns for Ukraine and for Gaza, the Vatican secretary of state welcomed U.S. Vice President JD Vance to the Vatican.
Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, attended the liturgy with his wife, Usha, a practicing Hindu, and his three children after meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni earlier in the day.
My Catholic identity and my wife’s Protestant identity continue to endure, and our faith has developed together in greater harmony, knowing that our love for each other was ultimately grounded in our love for God.
