My fellow Americans, I have some bad news: This is who we are.

We must begin to notice, name and resist the distortions caused by ageism, so that more clear-eyed assessments of President Biden are possible.

Too many people opposing Mr. Trump have adopted an us-vs.-them mentality. Democrats must attempt to bridge the real divisions in the United States.

There’s a lot at stake in our country and in our church. We must learn from those with experience, but we must also prepare the next generation to take our place.

Most adult Catholics in the United States say the church informs their opinions about immigration at least “somewhat,” but only 19 percent say it informs their opinions “very much.”

With all due respect to the leadership, I believe the U.S. bishops’ conference is quietly taking extraordinary actions that curtail our sacred social mission.
