Good conversation with Angela Sealana at Pilgrim Center of Hope on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and the work of the Center for Catholic Studies @StMarysU. youtube.com/watch?v=laHmp1dQ…

My latest in the @ExpressNews: Pope Leo XIV urges us not to divinize or demonize AI, but to guide our use of it by human dignity expressnews.com/opinion/comm…

Yesterday , I was on Guadalupe Radio Network to talk about the Center for Catholic Studies at St. Mary's University, its research, lectures, and service to the community. (My interview starts at the 20-minute mark.) youtube.com/watch?v=UNs3eHnF…

Did the pope quote Gandalf? Yes, yes, he did (no. 213). vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

A stronger Catholic identity is needed, one that gives colleges clearer direction and purpose as all of higher education changes, one that is more than just ROI.

New essay in @commonwealmag by the excellent @HeidiSchlumpf on my Holistic Impact Report and the future of Catholic higher education. It pushes for meaning, purpose, ethics, and community as central to Catholic identity. @StMarysU leads the way on this kind of work.

Nice to be quoted in this story: "God’s love for people and God’s call to love others resonates especially with students who are looking for meaning in life while also experiencing a sense of loneliness."

Bringing to the foreground the philosophical debate about the unity of the virtues? Pretty interesting way to analyze AI. nytimes.com/2026/03/10/opini…

ChatGPT euphemism of the day: "I’m generating likely explanations unless I force myself into a verifiable compute pathway." I make stuff up unless you tell me not to. 🤣

Honored to give the 2026 Bernadette O’Connor Lecture at @UIWLATAM this week. The question: Does Catholic education make a difference? The answer, from national data and graduate stories, it shapes meaning, ethics, community, work, and even how students approach AI.

Nice to see my op/ed out! If you only focus on financial outcomes (which are real and important), you miss all the things colleges do for students, including those who don't come from the upper class.

I really liked this thought piece by @MichaelSWinters. It avoided "whose side is he on" framing, reflecting more on the transition from Pope Francis to Pope Leo XIV: "A successor, not a replacement." ncronline.org/node/318656 via @NCRonline

My new op-ed just came out in the San Antonio Express-News: “Reconciliation begins where we serve together.” It's on Pope Leo XIV "On Love of the Poor", on how love can break down walls and brings people together. expressnews.com/opinion/comm… via @expressnews

The 2025 Holistic Impact Report is out! Catholic college grads report higher purpose, belonging, well-being, & financial stability than peers nationwide. Full story: stmarytx.edu/2025/hir-study-… #HIR2025 #CatholicEducation #HigherEd

This month’s Lin Great Speakers Series features Sandra Yocum, Ph.D., on “Praying in the World Today.” She reflects on how prayer lives and changes in contemporary culture. Check out the commercial: youtu.be/87lMvIBbJ2o #StMaryTX #CatholicStudies

Excited to be in this conversation about theology and higher education with @MassimoFaggioli. We share so many of the same concerns.

Nice to get some attention on this round up, especially the call for thinking through theology for undergraduates.

Proud to share findings from a new study I worked on with @stmaryslawscho1 and @StMarysLawDean: Catholic law grads outpace secular peers in law practice, values alignment, ethical reasoning & civic life. catholicnewsagency.com/news/…

Glad to see my new post in @ChurchLifeND. It goes with my reflections in @americamag last month. Both are trying to think through the future of theology amidst the changes in Catholic higher education.
