Millennial co-founder Christopher Hale has a new article in Time on House Speaker John Boehner and immigration reform. He writes:
Speaker Boehner now must decide between the social teaching of his faith and the political agenda of a fringe element of his party. He doesn’t face this decision alone, however. If he stands up against the Tea Party and for the Gospel on this critical issue, he’ll find a Church who is willing to walk with him the entire way. That’s a team worth being on: after all, it is faith—not politics—that saves us in the end.

Millennial writer Nichole Flores has a new article, “Political Emotion, Religion, and the Pursuit of Racial Justice,” in which she writes:
Excluding religious thought from public discourse is counterproductive; on the contrary, emotion tutored in particular religious commitments—for example, to human dignity, participation, solidarity, preferential option for those treated unjustly, and the common good—can contribute positively to forging a societal consensus that sustains and advances civil rights legislation.

Millennial writer Dan DiLeo has a new post at America, “Should U.S. bishops weigh in on the carbon emissions policy?” He writes:
The U.S.C.C.B.’s letter to the E.P.A. fulfills the conference’s vocation to both influence public policy and form individual consciences in accord with authentic Catholic teaching. Although it remains to be seen whether policymakers and individual Catholics heed the bishop’s insights, the U.S.C.C.B.’s letter serves as a prophetic call to all people of faith and goodwill.

Millennial writer Meghan Clark is quoted in a National Catholic Reporter story on the recent conference “Erroneous Autonomy: The Catholic Case Against Libertarianism,” in which she was a panelist. She is also quoted by Catholic News Service in another story on the conference.
Millennial editor Robert Christian and contributor Daniel Petri are cited in “The Audacity of Pope: The ‘Francis Doctrine’ puts the Vatican back on the world stage” in the Washington Post. The article notes Christian and Petri’s rejection of the claim that Pope Francis’ Syria peace initiative—which has been followed by continued civil war, over 60,000 deaths, the strengthening of extremists and terrorists, and the use of barrel bombs and possibly chlorine gas by the Assad regime—has been a success.
