(RNS) — Back in 2021, a group of evangelical families, including the founders of Hobby Lobby, began funding a new ad campaign, hoping to help skeptical Americans give Jesus a second look and to convince people to be a little kinder to one another.
The website for the campaign describes the mission this way: “Our hope was that more people could encounter love. More joy. More peace. A greater sense of purpose.”
By now, there is not much left to say about Donald Trump. Anyone who denies that he’s ignorant, dishonest, vain, callous, greedy, and contemptuous of law and constitutional principle is either pretending or deluded. The former, mostly political columnists looking to tart up the plain truth in ceaseless pursuit of clicks, may be safely ignored. The latter make up approximately 40 percent of the electorate. They are a problem.
Through every absurdity, every outrage, every scandal, they have never wavered. Through two tax cuts that have transferred trillions of dollars from them to the top tax brackets, they have remained faithful. Through savage increases in health-insurance costs to themselves and their neighbors, they have not doubted. Despite his vile boasts about grabbing women’s genitals and his conviction for sexual assault (the judge called it “rape”), they love him still. They are spellbound.
Archbishop Hicks commits to missionary church
NEW YORK (RNS) — Archbishop Ronald A. Hicks began his first homily as the leader of about 2.5 million New York Catholics by speaking Spanish, quoting from a hymn almost every Mass-going Latino knows.
“Lord, take my life,” he began in Spanish, imperfectly quoting from “Alma Misionera,” or “Missionary Soul.” He continued, “I’m willing to do whatever you want, no matter what it is, you lead me to serve.”
On Friday (Feb. 6), Cardinal Timothy Dolan formally stepped down after more than 16 years leading the Archdiocese of New York as Hicks became his successor. Hicks most recently served as bishop of Joliet, Illinois, and previously led an orphanage in El Salvador, was a Chicago priest and served as a seminary formation director. At age 58, he presumably will have almost two decades to lead the influential diocese before he is expected to submit his resignation at 75.

THE ESSENTIAL MANNERS WE ALL NEED TO BRING INTO 2026 |
Somewhere between voice notes, delivery apps, and doom-scrolling, a few of the small graces of daily life seem to have slipped out the door. No one is trying to be rude — most of us are simply rushed, distracted, and a little tired. These quiet, everyday habits could change how 2026 feels for everyone around you. |
