August 6 is the feast of the Transfiguration and this year it is also the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which was followed three days later by the bombing of Nagasaki. Those bombings ended World War 2 but began decades of terror as the fear of atomic power and the lust after it force us to confront humanity’s fascination with violence.Father William Grimm  shares some thoughts on this.

The world is transfixed and bewildered by the government of the United States led by Donald Trump. In the U.S. there is increasing shock and anger even among those who voted for Trump at what is happening to their country. America’s bishops, many of whom supported him, are now trying to respond to policies and actions that violate human dignity and hurt various Church programs. It is, however, too late for them to effectively play a prophetic role in opposing the abuse of power. Father William Grimm  shares some thoughts on this.
