Broken Bread & Lives Poured Out by

In July of A.D. 64, during the tenth year of Nero’s reign, a great fire
consumed much of the city of Rome. The fire raged out of control for seven days and
then it started again, mysteriously, a day later. Many in Rome knew that Nero
had been eager to do some urban redevelopment. He had a plan that included an
opulent golden palace for himself. The problem was that so many buildings were
standing in his way many of them teeming wooden tenements housing Rome’s
poor and working class.

CNA Staff, Jan 29, 2021 / 04:14 pm (CNA).- The polarization of American politics means that Catholics must be a force for unity rather than “divisively tribal,” and clergy especially need to be careful that they don’t let their personal politics compromise their Christian mission, Bishop Donald Hying of Madison has said.
“All Catholics have to be careful to engage in political life in a manner that reflects the Gospel, but clergy need to exercise special caution so that their political activity is consistent with their vocation in the Church,” he said in a Jan. 27 reflection on the “current state of general acrimony.”
